SINGAPORE - A maid abuser was jailed yesterday, after his wife had turned him in to the authorities.

In the Subordinate Courts, Chua Tian Hoe, 64, was jailed 12 months for commiting criminal intimidation.

The court heard that in December last year, Chua became angry after his Indonesian helper Atin Supriatin did not respond to his question and punched her in the right eye.
