A domestic helper today found out that stealing 100 yuan from her employer would cost her far more in terms of money, time, anxiety and a criminal record that would make it hard for her to find a new employer after being terminatedd.
D. Duban, 45. years old, pleaded guilty today at Kwun Tong Court to stealing 100 yuan from her employer at their residence at a flat in Malibu, 1 Lohas Park Road, Tseung Kwan O, New Territories last June 16.
Acting Principal Magistrate Li Chi-ho sentenced her to a fine
of $1,500 plus seven days’ imprisonment, suspended for two years.
