Controversial Eunos YPAP leader Sear Hock Rong has launched a website to showcase his MP Zainul Abidin Rasheed, who is the Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs together with his buddy Fong Yoong Keong.
Mr Sear sparked a massive outcry in cyberspace at the beginning of the year when it was revealed that his company R2E Concepts, set up only in July last year, counts among its clients quite a number of grassroots organizations which was widely reported in the press.
The 25 year old Mr Sear is the Chairman of PAP Eunos branch while his business partner Mr Fong Yoong Keong is the Assistant Secretary of Eunos Zone “3″ RC.
Despite many requests by netizens to clarify matters, Mr Sear blatantly refused to do so and challenged “anybody who doubts his character” to file an official complaint against him.
Mr Alex Tan wrote an email to the People Association (PA) questioning if there is any conflict of interest between Mr Sear’s business dealings with various Eunos grassroots organizations where he is currently serving in.
In a short reply to Mr Tan, Ms Adlina Jaffar the Head of the Corporate Communications Division of the PA wrote that they have “checked the transactions between Mr Sear Hock Rong’s company, R2E Concepts, and the Eunos Grassroots Organisations” and they “observed no impropriety in the transactions.”
In spite of PA’s clearance, questions remain about the tender process and the cosy ties between Mr Sear and the Eunos grassroots leader.
It is not known if Mr Sear is being paid for his IT services. He boasted that his website will be used as a “platform” during the coming general election.
“During elections, we can use this platform to post live updates, videos and photographs.” he was quoted as saying in the Straits Times.
The public image of the YPAP has been damaged beyond repair following a series of fiascoes involving its leaders who were caught making disparaging remarks about Singaporeans on YPAP Facebook.
Since Mr Sear’s public spate with Mr Alex Tan was publicized in the media, he had stopped posting on the YPAP Facebook altogether, leaving it to his comrades Sinha Shekhar and Jack Lin Xinli to “steal” the limelight.
