Serious question: How many MPs resigned due to sex during LKY's reign

[steffychun]

How many?

Or is pinky Loon embarrassing his dad with such scandals?

 

[Leongsam]

Mistresses were allowed during LKY's reign. They were even included in the obituary list when the MP kicked the bucket.

How come Goh Keng Swee can poke around without any problems?

did he poke other pipz wives? ...

 

[HTOLAS]

Probably none. But MPs who were known to have mistresses included:

• Jek Yuen Thong
• Lee Chiaw Meng
• Othman Wok
• Yeoh Ghim Seng (another Speaker)
• Goh Keng Swee.

The norm back then was to retire the offending MPs at the next GE.

..I heard rumors that Ahmad Matar was "gay" ( not the happy kind. True or not ?

This was a hot rumour in the civil service when he was removed. The guy could have been presidential candidate after Wee kim wee

As if u are concerned

 

[blackmore]

Its a norm in that era for men in power with mistresses ; question is how many in public services got caught with their pants down. Nobody knows the actual figures but I believe it is not small.

Before the internet age, what we hear were unsubstantiated rumours that could not be verified. Now everyone leaves a digital trail where every bits of info can be dug.
