Badingah's Hari Raya smile

By Diana Othman

INDONESIAN maid Badingah, 28, can smile now that she has two front teeth again.

They had been cruelly pulled out with a pair of pliers by a teenager, while the maid's former employer held her mouth open.

Coming to her rescue two weeks ago was Dr Steven Ang, a dental surgeon with a clinic in Orchard Road, who offered to repair her damaged mouth for free.

Read Diana Othman's full story in Tuesday's edition of The Straits Times.
