Yahoo! News Singapore, 18 May 2012
Ex-Workers’ Party (WP) MP Yaw Shin Leong has finally broken his silence.
In a personal letter he penned to Hougang voters and sent to the media on Friday, he apologized “for the whole episode” and urged them to continue supporting the WP.
Yaw also thanked his former constituents for voting for him in the last General Elections and for their "patience and support" for him during his nine-month stint as MP of Hougang.
Although he failed to address the allegations of marital indiscretions, the 35-year-old confirmed that he and his wife had travelled out of Singapore as an “attempt to rebuild our lives as private individuals away from the glare of the media”, although they will come “home” regularly. Full story
