The veteran opposition politician will be cremated on June 6.
SINGAPORE – Mr Cheo Chai Chen, who was a Singapore Democratic Party MP for Nee Soon Central from 1991 to 1997, has died at the age of 73.
“Our members mourn his passing, and we send our deepest condolences to his family on the bereavement,” it added. “Beneath his quiet demeanour lies a gutsy firebrand who exhibits crisis leadership when the time demands for it,” Mr Lim said. As an MP, Mr Cheo expressed his disagreement with the way in which the Community Improvement Projects Committee disbursed funding for community infrastructure and also raised municipal issues such as the need for a polyclinic and a concrete footpath in Yishun.
