In another case, the tabloid reported that police have arrested an air stewardess accused of being cruel to her maid.

The mother of two from Puchong was said to have regularly punched and kicked her Indonesian maid until she could not stand it any more and ran away.

The last straw for the maid was when she was beaten up by her employer with a belt last Monday.

The maid has been warded for treatment at a hospital.

The employer has been remanded.
