Hougang residents welcomed the Workers’ Party’s (WP) shock decision to expel its Member of Parliament (MP) for Hougang, Yaw Shin Leong.
On Wednesday, WP party chairman Sylvia Lim told the media Yaw was expelled after he failed to give a proper account of his alleged indiscretions in his private life to the party leadership. She said he repeatedly did not show up for meetings when summoned.
Regina Chua, 34, an auditor who has lived in Hougang SMC for six years, said, “The party did well to sack him. It was a brave move and it shows they are willing to choose morals over power.” Full story
