Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Monday (Jul 17) that the "inappropriate relationship" between Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin and People's Action Party MP Cheng Li Hui would have come to light "probably sooner rather than later", but that Mr Tan's recent hot-mic incident in parliament "precipitated the moment".

Mr Lee added that he first came to know of the relationship after the last general election in 2020, and had last spoken to them about the matter in February 2023, but that they had continued the relationship even after being told to stop. Read more: https://cna.asia/44xVnlR

Omg another happiness for PS and co here. So after yellow card, red card still can continue playing. We have a new standard now. All the adulterers in parliament must thank TCJ. So after you are found out, and then found out again, you are fine, just don’t make another mistake, especially don’t use forking populist.

SINGAPORE: Former Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin had been in an “inappropriate relationship” with fellow People’s Action Party (PAP) Member of Parliament Cheng Li Hui, which continued even after they were asked to stop, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday (Jul 17). Mr Tan and Ms Cheng resigned from parliament and the PAP earlier on Monday.

In opening remarks a press conference held the same day, Mr Lee said he had spoken to Mr Tan about this relationship most recently in February. The latter admitted his mistake and offered his resignation at the time.
“I had accepted his resignation,” said Mr Lee. “But I told him, first, I needed to make sure the residents of Kembangan-Chai Chee and Marine Parade continued to be taken care of.
“Meanwhile his relationship with Ms Cheng had to stop.”
But “very recently”, Mr Lee came across information that “strongly suggested” that Mr Tan and Ms Cheng’s relationship had continued.
“I decided then that Mr Tan had to go forthwith, whether or not the arrangements were ready. It could not wait any longer.”


Around the same time, the video clip of Mr Tan caught on a hot mic using unparliamentary language was circulating.
“I asked to see him," said Mr Lee. "During our discussion, he agreed to leave immediately - both for his unparliamentary conduct as well as his inappropriate relationship with Ms Cheng, which he had told me he would break off but he did not.”
Their inappropriate relationship was a “more serious matter” than Mr Tan’s unparliamentary language because he was the Speaker of Parliament and Ms Cheng was a Member of Parliament, said the Prime Minister.
“There should not have been a relationship,” he added.
Ms Cheng had also been counselled by Mr Lee in February, but "nevertheless ... continued the relationship with Mr Tan".


“It saddens me to discover that these two PAP MPs have fallen short of the high standard of propriety and personal conduct that we expect from all PAP MPs,” said Mr Lee.
“When such a situation arises, it is my duty as secretary general of the party to deal with them and put things right. This means to counsel, to correct, to admonish, and ultimately, if necessary, to remove the MP from the party and parliament.
“It is painful to do this to our friends and comrades-in-arms, and it can also be politically embarrassing and costly. But the PAP has to maintain party discipline and standard of conduct. Our duty is to parliament and the people of Singapore, and that is paramount.”

well; the article speaks for itself really.
Here comes d good part.

Means cfm both hv affair? Means if stop d rs still can remain is it? When cfm both r immoral Liao!

Finally free agents
He suay lah…

Gets involved with a single…

she won’t let go one lah…

desperadoes won’t give up…

He destroys his family, his wife and worst of all his innocent kids who will be impacted negatively for life all for one unworthy lustful woman..,

I met TCJ when he was campaigning at Haig road FC and he shared that his wife is a music teacher…

Hope she will stay strong and keeps her sanity to make the right decision.

My gut feel is he will ask for divorce since he couldn’t end it for a few years meant he is for real with the *****
