Police officers in Megan Khung case were "under pressure", leading to breach: MHA
The police officers who handled the fatal child abuse case of Megan Khung made mistakes as they were "under pressure" and failed to follow procedures. The government has said sorry to the social service agencies involved in the case, after its initial statement in April was perceived to have blamed them for lapses. Minister-in-charge of Social Services Integration, Desmond Lee, said there was no intention to point fingers. Social service agencies welcome new measures to support staff and establish clearer roles in the child protection service. Chloe Teo reports.
