Woman gets fine for owing maid 3 years’ salary in ‘safekeeping’ arrangement

For each count of not paying the helper's salary no later than seven days after it was due, Wu could have been jailed for up to a year, fined up to S$10,000, or both.
Instead she received no jail time and one S$10,000 fine when there were dozens of counts.
- That's such a slap on the wrist for what she has done.
- As someone with an interest in math, I can see how this could be an infinity money fine.
I’m gonna put my taxes in “safekeeping” so the government doesn’t blow it all at once on some dumb purchase like the military
I'm really starting to think enployee abuse is not necessarily a corporate CEO thing. It may be human nature when given power over another human being thing.
- That's what the prisoner/guard experiment showed.
  
  Ehh that experiment had it's own flaws but it certainly produced some interesting results worth seeing.
Ha! I thought that was the maid getting paid the extra money.
That super happy lady is the one who got the fine!
Fine? That sounds like a thirteenth amendment situation.
Edit: not US, no thirteenth amendment.
That’s just slavery with extra steps.
- Please elaborate. What do you doubt? Which women?
