[FULL] PM Lee on Tan Chuan-Jin and Cheng Li Hui’s “inappropriate relationship” and resignations
The inappropriate relationship between Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin and fellow People’s Action Party MP Cheng Li Hui continued, despite them being counselled by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in February. READ MORE: str.sg/iw98
He was speaking at a press conference at the Istana on Monday (July 17), following his announcement of Mr Tan and Ms Cheng’s resignations from the PAP.
PM Lee said he had learnt about the relationship sometime after the 2020 general election, but did not know when it began.
Mr Tan has also resigned from his position as MP of Marine Parade GRC, while both have resigned from the People’s Action Party (PAP).
PM Lee said the resignations are necessary to maintain the high standards of propriety and personal conduct.

Dear Mr Prime Minister Lee,…it is really unfortunate and disappointing to know both former parliamentary speaker Tan Chuan Jin’s and Tampines MP Cheng Li Hui’s shameful and embarrassing resignations. Human beings are naturally born with greeds, be it monetary greeds, sexual and extra-marital greeds, and power greeds too. So these two former MPs must bear their own naughtiness effects and embarrassment causes. At the same time, my family, friends and I notice that recently you have aged quite fast and a lot. We believe your health could have taken a subtraction is because of these problems, troubles and messes that these recalcitrant public high officials (including the latest minister Iswaran’s suspected corruption case) have committed, that have caused you worried so much. As such, we are heartedly asking you Mr Prime Minister Lee, please take good care of your own personal health, stay healthy and safe ever. ❤❤❤

You have no heart or so merciless, meh? He did explain that information may be withheld or delay out of certain considerations. You need to "show compassion" for the pain and anguish they and their families are going through, and those who qre unwittingly involved in the process. The same as judges defer an imprisonment for a woman so that she can put her young children in good care. It's a moral issue and not a corruption issue where money and privileges are involved. The desire of the heart is not easy to tame - not even the Emperor or Sultans. Just like people who desire to know everything and anything - even it means nothing or little to them

@@westwoodly It matters because it muddies the professional r/s between the speaker and the member. There are definitely things to worry about pertaining to potential privileges/conflicts of interest/boundary crossing/partiality. The same ‘compassion’ wasn’t granted to Michael Palmer.
I remember the saga involving Raeesah Khan's lie in Parliament. WP leaders were grilled endlessly at Privileges Committee hearings on why they kept it a secret for MONTHS. In this article, it was revealed that PM Lee first knew about the relationship in 2020. So why did it come to light only 3 YEARS later? Should we, like in WP's case, set up set up a Privileges Committee to hear why PAP did not announce the affair when they knew about it and make Tan Chuan-jin resign right away? Personally, I've nothing against Tan. In fact, I thought he was one of the more promising leaders and wondered why PAP “sidelined” him by making him a Speaker years ago. Now we know why. Timeline check: 2020 No one won in this unfortunate situation. And I totally understand why PM wanted to give him a second, even third chance. Tan is only human and he is paying for his mistake dearly. The stain on his career, family and reputation is permanent, eradicating all the good he has done. Likewise, Ms Khan is only human too. I understand why she had to tell the lie in Parliament. She couldn't bring herself to say, "The police did not treat ME with sensitivity when I reported my rape." The lesson to be learnt here is in the Chinese saying, "得饶人处且饶人". Whenever one can forgive, just forgive. You never know when the day will come when you are the one eating the humble pie. So PAP, please be more magnanimous and compassionate when dealing with others’ failings. You just never know when tables will be turned.

I like the compassion part in which he spoke about the private and personal matters and protecting of innocent parties. Sometimes when there are gaps in the release of information like in the case of the Iswaran saga, it would be due to this. JBJ was hated by LKY, and DN's affair was embarrassing, but their children seemed to be doing very well in LKY-LHL government.

Are you saying it's alright to be understanding n cheat spouses. Mr. Lee Kuan Yew will punish and will demand these 2 ,to behave or get out ,from the start. It seems these two are simply pitied because they were not discreet. This is disgraceful. Treat them too soft and this is the result.

Maybe should have acted earlier in 2020 when he learnt about the relationship?

A span of nearly 3 years it was kept under wrapped from public knowledge while the guy continue to hold important role as speaker of parliament. We need an independent speaker. He is not the first speaker to have commited "inapprorpiate relationship" with another woman.
Update wikipedia already ?
Since February?
Why claim that Tan resigned and on the other hand ask to step down. Are you trying to make him look good by saying he resigned. Please make up your mind.

I was initially confused about this too. He's saying that Tan offered his resignation after being confronted in February, and that PM Lee accepted the resignation but told him to leave the party gradually (something about making sure residents are taken care of). He implies here that Tan continued with the extramarital relationship, and that PM Lee found out in July. That was when PM Lee told him to leave immediately.

yah it's 'nicespeak'. "Your resignation is necessary" is just a nice way to say "you better quit now before I fire you"
Just a thought. Is the speaker seat jinxed?
As a PAP house speaker or a MP having an extra-marital affair is against party's code of propriety regulation。 Disciplinary action is taken against such member after warning had been given but fail to stop. Member is given a choice to resign or get kick out of the party.
Why does one have to make something bad sound good? Why don't just say "four-letter word" and "adultery", instead of "inappropriate" this and that!

You want your children to learn those words? Or, your wife or husband to use those words - if "Speaker can use those words, so can I" In America they use a more sophisticated and creative phrase "expletive deletive"
Really eye-opener from Bolehland. Resignation is not in vocabulary.
Speaker of Parliament turns to a jinx position hahaha~~~...
A man who does not honour his word and engage in adultery knowing fully that it is wrong irregardless of his contributions, should not stay in power. And to top ot off, that biased personal conduct is very questionable. Good luck to TCJ. HE resigned in shame. At least he still can carry on in private. LHL is correct.

No need to carry on in private. Now they can proudly proclaim their love for each other and carry on in the public since everyone knows about their affair. Who knows he may get divorced and married the second love of his life. They were both prominent politicians serving the nation and its people so such "immoral conduct" made matter worse.

Prime minister! i have one question for you, what are going to do about Singapore's Man power situation?
During LKY time, do you think this kind of incident would have happen? No because ministers are more competent & honoruable. They make sure whatever they do, no one can find fault to question any of their actions. They do things with honor. Now... look, we can say the current generation of ministers, they did not break any law but what they are doing, their results is just the bare minimum. They only live day to day, they serve as with the least results. We need more ministers like Lawrence Wong, Pritam Singh, Masago that serve honorly.

LHL knew this relationship had been occurring since sometime after the 2020 GE but only followed-up in February of 2023. In this span of around 2.5 years they were spoken to and counseled...that's it? LHL said he did not know when it started. He claims that this is a serious matter that should not have happened, but from the scant timeline provided it seemed like he did not bother to follow-up for 2.5 years. There should be a hearing on his and PAP's handling of this case to establish the facts of the matter, similar to WP and their RK case, to determine if the party leaders involved took appropriate, adequate, and timely actions to fix the problem.

Robert F Kennedy Jr should have a listen to PM Lee's press conference and seriously reconsider his recent comment in a recent TV interview where he was asked about the importance and relevance of integrity for an individual holding public office. His response was that there's a "public" integrity and a " private" integrity which should be seperate. That's absolute garbage, of course as it's either one has or does not have integrity which cannot be seperated. PM Lee is upholding the high standards expected in and for Singapore. Kudos.
