A 33-year-old maid who allegedly filmed videos of herself bathing her elderly employer will be charged in court on Thursday (Oct 14).

She allegedly uploaded one such video on social media and distributed the videos to others, the police said in a statement on Wednesday.

A police report was lodged on Jan 3 this year and the woman was arrested on the same day for her suspected involvement in voyeurism and distributing intimate recordings involving a vulnerable victim.


Maid arrested for voyeurism after posting TikTok video
Was it just an innocent video, or an invasion of privacy?

A 32-year-old domestic worker was arrested for voyeurism on Sunday (Jan 3) after her Tiktok video went viral, the police confirmed with AsiaOne.

The minute-long clip, reuploaded onto various Facebook groups on Jan 2, showed her helping an elderly man shower — holding up the showerhead for him and handing him a bar of soap and a razor — while turning to look at the camera several times. The elderly man did not seem to be aware that she was recording the incident.

Netizens were appalled, calling the maid out for humiliating the elderly by uploading the footage of him in such a vulnerable state.


FDW Who Posted Herself Bathing Elderly in TikTok Reportedly Arrested for Voyeurism

With the internet, there are a great many things you can post online to keep yourself and a circle of social media friends entertained. But just as there are many things that can be posted, there are also many things that shouldn’t be posted. Such as bathing an elderly man.

Unfortunately, a foreign domestic worker (FDW) in Singapore learnt this lesson the hard way. On 6 Jan 2021, it was reported that an FDW who filmed herself bathing an elderly and posting it on TikTok was arrested on 3 Jan.

The elderly man who was being bathed seemed unaware of the filming. The FDW could be seen glancing at the camera from time to time during the minute-long clip.


Domestic Helper Films TikTok Video While Helping Elderly Man Shower, Gets Arrested For Voyeurism

TikTok has become a mainstream social media platform to share videos. However, the unregulated digital space can be dangerous as much as it is fun.

Last Saturday (2 Jan), a TikTok video by a domestic helper in Singapore went viral after it was reposted in several Facebook groups. The uncensored video reportedly showed the helper filming herself while helping an elderly man shower.

Soon after on Sunday (3 Jan), the helper was arrested for voyeurism.


FOREIGN MAID HELP SHOWER ELDERLY MAN & UPLOAD TO TIK TOK

A video was recently uploaded on the Facebook page Sg Dirty Fella which shows a maid showering an elderly man.

The foreign maid then uploaded the video on her Tiktok account. Such actions are indeed incorrigible as employers place their trust in the maid to take care of their parents.

The video has since been deleted from her Tiktok account.


Domestic helper films TikTok video of her bathing elderly man leading to outrage online in S'pore
The original video did not censor the man's face

Various shenanigans and happenings posted to TikTok have attracted attention and backlash recently after they were circulated on other social media platforms. Another TikTok video posted to Facebook appears to have drawn netizens' ire.

In a video reposted to a Facebook group offering support for foreign domestic workers in Singapore and their employers, a woman believed to be a domestic helper, can be seen assisting an elderly man in a bathroom. The camera appeared to have been set up by the woman before she started filming herself bathing the man, who is seated. The woman looks directly at the camera several times.

In a repost of the same video to another Facebook group, the caption stated that the elderly man's face was not censored in the original TikTok video.


FDW Drew Flak for Filming Herself Bathing Elderly Man & Posting it on TikTok

Slowly but surely, TikTok is taking over the world. And foreign domestic workers are not exempt from that notion. Gone are the days of old when helpers have to contend with a lopsided ratio of 100% labour and 0% entertainment. They are now free to dabble in the mystic arts of TikTok, though whether it’s for a positive cause is quite another question altogether.

A foreign domestic worker has drawn the ire of the public, after posting a video of herself assisting an elderly man in the bathroom. The original video in TikTok, which failed to censor the man’s face, appears to have been taken down.

It was, however, subsequently reposted to a Facebook group that proffers support for domestic workers in Singapore and their employers. In the video, the helper can be seen bathing the man, who is situated in a seating position. The camera seems to have been set up beforehand. The helper also looks at the camera several times during the clip. Nonetheless, you can view the video here.

Mother of 3 horrified after maid sends her videos of her kids bathing

It happened once, then twice, then more times than this employer was willing to accept.

After receiving multiple photos and videos of her three young sons bathing from her domestic helper, in addition to a string of strange occurrences, the 37-year-old employer resorted to filing a police report for her family's safety, Lianhe Wanbao reported.

Speaking to the Chinese evening daily, the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, explained that she had hired the helper in June last year to look after her three boys, aged four to eight.

When mobile phone usage comes between employers and domestic workers
Have smartphone, will share — as seen on video-sharing network TikTok, which is popular among domestic workers right now

Noraini Wahid was going to renew her foreign domestic worker’s contract when she discovered something distressing: The latter had a secret mobile phone, with pornographic photos and videos inside.

Unknown to her, the maid — who had a boyfriend — had also been taking selfies on the bed in her mother’s room “wearing just a bra”, and sharing those photos with him.

Noraini, a mother of three, had earlier put restrictions on the domestic worker having her own phone. But the latter bought one from another maid living in the same block, and hid it from her employer.
