Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.

Both the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the police are looking into the case of a former domestic worker acquitted of stealing from Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong and his family. Liew, 74, stepped down from his post after an announcement in a statement on Sept 10, to bring forward his retirement from the role.

In a statement on Sunday (Sept 6), MOM said that it is in consultation with the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) as to whether further action, if any, ought to be taken following comments by the judge, Justice Chan Seng Onn.
