From mothership.sg
People’s Action Party (PAP) candidate Tan See Leng has taken to Facebook to address online allegations that he would not have time to serve residents as a Member of Parliament (MP) as he holds a large number of directorships in various healthcare companies.
Tan, 55, is contesting in Marine Parade group representation constituency (GRC).
Claims of holding multiple directorships
A post on social media listed all the positions Tan held and claimed he is holding 69 positions in total.
It also questioned if he would have time and energy to even serve as a part-time MP for Marine Parade GRC if elected.
In his Facebook reply, Tan said he no longer holds those positions, as he had retired from IHH Healthcare at the end of Dec. 31, 2019.
“I wish to correct the wrong impression," he wrote in his Facebook post.
"The directorships were the result of my position as the Group CEO and MD of the listed company IHH Healthcare Bhd.”
“With the cessation of my employment, all my directorships of active companies related to the group have also ceased at the end of 31 December 2019. The directorships listed are part of dormant companies in the process of undergoing voluntary liquidation and winding up which do not require any active work nor time.”
Tan said he currently holds four directorships.
They are Surbana Jurong, the only paid one, and the others at social enterprise raiSE, NUH Fund Ltd and NUH Health Research Endowment Fund that are unpaid.
He is also volunteering as an adviser for Temasek Foundation.
Tan replaces Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong as chairman of the Marine Parade PAP branch.
Goh is retiring from politics.

Mr Xie has been helping out with the Covid-19 battle amid the pandemic, as he leads Alexandra Hospital’s operations in a major community care facility and other areas.
Before moving into public healthcare, Mr Xie spent five years in the private sector at an investment company. Before that, he spent six years in the Singapore Armed Forces.
Mr Xie, who is married, wants to keep healthcare accessible, affordable and of quality for Singaporeans, as well as support the lower-income families and vulnerable individuals holistically.
He has been an active volunteer in the community since 2015, introducing several initiatives to support lower-income families in Jurong.
“We need to listen deeply to residents and bring their suggestions together to improve lives and build a better home. There is so much energy and wisdom in the community,” said Mr Xie.

LHL may consider one of the newbies as a member of the New Task Force.
DESMOND TAN KOK MING, 50
Former People's Association head
PHOTO: PEOPLE'S ACTION PARTY
For Mr Desmond Tan, securing a government scholarship in his teens was the only way he could afford his university education.
But such social mobility among children from low-income families has become "quite challenging" in recent years, he said yesterday. It is a cause the father of three plans to champion if he gets elected.
Mr Tan grew up in a three-room Bukit Ho Swee flat that at one time housed 12 people - his own family of six, his uncle's family of four, his grandmother, and another uncle.
His father was a taxi driver, while his mother took on various jobs to supplement the family's income. These included working in a factory, as a babysitter, and selling satay and nasi lemak on the streets.
Mr Tan, a former Queenstown Secondary Technical School student, later went to Raffles Junior College. He was awarded the Singapore Armed Forces Merit Scholarship and graduated from the Victoria University of Manchester in 1994 with first class honours in aeronautical engineering.
Mr Tan rose to the rank of brigadier-general before leaving to helm the People's Association in January 2017. There, he introduced Residents' Networks and Youth Networks to encourage social mixing.

How about this businessman? 
EDWARD CHIA BING HUI, 36
Co-founder and managing director of Timbre Group
PHOTO: PEOPLE'S ACTION PARTY
Helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) transform and ride out the Covid-19 crisis is one of Mr Edward Chia's top priorities if he is elected to Parliament.
His own business, the Timbre Group, runs food and beverage venues including Timbre+ and Yishun Park Hawker Centre, and has had to grapple with the impact of Covid-19 and deal with other common challenges SMEs deal with - coping with high rentals, insufficient manpower, and staying ahead of digital disruption.
"I go through this on a daily basis," he said. "I can truly empathise with SMEs and I hope to be an effective voice for SMEs in Parliament."
Mr Chia, the father of a six-year-old boy, is expected to be fielded in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC. He went to National Junior College and studied economics and political science at the National University of Singapore. He started Timbre at 21 when he was an undergraduate.
Said Mr Chia: "We must redouble our efforts to support our SMEs - not just to survive, but to emerge stronger. In essence, stronger SMEs mean better jobs for Singaporeans."
