It is the first time that an employer in Singapore has been convicted of acting as a maid's pimp.

The Min Yek, 35, admitted in court Monday to asking Awunningsih, who arrived from Indonesia in April, to work as a prostitute and telling her she could provide clients.

The court was told the 24-year-old maid had sex with five men between April 21 and early May in The's house and was paid S$80 (US$47) in total while her boss took $300.

Anti-vice police raided The's home after a maid agency lodged a protest.

The court heard that Awunningsih was a willing participant as she wanted to pay off a S$2000 debt to her maid agency.
