No further action against Tin Pei Ling: Police
The Singapore Police Force said in a statement today that no further action will be taken against Marine Parade GRC Member of Parliament Tin Pei Ling.
She allegedly posted a comment on her Facebook page on May 6, Cooling-Off Day.
The comment read: 'OooOoooOooh! so that's what REALLY happened? Wow. I think tears in Parliament is worse than ANYTHING ELSE!'
A complaint was lodged against her by Ms Nicole Seah of the National Solidarity Party.
Under the Parliamentary Elections Act, no election advertising is allowed on Cooling-Off Day.
After investigations, the police concluded that the posting was made by one of Ms Tin's friends without her knowledge.
A similar complaint was made against Ms Nicole Seah for posting on her Facebook page on Cooling-Off Day.
However, the police determined that the posting was made by a NSP volunteer who had intended the posting for the day before Cooling-Off Day.
The police have issued a stern warning to Ms Tin's friend for violating the Parliamentary Elections Act.
The NSP volunteer's explanation has also been accepted by the police.
