The honourable thing to do right now I feel is for PM Lee to step aside, hand to Lawrence, and hold early election. Start everyone on a clean slate and sweep out all the bad actors.

Otherwise if they keep kena scandal after scandal, their position will become untenable.

Wah, where can TCJ go? From minister demoted to speaker.

Maybe join his comrade TCM at NTUC. 🤣

Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin, MP Cheng Li Hui resign over matters relating to 'propriety and personal conduct'

SINGAPORE: Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin and Member of Parliament Cheng Li Hui have resigned from both parliament and the People's Action Party. 

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has accepted both their resignations, said the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Monday (Jul 17). 

Read the statements in full:

Statement by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin's Resignation

Speaker Tan Chuan‐Jin resigned today as Speaker, as Member of Parliament, and also as a member of the People’s Action Party.

I have accepted Mr Tan’s resignation from the People’s Action Party. His resignation is necessary, to maintain the high standards of propriety and personal conduct which the PAP has upheld all these years. My exchange of letters with him is attached.

I thank Mr Tan for having been a member of my team, and wish him and his family all the best in his next phase of life.

In place of Mr Tan, Mr Edwin Tong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, Second Minister for Law and MP for Marine Parade GRC will take care of the residents in Kembangan‐Chai Chee ward in Marine Parade GRC.

Statement by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Member of Parliament Cheng Li Hui's resignation

Member of Parliament for Tampines East and Tampines GRC Cheng Li Hui resigned today as Member of Parliament, and also as a member of the People’s Action Party.

I have accepted Ms Cheng’s resignation from the People’s Action Party. Her resignation is necessary, to maintain the high standards of propriety and personal conduct which the PAP has upheld all these years. My exchange of letters with her is attached.

In place of Ms Cheng, Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for Social and Family Development, Second Minister for Health and MP for Tampines GRC will take care of the residents in Tampines East ward in Tampines GRC.

This can be interpreted both ways..  but probably the way many people thinking. 🤔

Else,  it would be pretty silly and highly insensitive to put them together this way. The WP thingy only makes it more suspicious.

[Freeder]

Current Economy no good and we paid all these ministars to perform monkey business.. Sinkies really kanna short changed 9696.. WTF..

[Didu]

I feel that there could be more reasons than what was stated in TCJ's resignation letter.   

[Daniu82]

So now how many GRCs short of MPs? West Coast, Marine Parade and Tampines? Xiao Long's head must be very big now.

I think Ah Loong needs to extend his stay to steady the ship again because he lost 3 key members in the team!
