Singapore - A Singapore court on Monday fined a woman 5,000 Singapore dollars (3,518 US dollars) for abusing her maid, a media report said.

Mok Pui Keng, 47, got mad at her helper, Sri Hartati, 29, because the maid did not dry her legs after bathing and left tracks on the floor.

Mok slapped the maid on her neck and kicked her on her thigh in June last year, the online edition of Straits Times newspaper reported.

The maid left her employer's house and filed a report. (dpa)
