Maid's ex-boss jailed over teeth
THE former employer of Indonesian maid Badingah, whose two front teeth were forcibly pulled out, was jailed 17 months yesterday.

Elsa Elyana Said, 25, and self-employed, pleaded guilty last month to abetting teenage 'dentist' Nur Rizan Mohamed Sazali in extracting the maid's teeth and punching her.

The abuse took place in a flat in Jalan Minyak, off Chin Swee Road.

Nur Rizan, 18, is serving 26 months' jail for pulling the maid's teeth out, as well as for pouring boiling wax on her head.

Her brother, Mr Muhammad Iz'aan, 20, was released on Tuesday after having served two months for caning Ms Badingah, 29.

The siblings' mother, Maselly Abdul Aziz, 38, is facing trial next month for maid abuse and criminal intimidation. Elsa, listed as Ms Badingah's employer, was living with Maselly and her children.
