Parti Liyani considering dropping application against prosecutors involved in her case

SINGAPORE — The maid who has filed an application against the two prosecutors involved in her court case is considering dropping the matter, the Chief Justice said on Thursday (1 October).
Parti Liyani has been overwhelmed by events in the past month and has been away from Indonesia for the last four years, according to her lawyer Anil Balchandani.
Her wish to return to her home country as soon as possible is one of the reasons she initially considered withdrawing her legal action against the two Deputy Public Prosecutors (DPPs) who handled her criminal case, Balchandani told Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon. The two DPPs are Tan Wee Hao and Tan Yanying.
Last month, Parti was acquitted by the High Court of stealing $34,000 worth of items from Liew. This came after she was initially convicted in a lower court. In Justice Chan Seng Onn's judgment on her acquittal, he highlighted several issues with the conviction findings and how the case was handled.
On Thursday, the CJ heard representatives from the Attorney-General’s Chambers and Balchandani in an in-chambers hearing regarding the application under S82A of the Legal Profession Act, which sought to have the DPPs investigated before a Disciplinary Tribunal, and an application on behalf of the DPPs to have certain material put before the CJ.
This was when the CJ was informed that Parti was considering dropping her suit against the DPPs.
“However, his client evidently also believes that the DPPs should answer the allegations she has raised in her affidavit and is altogether somewhat torn between the various competing considerations,” CJ Menon said in grounds of decision issued on Thursday. Balchandani asked for the matter to be adjourned for two weeks to allow Parti to reach a final decision on whether to proceed.
The CJ granted the application and allowed Balchandani to inform him by letter of Parti’s position within the next two weeks.
“This seems especially sensible because under the Legal Profession (Disciplinary Tribunal) Rules, the applicant would likely have to appoint counsel to prosecute the matter; and as I explained to Mr Balchandani, that might necessitate some steps being taken if Mr Balchandani himself were likely to be a witness in the proceedings,” the CJ said.
In the same hearing on Thursday afternoon, State Counsel for the AGC Kristy Tan, informed the CJ that the two DPPs will not object to his referring the matter to the Disciplinary Tribunal for investigation.
This would give the DPPs an opportunity to present their account of what transpired and to explain themselves fully.
The CJ noted that while this was an appropriate course of actions, it would be appropriate to grant the adjournment before making any orders.

Lawyer get $5 mil. Parti get $500k.
Muslims easily bribed. Don't need much money.
I have no doubt that this issue was settled behind closed doors to spare the PAP of further embarrassment. Just imagine the errant prosecution team , the elite civil servants of the State kena found guilty of all the charges. It probably won't look good for Black Mamba Shan.
Parti able to open 100 Nasi Ayam penyet stalls throughout Indonesia with that amount of money.
And the lawyer, twice that number of buryiany stalls in India.

SINGAPORE: Workers' Party (WP) chair and Aljunied Member of Parliament (MP) Sylvia Lim will not seek any further ballot of the adjournment motion she filed to speak about issues raised by the recent acquittal of former maid Parti Liyani when Parliament sits in October.
Instead, WP will "coincide its contribution" to the debate with the ministerial statement to be made by Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam in Parliament in November, the party said on Friday (Oct 3).
"Appreciating the premium on Parliament's time, WP will coincide its contribution to the debate with the ministerial statement as far as practicable," the party said in a statement posted on Facebook.
"WP Chair MP Sylvia Lim will therefore not seek any further ballot in October of the adjournment motion filed by her," the party said.
Ms Lim's motion to speak about enhancing equity in the criminal justice system was not selected in a random ballot held on Tuesday.
Earlier on Friday, Mr Shanmugam said he would make a ministerial statement in Parliament next month to address questions raised about Ms Parti's case.
Mr Shanmugam said he would speak in Parliament after the reviews by the police and the Attorney-General's Chambers – expected to conclude in "two to three weeks' time" – have been completed.

On Friday, WP noted that internal reviews "into the handling of Ms Parti Liyani's case still require a few more weeks to conclude".
While the reviews are ongoing, the case has highlighted "wider questions" about the criminal justice system, said the party. That includes "appropriate approaches to take to diagnose and respond to any shortcomings".
"The strong public interest in the case, and in the underlying issue of access to justice for all, bodes well for a critical public discussion on how the poor and disadvantaged can adequately navigate the criminal justice system," said WP.

Ms Parti, who worked as a maid for former chairman of Changi Airport Group Liew Mun Leong, was convicted in March 2019 by a lower court of stealing S$34,000 worth of items from Mr Liew and his family.
A High Court judge cleared Ms Parti of all charges last month, outlining several issues with the conviction findings and how the case was handled.
Ms Parti has applied via her lawyer Anil Balchandani for a disciplinary tribunal to be set up. She is accusing Deputy Public Prosecutors Tan Yanying and Tan Wee Hao of misconduct in handling her trial.
READ: Parti Liyani's case against prosecutors adjourned while she decides if she wants to drop it
On Thursday, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon granted Ms Parti two weeks to reconsider her application for the investigation into alleged misconduct by the two prosecutors, after she expressed some doubts about pursuing it.
Ms Parti wanted to be able to return home to Indonesia "as soon as conveniently possible", and initially considered withdrawing her application to investigate the prosecutors' conduct.
However, she "evidently also believes that the DPPs should answer the allegations she has raised in her affidavit and is altogether somewhat torn between the various competing considerations", said the Chief Justice in explaining his decision to adjourn the case.
