SINGAPORE – The family of the two-year-old girl who was allegedly killed by her parents – and whose remains were found in a pot in a Chin Swee Road flat – had told social workers and staff from government agencies that she was being looked after by relatives.
Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for Social and Family Development, said in a parliamentary reply released on Monday night (Oct 7): “Based on what the family members had said at that time, and the interactions that the family had with the different agencies, the officers and social workers did not suspect that the child had gone missing or had come to any harm.
“A two-year-old child will generally have no interaction, on a regular basis, with agencies.”
Mr Lee said that more details of the case will be given in court, adding that what the family members said and did in their interactions with each of the different groups over the years is relevant to ongoing investigations and criminal proceedings. Hence, he cannot go into specific details.
