End of road for PAP MP Ong Seh Hong?

[Avantas]

The Ren Ci fiasco took an unexpected twist today when it was revealed in the court by Ming Yi that he approved loans to several of its staff including is Chief Operating Officer Dr Ong Seh Hong who borrowed a stunning sum of $60,000. (read article here)

Dr Ong Seh Hong is the PAP MP for Kampong Ubi ward under Marine Parade GRC. He was in the spotlight lately over the Geylang Serai market food poisoning outbreak which took away the lives of two residents living in his constituency.

He has declined to comment on the matter on the grounds of the ongoing trial.

Within minutes of the news release on the Channelnewsasia online portal, the major internet chatrooms are abuzzed with the loan Dr Ong had taken from Ren Ci.

In less than a hour since the post first appeared on CNA forum, it has attracted over 2,000 views.

Many cannot understand why a doctor and a MP has to borrow money from a monk. Some questioned if the loan is interest-free.

Lackey Ong embarassed the regime with 60k.

WKS created a better embarassment for the regime and let loose a crazed jihadist.

Lackey Ong is expected to 'retire' soon.

WKS gleefully proposed new laws to stop peasants from protesting against his Master.

Life is unfair in Peasantpore.

Chey, borrow money from loanshark will be an offence once passed in Parliament.
Borrow money from monk is not an offence. The borrower can always claim not
to know where the money come from.

bro borrow from ah long cannot, but borrow from charity can. technically, the money belongs to ren ci not the monk.

i think not only interest free, probably never state when to pay back, and also no intention to pay back (by mp) or collect back (by fake monk)..

MP got good salary + MP allowance (that beats most sporn's salary), but still need to take loan. cheapo MP wanna take loan, dun wanna incur interest?? with his credentials, should be easy to take loan from banks leh. unless, he's using the $$ to roll in vice related matters?

scully he's the kingpin of vice operations in joochiat area?

With his salary, you think the $60,000 is a loan?

 

[ah_phah]

With his salary, you think the $60,000 is a loan?

maybe the loan is just a guise, they using the $ to spin for deep dark secrets?

 

[Cestbon]

FOr MP Salary and allowance is already more than $15K/month. Maybe he urgent need the money to pay Ah Long San.

This Ong should have expected it. Nothing in life is free and nobody does anything without motive. Now that the monk is in trouble, he will pull everyone down to hell with him...I suppose this is like "unsecured loan", so is he required to declare to his party?

 

[commoner]

you think all MPs allowance goes to the MPs' pocket huh,,,,,

a large portion goes back to the party i.e. PAP gets a large portion of the MP's allowance, and if goes by business model, new MP's allowance gets cuts more,,,,,

There is nothing wrong with this practise as companies tend to do this to retain their staffs. I really wonder why they purposely bring this up.

Nothing wrong if you are a private corporation and not some sheep-skin over wolf body charity.

If there is a clea policy on loan to staffs, even a charity organization is legal. You don't see anything else happen to TT Durai.

The fact is that these are loans and will be paid back by the staffs, unlike giving out money without conditions.
