“I hope the Government will make it compulsory for all maids to go through a psychiatric evaluation. Our maid did not show any aggressive demeanour for the three months that she worked with us,” said the assistant manager.
The baby’s uncle, Redzuan Yahaya, 47 said the maid showed no signs of remorse when he told her the chances of the baby’s survival was 50-50.
“Even when I told her that she was going to be questioned by the police, she merely answered ‘OK’, which is quite surprising,” he said.
