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.
