Re: Do you want a MP who goes into hiding when confronted with problem?
She can run but cannot hide, the hard truth is out.
I strongly believe somebody would come out and speak for her in no time.
PAP supporter: Don’t harass MP Intan
source: http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/09/22/pap-supporter-dont-harass-mp-intan/
A PAP supporter has turned up to defend Ang Mo Kio GRC MP Intan Mokhtar on the MP’s Facebook page.
Earlier, in a thread on MP Intan’s Facebook page, netizens have been asking her if she has indeed supported the PR application of PRC tour guide Yang Yin [Link].
Yang used to serve in MP Intan’s constituency as a grassroots member. MP Intan earlier told the media that Mr Yang had helped foreigners in Ang Mo Kio GRC to integrate into Singapore society (‘MP Intan: Yang helps foreigners to integrate into SG‘). She said she did not know Mr Yang personally and that he was one of many grassroots leaders in her constituency.
Allegations that Yang manipulated an 87-year-old widow, Chung Khin Chun, to give him control over her $40 million assets have made world news recently (‘SGs riled over manipulation of rich widow by PRC man‘).
Till today (22 Sep), MP Intan has not replied to the questions asked if she has supported Yang’s PR application.
Instead, a PAP supporter by the name of Jack Lin came to her defence yesterday (21 Sep):
In another thread on MP Intan’s Facebook page, Jack Lin accused netizens, who were questioning the MP on her Facebook page, of trying to “harass” the MP:
Who is Jack Lin?
It’s not known if the current Jack Lin defending MP Intan is the same YPAP grassroots leader who served in Joo Chiat SMC in 2010.
In 2010, a Mr Jack Lin, who was the General Secretary of Joo Chiat Youth Executive Committee, sparked an outcry among netizens by calling Singaporeans “3rd class citizens” on the YPAP Facebook. Complaints were then made to then MP Chan Soo Sen.
After the complaints were made, Mr Lin made a public apology for his offending statements (‘Mr Jack Lin became the 1st YPAP leader to apologise to Singaporeans for making offensive remarks about them‘).
At the time, MP Chan said that the remarks were made in the personal capacity of Mr Lin and therefore, they should not be associated with the YEC or YPAP. In any case, MP Chan said he had “communicated” with him who had expressed his “regret” in making the offending statement on the YPAP Facebook (‘PAP MP Chan Soo Sen: Jack Lin’s remarks should not be “associated” with YPAP‘).
“It was not his (Jack Lin’s) intention to make these statements as a Joo Chiat grassroots leader and youth activist, or as a member of PAP Joo Chiat Branch and YP Joo Chiat Branch. He regretted his use of the PAP Facebook to make the statement, as this made it difficult for others to dissociate him from his status as a grassroots leader and party member,” said Mr Chan.
