SINGAPORE — People’s Action Party (PAP) new face Ng Ling Ling came forward on Monday (June 29) to respond to comments made by a former colleague disputing her claim of starting the Social Service Training Institute (SSTI) and National Council of Social Service (NCSS).
Mr Richard Giam, who said that he used to report to Ms Ng directly when she was an assistant director at SSTI from Sept 2004 to Aug 2006, took to Facebook on Monday morning to say that Ms Ng had made a false claim in her PAP candidate introduction, and that she was not the person who had set up SSTI and NCSS, as she had said in her speech.
In her speech on Thursday after being introduced as a new PAP candidate, Ms Ng had said she joined the social service sector after having looked after her family.
“I found a platform in the National Council of Social Service where I developed non profit boards, I set up the Social Service Training Institute and I allocated funds to assure that social service agencies can run critical programmes.”
Mr Giam wrote in his Facebook post: “Choice of words (are) important. I cannot publicly claim that I set up a team when I was only one of the contributing members. It would be very misleading and deceptive.”
He then urged Ms Tan Bee Heong, the founding director of SSTI, and Mr Gerard Ee, the former president of NCSS, to come forward to provide clarity on the matter.
