导读:一对新加坡夫妇由于长期让家中的菲律宾女佣忍饥挨饿，如今恶有恶报，夫妻俩被判入狱。
A Singaporean couple – Lim Choon Hong and his wife Chong Sui Foon – were jailed on Monday (27 March) for starving their Filipina domestic worker over a period of 15 months between 2013 and 2014.
一对新加坡夫妻——林俊宏和他的妻子钟瑞凤，涉嫌在2013年到2014年的15个月内让菲律宾籍女佣挨饿，于周一（3月27日）被判处监禁。
Lim, a trader, was jailed three weeks and fined S$10,000, while Chong was jailed for three months. The couple have four children.
林俊宏的职业是一名交易员，被判监禁3周，罚款10000新元，钟瑞凤被判服刑3月。夫妻二人有4个小孩。
The couple’s maid Thelma Oyasan Gawidan, who is in her 40s, was given only white bread and instant noodles to eat twice a day during the period. By the time she ran away in April 2014 and sought help from migrant advocacy group HOME, Gawidan had lost almost 20kg and weighed just 29kg.
她们的女佣，40多岁的西尔玛只获准两天吃一餐，通常只有几片白面包和方便面。直到2014年4月，西尔玛终于逃出来，并向外来务工人员援助团体求助，此时她已经瘦了20公斤，只有29公斤重。
According to media reports, the prosecution will appeal against the sentences, having asked for a year’s jail for each of them.
据媒体报道，检察机关打算提出上诉，求判处这对夫妻分别一年的监禁。
The couple, who are both 47 and have four children, were found guilty in March 2016 of failing to provide Gawidan with enough food while she was employed by them.
夫妻二人都是47岁，有4个孩子，因在雇佣西尔玛期间未能给她提供足够的食物，于2016年3月被判处有罪。
Chong had claimed that her actions were due to her mental illness as she had been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder as an adult.
钟瑞凤声称她的行为是由于自己患有精神疾病——曾被诊断为强迫症。
However, after hearing the testimony of three psychiatrists, District Judge Low Wee Ping decided that Chong’s behaviour had nothing to do with her condition.
然而，在听取了三名精神科医生的证词后，地区法官Low Wee Ping认为钟瑞凤的行为和她的病情无关。
