ST: Chief Justice grants leave to probe DPPs for misconduct in former maid Parti Liyani case

SINGAPORE – The Chief Justice has given the go-ahead for investigations into two Deputy Public Prosecutors to commence, following a misconduct complaint by former domestic helper Parti Liyani.

DPP Tan Yanying and DPP Tan Wee Hao handled Ms Parti’s theft trial in which she was accused of stealing $34,000 worth of items from her former employer, Mr Liew Mun Leong, who was the ex-chairman of Changi Airport Group.

The charge alleged that the 46-year-old Indonesian had stolen, among other things, a Pioneer DVD player. On appeal to the High Court, the DVD player was found to be faulty, and she was acquitted of all charges.
