Our home media trying to play down this case as just wrong assigments for domestic helper here! but there MORE than this !

what about the botched investigations by the police and its wrongful enforcements?

what about the double-class jurisdical systems?

what about the elititistic socialiasm encasted in our democratic country and worse . . . . well endorsed by our leadserships that 'cahoots' rather than conspiracy theory?

what about the favourism exercised by our government agencies and biaiseness in its executions?

of coz, its very easy to deflect and lead everyone as per press article above where this malpractises are seamlessly dragging every FDW employers into the pictures.

but the isolation from all is what built such society like this? social eliticisms or hypocrites? leaderships or tyrants? democracy or classifications

Ah ha ha ha ha! :roflmao:

Sinkieland is a totalitarian shithole, held hostage by the Familee and its coterie of loyalists. The judiciary is not worth a fuck, you might even get a fairer trial in China.

What did you expect? :cool:
 
shameless and shameful Singapore media trying to paint the picture that it is perfectly fine to ask domestic helpers to work for multiple houses.

Best written pieces ...

Masterful , only avail on SBF :smile::thumbsup:


SBF , Kansia :thumbsup:
 
I truly agree with you! this is especially where I had experienced how injustice was passed in the ruling court when the master think its not worth even a minute for defence capability! he/she just passed teh law according to his/her speculations! YES, speculations!.... just becoz he/she rubbed shoulders with the elitism to obtain his/her honourbly title does not mean he/she is above the rest!

many think our jury court is there to put justice!??? here, this court becomes tool for the rich & powerful!

there were countless cases where court just passed cases WITHOUT proper exmaninations at all, just go-thru-motion or hush-hush formality within few minutes!
and when the concerns (educated speaking in english) started doubts, queries or question . . . he/she will be dealt with contempt of court with another slap on the face.
yes, this is how court behaves even for the most trivial cases!
no jury trial in sg lah.

Parti Liyani and Liew Mun Leong: Is the whole Singapore elite itself on trial?


Sense And Nonsense by Tan Bah Bah



/


There should rightly have been only one issue arising out of the Parti Liyani case. Has justice been served? But because it appears, in the court of raging public opinion, more like a Liew Mun Leong/PAP elite case, the jury may be out for some time to come.

Has justice been served – for the Indonesian maid, at least? Maybe in more ways than one. “The (High Court) judge’s judgment goes through the facts very carefully. It sets out what the break in the chain of evidence is, and in that way, it is good to see that justice is both blind and that justice has been delivered,” Law Minister K Shanmugam said. Sure.

And kudos to Anil Balchandani, the pro bono defence counsel who earned the Law Minister’s praise. “He did a thorough and good job of it. That is a lawyer’s job. To be thorough, to be clear, to put forward everything fairly to the court,” said Shanmugam. “Based on what I have heard, I think he ought to be commended.” So he should be.

Parti, 46, was sentenced to more than two years’ jail in March 2019 after being found guilty of four charges of stealing about S$34,000 worth of items from then Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong’s family. She had her convictions overturned in the High Court on September 4, after her appeal was allowed. Four days later, she was given a discharge amounting to an acquittal for a fifth charge.

Justice Chan Seng Onn raised several reasons for Parti’s acquittal, including the “existence of an improper motive” by the Liew family, the break in chain of custody of evidence, and issues with the way the police had handled the case.

Mothership.sg rightly described the whole saga as a David-versus-Goliath battle. The result has been literally and truly remarkable. Defence got acquittal and, as a consequence, the fall of a very powerful member of the Singapore establishment.

Liew has stepped down as chairman of Changi Airport Group and Surbana Jurong. He has also resigned from his positions as senior international business adviser at Singapore investment company Temasek and as a board member of Temasek Foundation. Liew, 74, said on September 10 that he had decided to bring forward his retirement from these roles.

Hence, not only has justice been served. This case must also have given tremendous encouragement to others in similar situations to have greater faith in the system and to never give up. Of course, there were many what ifs. What if the maid had not been wanted to fight, prove her innocence and clear her name. What if there were no Anil Balchandani and no Chan Seng Onn. What if Parti had not got the help and support of people from the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME).
Balchandani: “We were up against a very tenacious set of prosecutors, we also were up against a very prominent family and we didn’t have a, you know, robust defence.
“And what I mean by that is that we didn’t have a defence that was based on photographs that Parti had taken. In fact one of the downsides of our case is Parti as a person just never really took a lot of photographs of herself to identify, look I had these items, I bought these items.”

The awful reality of it all is that there may well be many other such cases which have gone unreported because domestic workers are a vulnerable group and more likely to suffer in silence. The publicity generated by Parti’s success will send a strong message to employers to treat their maids with proper respect and to protect and not bully them.

Meanwhile, the David-and-Goliath image has somehow been extrapolated into a people-versus-PAP cronies PR problem.
Not a small number of Singaporeans rightly or wrongly, fairly or unfairly – judging from reactions – see the likes of Liew Mun Leong as representative of an allegedly self-entitled, self-serving elite who seem to see themselves as untouchable. They regard the Parti case as not just an exception but more a symptom of a potential rot that those in power for too long cannot be expected to self-diagnose and self-correct.

“In my judgment, there is reason to believe that the Liew family, upon realising her unhappiness, took the pre-emptive first step to terminate her employment suddenly without giving her sufficient time to pack, in the hope that Ms Parti would not use the time to make a complaint to MOM,” said High Court Judge Chan.
“Once she made express her desire to complain to MOM after her sudden termination on Oct 28, 2016, the Liew family followed up with the police report to ensure her return would be prevented.”

To quote Shanmugam once again: “The judge’s comments, we take them very seriously. Something has gone wrong in the chain of events. We have to look at that, and deal with what went wrong.”

He could well have been describing the state of the Singapore establishment.

Liew Mun Leong is a 'business tycoon'? LOL, you've truly outdone yourself, 158th. :roflmao:
He was not a business tycoon, because he did not start and operate his own business. He was a civil servant who later managed a government linked corporation.

His job was handed over on a platinum platter, his candidacy preferred over a much more experienced DBS Land CEO Han Cheng Fong.
He did not even put his own money down. Such is the intellectual hypocrisy of the Shitty Times.

No hypocrisy... just the true nature of state-owned propaganda. Gaslighting the readers.
 
How difficult is it to acquire private land via the Land Acquisition Act and then sell them at prevailing market prices to make a profit ?

Even a blind man with no legs can see better and run faster than Liew Mun Leong.
 
So, a retired 76-year old engineer from PUB is the acting chairman of CAG.
Liew is 74. Where is the succession plan. Which world class organisation
(even if ownself praise ownself) does not even have a succession plan?
Now, what, "global search" for someone, to find later only that the
person was actually found from another MIW's elite.
These greedy farkers like LML pay lip service to 'develop people', but in fact purposefully ignore the need to train their successor so that they are indispensable.
Its all about the money and faking a show built upon the backs of bullied subordinates.
