Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong on Thursday (10 September) said that he is retiring from his various public service and business roles with immediate effect.

The announcement comes after Liew’s former domestic helper Parti Liyani was acquitted of all four theft charges. Parti had been convicted and sentenced to 26 months’ jail over stealing items worth more than $34,000 from Liew’s household, following a police report made by Liew in 2016.

“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,” he added. “The High Court has made its decision. I have faith in our legal system and respect the decision of the High Court,” he added.

Liew spoke briefly about the events leading to the case in his statement, noting that he proceeded to make a police report the same afternoon he returned from overseas in 2016, when his family discovered some of their belongings in Parti’s boxes.
