SINGAPORE - In the latest turn of events surrounding the surprise resignation of Worker's Party (WP) member Mr Yaw Shin Leong from his party's leadership, his former wife has stepped forward to state that it was not adultery on his part that ended their marriage.

Public scrutiny on Mr Yaw's love life has been intense ever since rumours surfaced three weeks ago that the Hougang Member of Parliament (MP) had an affair with a married female WP member.

Mr Yaw's first marriage in 2004 to 35-year-old Ms Ng Mei Sze, a teacher and a head of department at a top school, lasted for only about a year, The Straits Times (ST) reported.

ST said the couple did not live together during their brief married life, and have not spoken to each other ever since their relationship fell apart.

She did not specify what caused the breakdown.

In 2006, Mr Yaw reportedly became attached to his current wife, Madam Lau Wang Lin, and married her in November 2008.

ST sources said she had been a counting and polling agent for the Ang Mo Kio GRC team during the 2006 election.

While the couple has been described as very loving, there is now a fresh claim that Mr Yaw may have committed another indiscretion.

Following up on an email tipoff, The New Paper (TNP) reported that they interviewed a Chinese woman who claimed she had a "very short" affair with Mr Yaw.

The woman, who was not named, initially said their relationship was a professional one where she provided him translation services. She has been working with Mr Yaw for about two years.

She later admitted to the affair, but said it was so short that she didn't want to mention it.

It has also surfaced that Mr Yaw had been engaged to a fellow student during his university days, but they later broke up.

WP has kept mum despite all the rumours flying about online about Mr Yaw's private life.

Both WP and Mr Yaw have yet to state the reason behind the resignation, despite repeated queries from both ST and TNP.

WP would only say that they do not comment on rumours.

With Influence, Comes Responsibility

by Yaw Shin Leong on Sunday, 15 January 2012 at 23:26 ·


In the Straits Times yesterday, there was a special report titled ‘The Social Politician’. (Part D, Saturday, 14th January 2012). I read through the report and was a little surprised to find myself listed in all the eight categories. The eight categories & my respective rankings were:

1) Top 10 MPs who generated the most buzz on social media - 3rd Place
2) Top 10 MPs in terms of audience size on Facebook and Twitter - 2nd Place
3) Top 10 MPs who post most frequently on Facebook - 4th Place
4) Top 10 MPs who leave the most number of comments on FB wall - 3rd Place
5) MPs who got the most number of comments from Netizens - 6th Place
6) MPs who use social media most effectively are - 3rd Place (Joint)
7) Buzz per output ranking - 7th Place
8) Top 10 MPs in terms of share of positive comments out of all comments received - 4th Place

While these rankings don’t mean much to me and will not change the way how I interact with Singaporeans both online or offline, still understanding these categories and rankings means that every single word and action from me does have an influence to a varying degree, at least via the social media!

Of course we remember Uncle Ben Parker (from Spiderman) who said ‘With great power comes great responsibility’. As such I would like to take this opportunity to leverage upon the little influence I have to share some responsible words of encouragements with my fellow younger Singaporeans.

In life, we are unique beings and we must have purpose-driven convictions. Strong purpose driven convictions are the inextinguishable fuel that propels our passion.

Since we are imperfect beings, we must have the courage to admit mistakes. For the courage to admit mistakes, to apologize and to take corrective actions are the hallmarks of personal leadership.
:rolleyes::rolleyes:
If you have a passion for something, find out the reasons behind that something. Talk to your friends and loved ones, if those reasons are worthy. Pursue your passion with deep convictions unceasingly until success is to come.

Likewise, if you think you have made mistakes, talk to your friends and loved ones, even if those are serious mistakes, acknowledge them. Do not attempt to cover one mistake with another. Two wrongs do not make one right. Acknowledge them, take corrective actions and reconcile yourself with those around you. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Guess the above were too philosophical for the night. I will stop here and I better do so. This is because similar to my fellow WP MPs I’m also in the midst of finalizing my parliamentary speech on ministerial salaries for this week's sitting!
