Spotted on The New Paper:

Former employer hit by $93,000 medical bill for maid’s rare skin condition

She was straining under the trauma of her husband’s heart surgery when she was hit with a second whammy, one that cost her more than $90,000.

Madam Jameela Bee Mohd’s husband was at Changi General Hospital when her maid was hit by toxic epidermal necrolysis, a rare and life-threatening skin condition.

The maid, Miss Nur Umaroh Karwiyahmukhlis, contracted the condition after she sought treatment for gum pain in late April. A few days later, the 26-year-old was in the intensive care unit of Singapore General Hospital fighting for her life.

On May 30 — 33 days later — she recovered, was discharged and returned to Indonesia, leaving her former employer with a medical bill of about $93,000.

Luckily the maid is fine now..but how is her employer supposed to bear the cost? It’s almost 100k!! Hope the maid is covered under insurance :S
