Liew Mun Leong Billion Dollars Temasek Reputation Has Been Rubbished

No thanks to PAP.
More like thanks to individuals like the pro bono lawyer and the NGO who backed and believed in this maid even after the DC found her guilty.
HC justice Chan SO also must be given credit for doing an excellent job. But then again this has nothing to do with PAP.
Then get that new second MOM minister Tan See Leng to do something. He is getting a big fat pay but so far fails to impress.
This one I think because LML' s wife probably the employer listed in MOM and not LML himself.See? MoM issued advisory/caution against Mrs. Liew and Karl Liew, but not to LML himself.
Police, Manpower Ministry looking into case of ex-maid acquitted of stealing from CAG chief in light of judge's comments

SINGAPORE - Both the Ministry of Manpower and the police are looking into the case of a former domestic worker acquitted of stealing from Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong and his family.
In a statement on Sunday (Sept 6), MOM said that it is in consultation with the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) as to whether further action, if any, ought to be taken following comments by the judge, Justice Chan Seng Onn.
The police also said on Sunday night that they would be looking into several observations of police investigations made by Justice Chan in his 100-page judgment on the case.
While the statement by police did not elaborate on what these observations were, Justice Chan had found that there was a break in the chain of custody of evidence, creating reasonable doubt as to whether some of the allegedly stolen items discovered by the family were accurately documented by the photographs taken by the police some five weeks later.
During this period, the family were told by the police that they were free to use the items. They took and put back items into the boxes but it is not clear if the items that were put back were the same ones removed earlier.
Justice Chan also found that two statements were taken from the former maid, Ms Parti Liyani, without an interpreter.
"Several observations about police's investigations have been raised," said the police in its statement. "The police are looking into them."
Meanwhile, MOM also explained how it had dealt with Ms Parti's complaint that she had been asked to work at the home and office of Mr Liew's son.
In October 2017, Ms Parti made a report of illegal deployment by Mr Liew's wife to their son Mr Karl Liew's residence between September and October 2016, and to his office around 2012 and 2013.
MOM investigated her complaint and found that this had happened on different occasions, it said.
"At the conclusion of the investigation in May 2018, the Ministry issued a caution to Mrs Liew and an advisory to Mr Karl Liew. The issuing of a caution, on these facts, is consistent with the approach taken in other similar cases," it said.
Ms Parti, 46, who worked for the Liew family from 2007 to 2016, was accused of stealing over $34,000 worth of items from them.
After a trial, she was found guilty on four counts of theft and sentenced to two years and two months' jail in March last year.
She appealed to the High Court against her conviction and sentence, and was acquitted last Friday.
The statements from MOM and the police come after the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) said earlier on Sunday that it would be studying Justice Chan's judgment to assess what further action, if any, ought to be taken in the case.
"His findings do raise questions which warrant further investigations," the AGC said.
That said I think MOM did not appear to look to closely into this matter. On the face of it, stinks of PAP elite gaming the system at play.
hanor, especially against the recent adulation of lml being cast as an astute mgmt. guru and the sudden backlash by the pressitudes and being thrown under the bus. many are wondering if there's anything to do with the "pally" relationship that lml had / has with lhy when both were heading caas and cag respectively. let the games begin!
An honest mistake. Let's move on.
This is a scary country.

POLICE REPORT FILED AGAINST MAID’S LAWYER
During a virtual press conference on Friday, Ms Parti’s lawyer, Mr Anil Balchandan, revealed that he and his assistant have had police reports filed against them by the Liew family, accusing them of harassment, while they worked on Ms Parti’s case.
The lawyer said this was because he and his assistant had contacted the family’s driver and Mr Liew’s wife — individuals who were not witnesses for the prosecution — for interviews.
Mr Balchandani said the accusations hung over him and his assistant for over a year before the police investigation concluded that they did not commit any offence.
TODAY has sent the police a query regarding the investigations into Mr Balchandani.
Adding to the difficulties was how he received court-related documents very late. For example, photographs of items Ms Parti was accused of stealing were only given to him on the first day of the trial, according to the lawyer.
Given that she was accused of stealing 144 items, Mr Balchandani said it was an “enormous task” having to analyse the photographs, as well as a 21-second video that was submitted as evidence.
Ms Parti still faces a fifth charge of fraudulently possessing other alleged stolen items owned by unidentified individuals and her lawyer said they are ready for it.

looks like a case of miscarriage of justice to me
possibly abuse of power as well
and bullying by elites over peasants
This muthefarker John Tan and PAP always very quick to claim credit.KNNCCB to the PAP rich elite cronies.
Hope he doesn't get transferred or demoted soon.
One thing I would not be surprised... would be Calvin cross dressing
If you are given unlimited ahgong money to develop property in Singapore, you must be some kind of special to not make money.
Sounds like Donald Trump, lol!
LML was PAP elite but that's about it. He ain't at the very top of the power pyramid in Singapore. So nothing is going to happen to this judge, especially since he appears to have done the right and just thing.
How come law minister and home affairs minister Shan suddenly so quiet? Normally he is quick off the bat when such controversial matters arise.
Police and AG's chambers need to explain.
Same goes for MOM.
For starters, we should hear from
The Police Commissioner. Not Home Ministry. And definitely not from a statement via FB.
He should call a press conference and be prepared to take questions from the media.
