Do you know that Liew Mun Leong isn’t just the chairman of Changi Airport Group (CAG)?
Usually, people like him hold multiple directorships and chairmanship because they can supposedly make good decisions.
The 74-year-old is also the chairman of Surbana Jurong, a senior international business adviser at Singapore investment company Temasek and a board member of Temasek Foundation.
Today (10 September), the man finally responded to the entire saga…by stepping down from all the positions you’ve read earlier.
Liew Mun Leong Quits as Chairman of CAG
The reason why we use “CAG Chairman” instead of other positions in the headline is firstly to clickbait you in here.
Secondly, CAG is a B2C (business-to-consumer) business, so more people (us as consumers) know about the company.
Show me someone who knows what Surbana Jurong does and he or she might just show us an image of Josephine Teo instead.
The reason for his resignation?
He wanted to bring forward his retirement from these roles, saying, “I do not wish my current situation to be a distraction to their respective boards, management and staff, amidst their many critical priorities.”
He also said, “Those who know me will know I am passionate about the roles and missions of these organisations.”
And he’s ready to continue to assist and advise the organisations he’s stepped down from without compensation.
In his statement issued today, he also said that he will continue to provide full cooperation to both the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) and the police in their review of the case.
Why He has Made the Police Report
Mr Liew also explained why he had made the police report, saying, “When my family discovered some of our belongings in Ms Liyani’s boxes, I proceeded to make a police report the same afternoon I returned from overseas – because I genuinely believed that if there were suspicions of wrongdoing, it is our civic duty to report the matter to the police and let the authorities investigate accordingly.
“The police conducted their investigations. Ms Liyani was subsequently arrested by the police, and later, charged by the Public Prosecutor.
“Throughout the investigations and trial, my family members and I cooperated fully with the police and gave statements and evidence when required.”
In other words…
What Happened
If you’ve been living under a rock, here’s a recap of what happened:
Last year, an Indonesian foreign domestic worker was sentenced to 26 months’ jail after she was found guilty of stealing $34,000 worth of items from the Liew family.
It’s alleged that the family had made a police report to prevent her from making a complaint to MOM after the son allegedly got her to clean his office—which, by the way, is against the law as a domestic worker is a domestic worker, not an office cleaner.
Back in 2016, a person was jailed for seven weeks after framing her foreign domestic worker for theft. You can read all about it here:
