“There was no evidence or corroborating information to support the allegation,” said Mr Singh.
Workers’ Party MP Leon Perera and senior party leader Nicole Seah have resigned from the party after, in the latest incident to rock the country’s political scene.
Mr Perera said then he was in an ongoing dispute with his driver, and was about to terminate his services. He said had also sought legal advice on the allegations of his driver, said Mr Singh. Both of them admitted that they had an affair, which started after the general election of 2020. But then it had stopped some time ago, said Mr Singh.
“Leon’s conduct and not being truthful when asked by the party leadership about the allegations fell short of the standards expected of WP MPs. This is unacceptable. Had he not offered his resignation, I would have recommended to the CEC that he be expelled from the party.”
