Helper jailed for causing head injury to elderly employer


SINGAPORE – A domestic helper got into a scuffle with her elderly employer, who fell and suffered a left subdural haemorrhage.

It is a medical condition where blood pools between the surface of the brain and the inner layer of the skull.

The 94-year-old victim went to hospital, where he went through a platelet transfusion to prevent the injury from worsening.

Sulastri Wulandari, 31, who is an Indonesian, was sentenced to eight weeks’ jail on Aug 14 after pleading guilty to causing hurt to the senior citizen by performing a rash act.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Andrew Chia told the court the victim had needed her help with his daily activities.

The pair were the only residents of a Telok Blangah Housing Board flat, and they slept in separate bedrooms.
