After much intense cyberbullying by oppies, good MP Tin shifted to a different portfolio in Grab. Oppies happy now?
SINGAPORE: Following
public scrutiny of her earlier appointment at Grab Singapore, Member of Parliament
Tin Pei Ling said on Friday (Feb 10) that it would be best for her to move into a role that did not involve any government relations in the country.
She will transition to becoming a director of corporate development.
The announcement comes more than a week after it was reported that she had been appointed director of public affairs and policy at Grab Singapore. The news prompted questions about a possible conflict of interest between her positions in Parliament and at the tech company.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Ms Tin said her new role as director of corporate development is "aligned to my career interest and will also tap on my past experiences in consulting and corporate strategy".
She added: "To ensure that I can always contribute constructively in Parliament, I also need to challenge myself to grow, and keep pace with developments. Hence I saw the opportunity to return to the private sector as a way to broaden my horizons and to hone new skills. I looked forward to my role at Grab as an opportunity to grow and contribute to society."
