Separately, a female visitor from the Mainland aged 25 was arrested during operation “Windsand”, on suspicion of illegal parallel trading. She was selling goods, mainly health care products, on San Wan Road in Sheung Shui.

Illegal immigrants, those on recognizance or are overstayers, commit a more serious offence if they take up work in Hong Kong. They face prosecution and imprisonment for up to three years, and a fine of up to $50,000.

Those who employ illegal workers commit the gravest offence under the Immigration Ordinance. They face a maximum jail term of 10 years, and a fine of up to $500,000. Employers are thus enjoined to make enquiries about  job applicants and not just inspect their identity cards.

Inaresto ang Pilipina na binitbit ang alaga sa leeg, ayon sa pulis

Posted on No comments

 

Ang Eastern District Police Station sa North Point ang nag-iimbestiga ng kaso

Sa gitna ng patuloy na debate tungkol sa kumalat na video ng isang yaya na binitbit ang alagang bata sa leeg habang patawid ng kalsada sa Tin Hau ay sinabi ng pulis sa The SUN na inaresto nila ang tagapag-alaga noong Miyerkules, Sept. 13, sa North Point.

Kinumpirma din nila na ang inaresto ay isang Pilipinang domestic helper na 37 taong gulang. Pinayagan nila itong magpiyansa pero inutusang bumalik sa Eastern District Police Station sa kalagitnaan ng Oktubre para sa patuloy na pag-iimbestiga ng kaso.

Inaresto ang Pilipina dahil sa suspetsa na inabuso o sinaktan niya ang alagang batang lalaki na apat na taong gulang.

Pero ayon sa pulis, walang nakitang anumang sugat o pasa sa bata at nananatili itong alerto kaya bahala na daw ang mga magulang ng bata na patingnan ito sa doktor.

Ang pag-aresto sa Pilipina ay isinagawa sa kabila ng pagkalat ng balita na mismong ang ina nito ang nagsabi na walang ginawang masama ang tagapag-alaga na tinawag pa nito na “little sister.” Nataranta lang daw ito at baka mahuli sa eskwela ang bata.

May ilan ding Pilipina na nakiusap na tigilan na ang pagpapakalat ng video dahil nagdudulot na daw ito ng kaba at tensyon sa tagapag-alaga na binatikos ng marami.

Kita sa video na binitbit sa leeg ang bata ng yayang Pilipina

Kabilang sa mga nagalit sa lumitaw na video na inabot ng 14 segundo ay ilang mga expatriate na ina, na nagkaisa sa pagsasabi sa isang Facebook page na isang pang-aabuso ang ginawa ng Pilipina sa bata. Kahit pa daw nag-aalburuto ito ay hindi dapat ito binitbit sa leeg ng tagapag-alaga dahil siguradong nasaktan ito.

Karamihan ng mga sumagot naman para kontrahin ang ganitong pananaw ay mga Pilipina din, na sinabi na kung ang mismong ang ina ng bata ay hindi sinampahan ng reklamo ang yaya, bakit sila pa na hindi naman alam ang buong pangyayari ay pinipilit na may ginawang pang-aabuso ito?

May ilan ding nagsabi na hindi nakita sa video ang buong pangyayari kaya mali na husgahan agad ang Pilipina.

Sa video ay maririnig na sinisita ang tagapag-alaga ng isang local na babae at sinasabing mag-ingat sa paghawak sa bata dahil ito ay nasasaktan. Binalaan din niya ito na kinukunan siya ng video.

“Be careful, you’re hurting her (sic). I’m recording you. You’re being rude to this kid. What happened to you?”, sabi ng nag video.

Sinagot lang ito ng Pilipina na ayaw daw kasing pumasok sa eskwela ng bata bago umalis papalayo kasama ang alaga. Dito na natapos ang video.

Habang kinukuhanan sila ng video sa tawiran ay makikita na naiiyak ang bata na base sa kanyang uniporme ay estudyante ng Victoria Kindergarten sa di kalayuan. Sinubukan nitong tanggalin ang kamay ng tagapag-alaga sa kanyang leeg at nang lumapit ang nag video ay tumingin dito ang bata na parang nagmamakaawa.

Sa kabila nito, maraming Pilipina ang nagsabi na marami kasing bata sa Hong Kong na pasaway, lalo na kung kinakampihan ng mga magulang lagi. Mayroon ding nagsabi na mismong ang magulang daw ng kanilang mga alaga ang nagsabi na gawin nila ang nararapat kapag tumatawid silang magkasabay para masiguro ang kanilang kaligtasan.


PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Pero sabi naman ng iba, kahit gaano kalikot o hirap kontrolin ang isang bata ay dapat pa ring maging pasensyoso at maingat ang mga tagapag-alaga sa pagdisiplina sa kanila. Bukod sa mas makakatulong ito para mapalapit sa kanila ang alaga, maiiwasan pa nila ang katulad ng nangyari sa Pilipina sa video na inaresto na ay inulan pa ng batikos sa social media.

Indonesian DH files racial discrimination suit vs former employers

The traditional jilbab that Dwi-Lestari was allegedly forbidden to wear (File)

An Indonesian Muslim who used to work as a domestic helper in Hong Kong is seeking more than $250,000 in compensation from her former employers for allegedly sacking her because of her religious beliefs and practices.

Dwi Lestari took out a writ at the District Court against her retired former employer, Leung Choi, her son Ho Wai-sun and daughter Ho Wai-ngor, for their alleged breach of the Race Discrimination Ordinance.

Dwi-Lestari said she was sacked on March 16, 2020, just two weeks into her job,  after the family told her to stop wearing a a jilbab, a full-length garment covering her body; and not to pray during work.

Her religion reportedly requires adherents to pray five times a day, but Dwi-Lestari said she limited it to just three during her brief stay at Leung's flat in Wah Fu estate in Aberdeen.

Dwi-Lestari’s lawyers said she was not told before signing the contract with Leung, who is now 87, that her family would not allow her to practise her religion while working for them.

She is seeking a total of $254,620 for unpaid wages, a month’s salary in lieu of notice, injury to feelings, loss of earnings and punitive damages.

In the nine years that she had worked for four other families, Dwi-Lestari said she was not stopped from wearing the jilbab, or pray at designated times.

But shortly after she started working for Leung’s family, Wai-ngor allegedly complained about her wearing a jilbab, and told her to stop wearing the garment whenever she  accompanied their family in public.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Lestari relented by wearing only a headscarf and cap when she had to step out, according to the writ.

Later on, the siblings also reprimanded her for doing her daily prayers inside the flat, with the son allegedly saying that it would scare their elderly mother “to death” if that was what she saw as soon as she woke up.

The helper reportedly apologised and offered to pray outside the flat, but the son insisted she must stop the practice altogether.

Shortly afterwards the family terminated their contract and Wai-sun allegedly gave her just $100 plus an air ticket booked for Indonesia the next day. She spent the night at her employment agency’s boarding house before flying out.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

In early 2021, Dwi-Lestari was helped by the NGO,  Justice Without Borders,  in filing a complaint with the Equal Opportunities Commission. An attempt by the EOC to broker a settlement between the parties failed so the helper decided to go to court.

Dwi-Lestari filed the writ at the District Court on Wednesday, and the first hearing has been set for November
