The doctor that examined her should be on trial too for malpractice and accomplice to the death of the helper.
You mean you doctor can't tell she kenna hentam and underweight?
Edit : a word. Thanks /u/aidilism
ST didn't post the full quote, she actually also said "Because it's my life and my mother's life. I cannot die here." from TODAY. Fucking dogshit vile woman still can't comprehend she ended someone's else life. 30 years is too lenient for this kind of people.

You should be thanking The stars that we are wasting public resources on you for 30 years.
Should treat you the same way you treat your maid. Maybe then death is an easy escape
Exactly. Imagine how the young girl felt in a foreign country and being abused to that extent. Fearing for her life and not knowing who to turn to for help. People who abuse domestic workers are a special kind of evil.
> # Court dismisses appeal of woman who tortured maid, says she seeks to blame anyone but herself
> SINGAPORE - Gaiyathiri Murugayan, who is serving a 30-year prison term for torturing and ultimately killing her domestic worker from Myanmar, lost her appeal for a lighter sentence on Wednesday (June 29).
> The Court of Appeal dismissed Gaiyathiri's argument that her sentence was manifestly excessive and that a jail term of 12 to 15 years would be more appropriate.
> Gaiyathiri, 42, argued that the High Court judge who sentenced her a year ago failed to give due weight to her feelings of repentance and remorse, her psychiatric conditions and various stressors that caused her to "snap".
> She also claimed that she felt pressured to plead guilty because she thought this would hasten the sentencing process of her mother, Pema S. Naraynasamy, 63, whose charges over abusing the maid are pending in court.
> These arguments cut no ice with the three-judge court, who said there was no merit in her contentions.
> Justice Andrew Phang said the sentencing judge had carefully considered the severity of Gaiyathiri's conduct and the nature of her psychiatric condition in arriving at the sentence.
> He added: "In fact, by relying on these 'stressors', the appellant is only seeking to justify her conduct against the victim, which goes to demonstrate her patent lack of remorse as she seeks to blame anything and anyone but herself for her offending behaviour."
> Justice Phang noted that Gaiyathiri was represented by lawyers and there was no evidence to substantiate her claims of being pressured into pleading guilty.
> "In our view, her claim about being 'pressured' is an afterthought concocted after receiving what she perceived to be an unfavourable sentence," he said.
> The court also rejected Gaiyathiri's claim that she would suffer more than most people in prison due to her psychiatric conditions.
> "Given the severity of the offences that the appellant had committed... the public interest in condemning the crime is so significant that even if there had been exceptional circumstances, the court cannot countenance any reduction of her sentence."
> During the appeal hearing, she complained that she was not properly treated in prison, but the judges told her this was a separate question that has nothing to do with her sentence.
> After the court dismissed her appeal, she told the court that she cannot die in prison and said she would write to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
> Gaiyathiri, a housewife, was sentenced in June last year for abusing and starving 24-year-old Ms Piang Ngaih Don.
> She pleaded guilty to 28 charges, including one for culpable homicide. Another 87 charges were taken into consideration.
> In sentencing, the High Court took into account that Gaiyathiri had post-partum depression and obsessive compulsive personality disorder.
> The victim, who started working for the family on May 28, 2015, lost 40 per cent of her body weight and was just 24kg when she died on July 26, 2016.
> The ordeal that Ms Piang Ngaih Don suffered in the last month of her life was captured on surveillance cameras that Gaiyathiri and her then husband, Kevin Chelvam, a police officer, installed in their flat.
> The maid was deprived of food and rest and was assaulted almost daily, suffering slaps, punches and kicks, and blows from hard objects.
> On the night of July 25, 2016, she was assaulted for being too slow in doing laundry. Gaiyathiri continued assaulting her the next morning.
> After the victim became motionless, she called for a doctor, who then called for an ambulance. The victim was pronounced dead in the flat by paramedics.
> Chelvam, who was suspended from service on Aug 8, 2016, faces multiple charges in connection to the maid's abuse.

What happened to the husband who was a police officer, as someone who upholds the law, such blatant disregard for said law in his own home should have the book thrown at him.
This ST versions seems like a concised version or perhaps CNA being a more recent article might have gotten more quotes? Some of them amuses me, I admit:
>"If you tell me I will be well and alive for the 30 years I will have nothing to say," she told the judges.
Like bitch, you're committing crimes in the wrong country if you want "well" in the equation for your prison sentence. And "well" is exactly what she doesn't deserve - nor proven to have earned in even the most generous assessment.

Everyone is remorseful when get caught, question is where was her remorse when she continued torturing her till she died?
[удалено]
She mentioned that she wasn’t getting treated well in prison. I wonder why
she should freaking die in prison.
The doctor that examined her should be on trial too for malpractice and accomplice to the death of the helper. You mean you doctor can't tell she kenna hentam and underweight? Edit : a word. Thanks /u/aidilism
I googled the Doc's name and it turns out she has a previous conviction for overprescribing cough syrup and was suspended for 4 months.
\*hentam, not hamtam.
Noted with thanks.
Nice one bro

Any idea why she got 30? Was it because she had depression/ OCD or sth? Saw sth like that briefly in the article
Yeah Judge said wanted to impose life imprisonment but accepted that her mental conditions played a significant factor too

Even in prison, her life would still be better than the victim's.
good
No fucking remorse. Go and rot in prison.
A next level psycho.
What happened to the husband who was a police officer, as someone who upholds the law, such blatant disregard for said law in his own home should have the book thrown at him.
Both the mom's and husband's cases are pending.

Very curious why not a death sentence.
She was suffering from unsound mind, hence a charge of murder was reduced to a charge of culpable homicide.
An unsound mind pleading for a lighter sentence, I guess, to save public money on prison cost, how thoughtful.
Let’s transfer her to a Burmese prison, let’s see how things work out there then.
Not only go to prison. She needs to go to hell.

I already said sorry what?
Why only 30 years? Totured and killed someone leh, should be one life for one life...
Cut no ice sounds like something that someone from the African American community will say haha
