Mr Sin Kek Tong, Chairman of the Singapore People's Party

According to Singapore People’s Party (SPP) Chairman Mr Sin Kek Tong, Member of Parliament for Potong Pasir Mr Chiam See Tong has under-contributed to SPP funds for 13 years already.

The SPP constitution requires every SPP MP to contribute 10% of his MP allowance to the party. Mr Chiam’s short-fall amounts to at least S$130,000.

“Although Mr Chiam has made numerous contributions over the years, he still has to adhere to the party constitution. Our party constitution is very clear on this,” said Mr Sin.

He also added for the past 13 years, Mr Chiam has only contributed S$500 per month from his MP allowance. This amounts to annual contribution of S$6,000.

Mr Sin said that it is only natural for MPs to contribute funds to their own political party. He said that the People Action Party (PAP) MPs also do this.

Mr Lau Ping Sum, Executive Director of the PAP, confirms this. Every PAP MP contributes S$1,800 a month to the PAP which is equivalent to 13% of his MP allowance while PAP Ministers contribute a much higher quantum to the party fund.

However, Mr Lau stressed that the PAP did not make this a compulsory contribution.

Workers’ Party (WP) Chairman Sylvia Lim also said that WP does not compel its elected MPs to contribute to the party fund.

U would think, the opposition party would want to avoid something stupid like this when it's so close to the next election. What the hell was that guy thinking

Controversy creates more attention. He dont dare talk about PAP cos scared defamtion suit.

Chiam is easy target.

 

[BuiKia]

Well, the easiest way to climb is to dig up people's wrong doings.

SPP should be paying CST for being the parliament.

He is a boost to this loser party

 

[cathylmg]

Ohh no! When are they going to wise up? Election is around the corner and these monkeys are still fighting among themselves? They should go pick on someone bigger size to play with. Leave Chiam alone!

 

[Lestat]

These folks really believe that the citizens voted for their political parties for whatever reason other than the front man?

They probably do not realize that if Chiam, Low, Chee, Lim decide to retire, they will have virtually no chance at all. :o

The timing of this whistle blowing simply proves that SINner is a saboteur.

Imagine if they got real power, Sinkies will be in for a tough time. They cannot even manage their own conflicts, much less external ones. Narrow-minded politicians are the worst shits

Sin Kek Tong was the gentleman who stood by Chiam during the SDP fiasco. Sin formed SPP on standby for Chiam to join the moment Parliament was dissolved. There is nothing more divisive than the issue of money.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Sin Kek Tong 'wasted' one seat, polled a miserably percentage. Time to retire these old timers.

 

[cooleo]

Look at his fuck face and u wonder why he polled so miserably?

 

[Frankiestine]

wah SKT running a church ah required members to contribute 10% of salary.

Chiam wrote that into the constitution. Not Sin.

Have seen SKT speak at the Jalan Besar rally in 2001. One word: useless BUM, attention seeker. I recall he kept referring to some remarks made by Goh Chok Tong saying that GCT has "upped his status"... 100% copycat on what Tang Lian Hong said before. Shit lah GCT fxxk care about this loser.

Any internal party issue should always be resolved internally. There is no better way to destroy the party than doing something like this. This fella really cannot make it. If PAP offers him a position to iron the MP trousers he will willingly take it up.

 

[shOUTloud]

He should collect some kopi money from Amy Khor cos he made Amy Khor looked like a Superstar! We all need opponents like him in our worklife.

Is he the joker who kept saying "YES or YES"?

 

[Amakusa Kourin]

Sin Kek Thong is actually a good Chiam loyalist. SPP was started by him so that Chiam can parachute into it without losing his PP seat. I believe it is just a small fiasco that was blown up by ST. If Sin really hated Chiam, he could have left the party if he wanted to, but he chose to stay on. Hence, I believe it is water under the bridge and nothing more than a friends' squabble.

Cannot remember leh... but he did keep repeating Goh Chok Tong has once again upped his status... bla bla bla... in the same fashion as Tang Liang Hong did when GCT said he threw his stake in at Cheng San

Opposition members need to watch what they say knowing how the mainstream media will blow out of proportion any news which impact the oppo image negatively... even the soccer brawl yesterday... they were happy to remind everyone this is YSL's ward
