She arrived in Singapore ready to work so that her family in Myanmar could have a better life.
Unable to speak English, domestic worker Ei Phyu Tun, 23, was excited to hear that her employers, who had a six-month-old baby, were also Myanmar nationals.
It was the perfect home away from home.
Or so she thought.
Miss Tun, who started working for her employers in April this year, says the first two months were not bad.
But the relationship changed quickly.
"In late June, madam started beating me," Miss Tun claims in an interview with The New Paper on Sunday (TNPS) through a translator.
MILK BOTTLE
The interview was facilitated by the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (Home) at its office in Lucky Plaza on Friday. "The first time madam hit me was after she scolded me about washing the baby's milk bottle," she says.
"She insisted that I didn't wash it even after I explained that I had. As I tried to explain further, she accused me of talking back to her.
"That was the first time she slapped me across the face."
Miss Tun adds that "for a month and the half, madam used her hand to hit me".
That, however, was only the beginning. She claims the physical abuse escalated quickly.
She alleged her employer used a metal hanger and subsequently, a metal rod on her.
