Liew Mun Leong, the Changi Airport Group chairman, who is at the forefront of newspaper headlines and forum discussions over the recent case of his former maid, Ms Parti Liyani, being acquited of all charges, has announced on September 10 that he will be retiring from his various roles in both the public and business sector.
His sudden retirement comes in the wake of the High Court acquiting his former domestic helper of all charges of stealing from his family.
The Liew family accused Parti of theft back in 2016.
He said in a statement to the media:
“After much deliberation, I have decided to bring forward my retirement from the various public service and business roles with Changi Airport Group, Surbana Jurong, Temasek Foundation, and Temasek International with immediate effect.”
“Those who know me, will know I am passionate about the roles and missions of these organisations. I do not wish my current situation to be a distraction to their respective boards, management and staff, amidst their many critical priorities.”
“The High Court has made its decision. I have faith in our legal system and respect the decision of the High Court.”
“I understand that both the Attorney’s General Chambers (AGC) and the police are now conducting reviews of the matter. Should it be required, my family and I will continue to provide full cooperation to both AGC and the police.”
