Miss Parti Liyani kept her trials and tribulations from her family for the past four years, not wanting them to be worried.

She only apologised for not remitting money home.

The former maid was accused of stealing from Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong and his family. Yesterday, the 46-year-old Indonesian woman from East Java was acquitted in the High Court of stealing over $34,000 worth of items.

Later in the evening, she said she felt no ill will towards the Liew family. Speaking via Zoom, through a translator, she said: “I forgive my employer. I just wish to tell them not to do the same thing to other workers.”

Miss Parti and her lawyer, Mr Anil Balchandani, who is acting pro bono, plan to request compensation from the Liew family that will be tied largely to four years of her pay, which was $600 a month.

Her lawyer said: “Whatever the amount we get, I think we will be necessarily grateful for.”
