Temasek says CAG chairman Liew Mun Leong contributed much to S'pore, cautions against jumping to judgment over case involving ex-maid

[in3deep]

SINGAPORE - Temasek said its senior international business adviser Liew Mun Leong has contributed to Singapore and its people, and his track record at various firms attests to that.

The investment firm's comments come days after the High Court acquitted Mr Liew's former Indonesian maid of theft, in a judgment that also raised questions about the motivation of Mr Liew and his family in lodging a police report against the maid.

Mr Liew is also the chairman of Changi Airport Group and Surbana Jurong.

Temasek International chief executive Dilhan Pillay Sandrasegara said on Tuesday (Sept 8): "There are many individuals who have contributed to both public service and to the private sector in Singapore for the benefit of Singapore and our population as a whole. (Mr Liew) is one of those persons, and his track record at CapitaLand, at Changi Airport Group, and at Surbana Jurong attest to that."

He was responding to questions from The Straits Times at a virtual media conference on Temasek's performance, and was asked whether Mr Liew's actions go against the company's values and whether it would be looking into the issue.

Mr Pillay said he would not comment further, citing ongoing proceedings on the case.

However, he said: "I think we should hear from Mr Liew on his side of the issue, and not come quick to judgment until we've heard all sides of things."

Mr Liew had declined to comment on the judgment when contacted by ST.

To prevent such incident, Co shld provide Maid service to all Top executives. High salaries prevent corruption, if Maid service provided by Co, surely Top executives will not take it out on Maid.

Temasek is a total disgrace.

High court judgment out and this is the response after 5 days?

Where is the proper ethics and morals?

 

[laksaboy]

They always defend their own kind.

Whatever he had contributed to Sinkieland is inconsequential when it comes to the case. Typical of a totalitarian shithole to obfuscate the issue.

Contribute to Singapore ? Did he do it for free ? Even if he did contribute to Singapore, that doesn’t mean he should be allowed scoot free if he did frame the maid!

 

[GoldenDragon]

LML is worse than a snake imo. Frame a maid just because she wanted to expose the Liews

So what if he did contribute to S’pore. For fuck sake, it wasn’t ‘pro bono.’ He was handsomely paid! Fucking Ah Neh from Temasek is talking cock. He’s a disgrace to his alma matar.

hanor, he was one of the highest paid (and handsomely at that) in the temasick stable apart from ah ching, even higher than dbs' gupta on accumulative basis due length of service. do the crime, then pay the time - handsomely!

Since this matter is still before the courts, wouldn't this count as interference?

Contempt of court/legal system?

 

[millim6868]

CB lah, think he do for free , all these kar ki lang blood sucker, all in the familee CB , uf like this also kelong no eye see

 

[millim6868]

This actually reminds ppl of during olden times , those rich ppl can frame n killed s person without getting sue or arrested cause they got connections n obscene wealth, look like we are living in china , going backwards when sg itself has declare a city woth fair judgement, jialat, think temasick n GLC should be rrmoved as too msny leeches.

So anyone who "contributed" to Singapore can now go out and commit crime ?

I thought this kind of low down underhand excuses only played by grassroots members who got caught for shoplifting offenses ?

 

[congo9]

Liew has contributed much, problem is that this Liew do not know how to avoid trouble and unwanted attention. Now they can just call in their lawyer and pay the maid to go back, never ever set foot in Singapore again.

This are members from elite club.
They will not says negative on this own kind.
I am surprised the court rule against a top civil servant.
Maybe because it's a involved a foreign country citizen that's why can't hide the wrong

Justice Chan is a dead man walking in Singapore Judiciary.....

It is not that he did not know. This type of behaviour has been his NEW NORMAL since being constantly praised by
the PM and wife. It is just another day in the office for him. He is well known for filing police reports all over the place.

 

[Loofydralb]

Actually the whole bunch of these elite treat their maids the same as the lying Liew idiots.
So they've figured out that it is better to protect LML before their own misdeeds are exposed and a raging wildfire engulfs all of them.
Greedy sick farkers all of them.

Many men in Singapore contributed 30 months NS and pay taxes every year, so can Singapore men commit criminal offence and exempted from being charged in Court

This is a massive own goal from Temasek. Ah Neh defending this Liew as if he is some saviour to all Sinkies.This fucker Liew didn't contribute anything to my life, so I don't owe him anything.

better investigate the police who handled the investigation too. How come the so called ‘stolen’ items were not under police custody as evidence?
