SINGAPORE — Mr Leong Mun Wai of the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) has apologised for the social media posts he published that was said to have “impugned” Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin and the processes of Parliament.
The Non-Constituency Member of Parliament’s apology came at the end of parliamentary proceedings on Tuesday (March 8) evening. This was hours after Mr Zaqy Mohamad, Deputy Leader of the House, urged Mr Leong to apologise by the end of the day.
Mr Leong said in his apology that it was not his intention to impugn either Mr Tan or the parliamentary processes.
Instead, he was trying to highlight through his social media posts that “some amount of discretion and flexibility with the standing orders will go a long way in enhancing our discussion in this House”.
He also explained that he was hoping to ask Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng a “very important point” about the displacement of Singaporean professionals, managers, executives and technicians on Monday.
“But today, I would like to sincerely and unreservedly apologise to the Speaker and this House for my Facebook comments… in which I impugned the Speaker and the processes of Parliament.”
