SINGAPORE: A foreign domestic worker lost her temper after her 94-year-old employer repeatedly hit her bedroom door with his walking stick, leading to a struggle that left him with a head injury.
Sulastri Wulandari, an Indonesian national, was sentenced to eight weeks’ jail on Friday (Aug 14) after pleading guilty to one count of causing hurt by a rash act against a vulnerable person.
The 31-year-old was the victim’s caretaker and assisted him with his daily activities. They were the only occupants of the unit and slept in separate bedrooms.
On Feb 21, 2026, Sulastri was in her room when the victim knocked on her door at about 10.40pm. He asked her to take him out for food.Â
She opened the door, told him that he had already eaten and slammed it shut.
The elderly man then picked up his walking stick from the living room and repeatedly hit Sulastri’s bedroom door for about 10 seconds.
When Sulastri opened the door, she saw the victim with his walking stick and lost her temper.
She grabbed the walking stick, trying to wrest it away from the victim by pushing him and pulling the stick towards herself. The pair grappled for 20 seconds, during which the helper also tried to pry the victim’s hands off the walking stick.
