An Indonesian domestic worker was reported to have received an inheritance of up to 1 million Singapore dollars following the death of her employer in the "Lion City." The worker had served her employer, Khoo Guat Neo—a former primary school principal in Singapore—for 13 years. Khoo passed away at the age of 92; she was single and lived in a house on Pelatina St, near the Upper Thomson Road area of ​​Singapore. In her will, Khoo bequeathed approximately 1 million Singapore dollars to the Indonesian domestic worker—a sum equivalent to about one-third of Khoo's total estate. This inheritance amounts to roughly IDR 8 billion; however, based on the exchange rate around September 3, 2026, the value would reach approximately IDR 13.9 billion.[1]

Although the domestic worker's identity was not disclosed in newspaper reports, she returned to Indonesia after Khoo's death. She later came back to Singapore in late October 2013 to claim the inheritance left by her employer. Remembered as a good worker, the relationship between Khoo and the Indonesian domestic worker appeared to go beyond the standard employer-employee dynamic; according to one of Khoo's neighbors, the worker had received praise from Khoo. While the worker's identity remains undisclosed, the closeness and trust built over their 13 years of working together stand out as a compelling aspect of the story.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
