SINGAPORE : Police have confirmed that a report has been lodged against the MP for Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency (GRC), Ms Tin Pei Ling, for allegedly violating "cooling-off day" guidelines.
The reply from police was given to Channel NewsAsia after it received information on Monday that a member of the public had filed a complaint against the MP.
On Polling Day, the National Solidarity Party's (NSP) Nicole Seah had approached the Elections Department about the matter, but Ms Seah was directed to channel her queries to the Police.
Channel NewsAsia understands the complaint about this issue now seems to have been made by a member of the public.
The complaint was over the posting on May 5, when Ms Tin's Facebook page carried a "clarification" on reports that a MacPherson resident had been refused help for her child's tuition fees.
The resident had asked for a refund, but on May 6, which was cooling-off day, netizens circulated a screen capture that showed a reply posted on Ms Tin's Facebook.
Ms Tin's facebook page clarification had said: "OooOoooOooh so that's what REALLY happened? Wow. I think tears in Parliament is worse than ANYTHING ELSE!"
The comment was however removed within 20 minutes.
When contacted, Ms Tin told Channel NewsAsia on cooling-off day that she was alerted to the comment when some of her friends called her shortly after it was posted.
Ms Tin had said she found out it was one of her administrators, Ms Denise He, who had mistakenly made the post.
She said she asked her administrator to remove the comment immediately.
Her administrators help to upload photos of her walkabouts on her Facebook page.
