SINGAPORE — For almost three years, a woman entered into an arrangement with her foreign domestic worker to “safekeep” all her salary instead of paying her monthly as required by law.
For each count of not paying the helper’s salary no later than seven days after it was due, Wu could have been jailed for up to a year, fined up to S$10,000, or both.
Instead she received no jail time and one S$10,000 fine when there were dozens of counts.

That’s such a slap on the wrist for what she has done.
As someone with an interest in math, I can see how this could be an infinity money fine.
