Acquittal of Liew Mun Leong's former maid prompts AGC to look further into case
Singapore
THE Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) is studying whether any further action is needed following the acquittal of Parti Liyani - the Indonesian maid whom corporate bigwig Liew Mun Leong and members of his family falsely accused of stealing items from their homes.
High Court Judge Chan Seng Onn, who issued a 100-page judgment on his decision to acquit Ms Parti, said there was reason to believe the Liew family took the pre-emptive step to fire Ms Parti suddenly and without giving her sufficient time to pack, in the hope that it would deprive her of the time to make a complaint to MOM about her illegal deployment to work for Mr Liew's son Karl.
