SINGAPORE - An Indonesian housemaid (PRT) was fined S$1,000 (around Rp. 11 million) by the Singapore court regarding the PRT gang fight that occurred near the MRT Paya Lebar station. The incident went viral on social media (Medsos) TikTok.

Siti Rukayah Kusni, a 48-year-old Indonesian citizen, pleaded guilty on Monday, January 27 on one charge of a fight between two hostile Indonesian PRT gangs.

The first Indonesian PRT gang, consisting of Sriani and Maesaroh, pleaded guilty in August and September 2024. Both were each sentenced to a fine of S$1,000. Sriani also lost her work permit after being found guilty.

Siti is the last of three women in a second PRT gang who pleaded guilty and received punishment. Two other PRT gang members, Sulastri and Nita Widia Rahayu, have each been fined S$1,000 in October 2024.

The incident of the PRT Indonesia gang fight took place on May 19, 2024 after Sriani uploaded a video on TikTok containing insults against Sulastri, which sparked tension between the two groups.

On the day of the incident, Sriani was found to have attended a party and consumed alcohol at around 11.00 p.m. He then fell asleep in Paya Lebar Square at 02.00 p.m.

Siti, along with her gang consisting of Sulastri, Nita, and others, was gathered at the Tanjong Katong Complex when Siti proposed to confront Sriani at Paya Lebar Square regarding TikTok's upload.

At around 14:40, they found Sriani sleeping. Sulastri then kicked her to wake her up. After that there was a fierce debate between the two gangs, the situation heated up until it ended in a fight.

This incident caught the attention of about 50 people who witnessed it.

Screenshots of videos posted on Facebook by Eunhee Elysium users about the fight went viral, expanding public attention to this incident.

A resident finally called the police, and the assistants were arrested. In the legal process, Siti was represented by the Nakorsha Law Corporation.

His lawyer requested that the S$1,000 fine be imposed, in accordance with the other defendants' sentences, given that there was no significant difference in Siti's role in the fight compared to other defendants.

The punishment for fights in Singapore such as the PRT Indonesia gang fight is a prison sentence of up to one year, a fine of up to S$5,000, or a combination of both.
