The yesterday of PAP in my late step grandpa generation is gone. These clowns enter politics primarily for their own personal gains. Only kumgong people votes for them and believes these greedy individuals are serving the people. Greed has no boundaries.

Still no news on whether the ministers got declare their extra curriculum activities at night.

It is basically depending on the leader.

During LKY leadership, almost no Minister and MP involved in recent cases of scandals. No Minister rent a GCB, dinner with criminals....etc

Temasek Foundation may be susceptible to money laundering, where high-profile donations and sponsorships enhance the image of money launderers wanting to get closer to state-affiliated entities. The absence of transparent checks transforms a governance issue into a national risk. While authorities claim tight oversight of Temasek, having the overseer socialising with Su Haijin raises serious questions indeed.

Since LHL took over, PAP is a different entity from the days of old. They are only interested in increasing their personal wealth with no regard to the welfare of the electrolate.

Not sure what is the problem here. PAP to it's credit has been very transparent that they will arse fucked coolie gene Sinkies 24/7. But it is Sinkies who continue to ask for it.

The current PAP leadership is no different from any corrupt Third World country, where the politicians are in office only to enrich themselves, at the expense of the people they promised to "serve".

Tycoon Sam Goi says dinners with Su Haijin, ministers complied with Covid-19 safe-distancing rules​

Local "popiah king" Sam Goi issued a statement to the media on May 9, giving further information on some photos circulating online.

SINGAPORE – Singapore tycoon Sam Goi has clarified that the private dinners involving Fujian gang member Su Haijin, who was later convicted of money laundering, and several Cabinet ministers had complied with safe-distancing rules to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Dubbed the “popiah king”, Mr Goi on May 9 issued a statement saying he wished to provide further information about some photos that have been circulated on social media of private dinners involving Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat, labour chief Ng Chee Meng, himself and others.

“I have checked my records,” said Mr Goi, the owner and executive chairman of Tee Yih Jia Food Manufacturing, one of the world’s largest popiah (spring roll) wrap producers.

“The dinner with minister Chee was held on Nov 19, 2020, the dinner with Mr Ng was held on May 1, 2021, and the dinner with minister Ong was held on May 10, 2022,” he said.

Mr Goi had earlier told Bloomberg News that the dinner involving Mr Ng took place “around 2020”.

“The group size on each occasion was in full compliance with the applicable Covid safe management measures at the material time,” he said on May 9.

At the time of the dinner with Mr Ng on May 1, 2021, for example, people were allowed to gather only in groups of eight.

The dinners were held at Tong Le Private Dining in OUE Tower, TungLok Signatures at Orchard Rendezvous Hotel and Teochew Restaurant Huat Kee in Orange Grove Road.

When asked, a spokesperson for Mr Goi did not say why Su had been invited to the private dinners.

Mr Ng, the secretary-general of the National Trades Union Congress, had said the dinner he was at took place some time back. He added in a statement on May 6, 2025, that he had no further interactions with Su after police investigations and criminal charges were brought against the man.

He said it is part of his work as labour chief to engage with different companies and private-sector leaders.

Also on May 6, the press secretaries of Mr Ong and Mr Chee said in a statement that the ministers do not know Su personally, and do not have any contact with him.

Their statement added: “As ministers, they meet a diverse range of people at various events and gatherings. They attended the dinners at the invitation of a friend, and Su happened to be there.”

Su faced 14 charges and was sentenced to 14 months in jail on April 4, 2024. The Cypriot national, who had been in remand since his arrest on Aug 15, 2023, was deported to Cambodia on May 28, 2024.

He was one of 10 people found guilty of being involved in a $3 billion money laundering case, which is one of Singapore’s largest.

Su was arrested following raids by the police’s Commercial Affairs Department at luxury homes across Singapore. While attempting to escape, he jumped off the balcony of the good class bungalow he was renting in Ewart Park, in Bukit Timah, and fractured his feet and wrist.

Mr Derek Goh, executive chairman and group chief executive of Serial System, a distributor of electronic components and consumer products, was also at the dinner on May 1, 2021, The Straits Times has learnt. He was with at least seven others, including Su, Mr Goi and Mr Ng.

Mr Goh told ST in a phone interview on May 7, 2025, that Mr Goi would “sometimes call us to have dinner and socialise”.

When asked, Mr Goh said he did not know why Su was at that dinner.

“It was just a social networking event. I just met them at the dinner,” he said.

“But if I had known then that Su was in the money laundering line, I would not have gone.”

Yes, the rich and the powerful have a mutually beneficial relationship. Come to think of it, the powerful are also rich! Though not as rich as the super rich.

Why is Ho Ching defending Sam Goi and the ministers vehemently?

"Everyone deserves second chance!" So she says.

Let's be clear. The Fujian gang is not just money laundering. There is human trafficking and online scams involved. from online news reports, the gang would hold people hostage and then force them to be perpetrators of online scams to cheat people of their life savings in Cambodia.

In Singapore we hang those who are in possession of small amounts of drugs the death sentence.

Compare what they did to the small drug mules (not even the war lords who likely don't get their own hands dirty).

Yet they got away with a few months in our local jail.

And did Sam Goi provide receipts and evidence to prove what he said? Show photos of the insides of these convicted criminals' houses please so we know the wine cellar is not in one of these big bungalows. Will the police and CPIB be thoroughly investigating is what I want to know..
