SINGAPORE – The authorities take very seriously the judge’s comments on the case of former domestic worker Parti Liyani, who was acquitted of stealing from Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong and his family, and will deal with what had gone wrong in the process of investigations, said Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam on Tuesday (Sept 8).
However, the minister cautioned against prejudging what part of the process had gone wrong, and said that the public should wait for the outcome of reviews that are now being conducted by the authorities.
Commenting on the reviews, Mr Shanmugam said: “In the process, we should not be defensive. It should not be a witch hunt. It’s got to be a fair process. We have to find out what happened, why it happened and then deal with it. And be accountable. That’s the best way to build trust in public, in the system. To come out in public and say what steps we have taken once the reviews are done.”
Mr Shanmugam, who was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a grassroots event, was asked for his comments on the case, which had sparked a public outcry.
