Former Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) Calvin Cheng said Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Faishal Ibrahim should not have resigned from political office.

Commenting on the resignation, which broke on July 20, Cheng wrote in a Facebook post: “There wasn’t even any physical interaction, much less an affair.”

The post has since garnered over 200 comments.


In a separate post, Cheng also questioned whether a by-election should be called, noting that Faishal was the minority candidate in Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC and that the GRC system was introduced to ensure minority representation.

‘There wasn’t even any physical interaction’: Cheng​

Explaining why he believes Faishal should not have resigned, Cheng described him as a “great guy, the friendliest, most amiable person you can ever meet.”
 
No physical interaction? What the fuck is it then?

Don’t tell me it’s like some 90s cybersex shit. Lol imagine losing your million dollar job over something like that.
