How I survived the ‘terrorist attack’ of being falsely accused of wounding my maid
Ngan Suk-wai was acquitted of wounding with intent Anis Andriyani, her Indonesian domestic helper, earlier this month.
There were no ominous signs when Ngan Suk-wai left her Pok Fu Lam home for work on February 24 last year.
She did her usual morning routine before heading out. As she departed, she recalled specifically her recently employed Indonesian domestic helper close the door for her.
Ngan, a self-described ordinary mother, had no idea what’s about to come – that her domestic helper would accuse her of cutting her finger hours later.
She could also have scarcely imagined she would get caught up in a costly legal battle and became part of series of domestic helper abuse cases that have recently chilled the city.
“What an unexpected turn my life [took]”, Ngan, 40, told the South China Morning Post, after she was acquitted of wounding with intent Anis Andriyani, 26, her Indonesian domestic helper of less than a week.
“I told my friends, to put it bluntly, it was like a ‘terrorist attack’ for me,” she gasped.
