内政暨律政部长尚穆根坦言,警方在处理前女佣巴蒂案中存在疏失。廖文良一家报案后,理应第一时间就前往查看物证,但办案警员却没有这么做。 巴蒂是在2016年10月28日被解雇,雇主廖文良儿子廖启龙,给他箱子限他两小时内收拾东西,当天即送返印尼。不料廖文良父子却在两日后报警,指巴蒂盗窃。 然而吊诡当时,迟至2016年12月3日,也就是廖文良报警五周后,才前往廖家取证。据了解是因为负责警员“工作忙碌和私人原因”。这段期间,廖家仍能继续使用这些物证。尚穆根称,这已违反法律要求的办案程序,也没能确保证据的完整、进行适当的记录。 尚穆根指涉事警员已被内部调查,并采取必要行动,惟未透露是否对其作出惩处。 对于高庭指责,警方在庭上向巴蒂展示的物证照片是黑白照、警方录取口供也出现文法错误,尚穆根指警方已接受高庭的建议。

今日(4日),内政暨律政部长尚穆根,将在国会针对前女佣巴蒂案发表部长声明,说明此案的经过、调查和检控过程是否受到任何影响等。 与此同时,前女佣巴蒂也透过本地客工组织情义之家(HOME ),在今早针对部分来自东陵警署数名警员的行为,发表声明。声明翻译如下: 2020年11月4日 在2020年7月3日,我针对东陵警署数名警员提交投诉。针对他们在调查和审讯我的过程之行为,我要求新加坡警察部队内部事务处(Singapore Police Force Internal Affairs Office),展开调查。我的投诉涉及以下事项: 证据有可能遭篡改,以便让我在法庭上显得不诚实。在交叉盘问时,当副检察官(DPP)要求警员交给我涉案的Gerald Genta手表,我的律师观察到手表在警员手上时,对方开始摇动手表。之后我被质询有关手表是否能运作。当时手表在庭中传递,指针还会走动。在复问(re-examination)时我的律师特别要求,警员别再摇动手表,手表指针才静止不动。 向我录了四次口供,都没有印尼语的传译员。录供时我也不被获准亲眼检视那些被指遭窃的物品。 在取证上出现延缓,那些用以指控我的证据之可信度引起关注。 调查官向犯罪现场专家发出错误指示,对于所谓三箱被窃物品的描述存有谬误 对于以上事项提及的警员行为之检讨,我仍静待当局提供实质的更新信息。 我很欣慰涉及我官司的各单位,已表明有意纠正在此案中涉及的问题,并有意改善刑事司法机制。这也是我向警员提出投诉,以及对副检察官行为提出检讨的用意。发生在我身上的事,也可能发生在其他处于弱势的人士身上。我期许依据我提出的投诉,能有助更透明和全面地解决更广泛的问题,并改善刑事司法制度对于众人的公正。 巴蒂莉雅妮 敬启
