This comes after a recent decision by the High Court to acquit his former maid Parti Liyani of charges of stealing from his family."After much deliberation, I have decided to bring forward my retirement from the various public service and business roles with Changi Airport Group, Surbana Jurong, Temasek Foundation, and Temasek International with immediate effect," Mr Liew said in a statement to the media.

"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 that throughout the investigations and trial, he and his family members had cooperated fully with the police.

"The High Court has made its decision. I have faith in our legal system and respect the decision of the High Court," Mr Liew said.I understand that both the Attorney’s General Chambers and the police are now conducting reviews of the matter. Should it be required, my family and I will continue to provide full cooperation to both AGC and the police."She was acquitted by the High Court last week of all charges.
