UPDATE – 7 May 1100hrs:

TOC has been informed that the Elections Department has asked the National Solidarity Party (NSP) to make a police report regarding its complaints. The NSP is considering the advice.

The National Solidarity Party (NSP) has lodged a complaint with the Elections Department over the posting of a comment on Tin Pei Ling’s Facebook page on Friday.

The comment was allegedly posted by Ms Tin, who is a People’s Action Party (PAP) candidate for Marine Parade GRC, which the NSP is also contesting.

The PAP team is led by Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and includes new face BG Tan Chuan Jin.

The NSP team includes its “star” candidate, Ms Nicole Seah.

All candidates are not allowed to campaign on Cooling-Off Day, which fell on Friday.

According to Channel Newsasia;

Ms Tin said on Thursday May 5, her Facebook page carried a “clarification” on reports that a MacPherson resident had been refused help for her child’s tuition fees.

The resident had asked for a refund.

The MacPherson Zone B Residents’ Committee said the deposit of S$80 cannot be refunded.

But netizens circulated on Friday a screen capture that showed a comment posted on Ms Tin’s Facebook.

The comment said: “OooOoooOooh so that’s what REALLY happened? Wow. I think tears in Parliament is worse than ANYTHING ELSE!”

The comment was however removed within 20 minutes.

When asked by the media on Friday about the incident, Ms Tin said that the comment was posted by one of the administrators of her Facebook page, Ms Denise He.

According to CNA, Ms Tin said:

“She [Ms He] wanted to post the comment in her personal capacity, and she was using her mobile phone. But she didn’t realise that she had inadvertently posted as my profile rather than her own … It was an honest mistake.”

However, socio-political website Temasek Review claimed that in Ms Tin’s declaration of election advertising form, she was the sole administrator of her page. (Temasek Review, see also here.)

Ms He was not declared as an administrator or moderator of the site.

Temasek Review also reported that a netizen has made a report with the Elections Department which said that it is looking into the matter. (See here.)

The NSP also brought to the Elections Department’s attention a posting, also on Ms Tin’s Facebook page, at or around0021 hrs on Friday – after Cooling-Off Day began – of a clarification by the Macpherson Zone B Resident’s Committee. Ms Tin is the PAP candidate expected to be in charge of the Macpherson ward if elected.

The clarification was about an incident which the NSP’s Ms Seah had recounted in her rally speech on Thursday.

The NSP raised a third incident with the Elections Department in its complaint. The party says it has been informed that copies of the PAP’s booklet – titled “Burning Questions” – were distributed to residents of Block 428, Tampines St 41, on Friday – Cooling Off Day.

“Such distribution appears to be in breach of the PEA [Parliamentary Elections Act], regardless of when the booklet had actually been published,” said the party’s secretary general, Mr Goh Meng Seng, in its press release.

Ms Seah will be paying a visit to the Elections Department on Saturday morning at 10am to inquire about the status of the complaints.

———–

The comment on Ms Tin’s Facebook page which Ms Tin claimed was posted by Ms Denise He.

The clarification by the MacPherson Zone B RC Committee posted on Ms Tin’s Facebook page. The time of the posting made says “0021 hrs” on 6 May, which was Cooling-Off Day.

    “I have a strong feeling that TPL will be groomed as a Minister for the Prime Minister Office.”

    If that ever happens, I’ll emigrate to Sudan.

  2. singaporen 14 May 2011

    TPL this bitch can get promoted, her husband must be pretty influential.
    Anyway, she will be PAP political landmind in the coming election.
    We need to start a war with PAP. We cannot let them decide how we need
    to work under Familee regime.

  3. Alex Xia 14 May 2011

    I have not been following up. Is this a closed issue? Did someone from the government other than the Election Depart make a comment. Is this within the purview of the police or the Ministry in charge of elections?

    Not trying to put more pressure on TPL…she is really not worth so much attention….BUT SINGAPOREAN NEED TO GET CLARIFICATION on this important issue which involves a cardinal principle.

  4. flooz 15 May 2011

    Case Closed.

    Police Report filed. Police investigated
    Insufficient evidence to press charges against Ms Tin Pei Ling. Elections Department closes file.

    NOW LEAVE HER ALONE AND MOVE ON!!!!

  5. flooz 15 May 2011

    singaporen, pls do not call yourself singaporean. It disgraces truth singaporean. It basically shows who you are.

  9. Victor 16 May 2011

    Firstly, let those who have never made any mistakes in their life make the first criticism.
    Let’s not be over critical of TPL.
    2ndly, i am disappointed that TPL mentioned name of person of person who made the mistake. Perhaps there is a better way to handle this.
    3rdly, can anyone let me know where is the petition letter? How to catch hold of it?
    Thanks.

  10. Victor 16 May 2011

    Anyone any idea how I can write to the Prime Minister? I m saddened to see an imbalance. We should hv all citizen’s welfare at heart. The political system should allow PAP to field an All Star team. Eg, exchange TPL with George Yeo or Lim Hwee Hua. That is really what will benefit all Singaporean. Btw, I m not against TPL. I really like to hear PM Lee ‘s view on my suggestion.

  11. Robert Teh 17 May 2011

    Victor,

    I have written to PM Lee and got no reply to proposals to adopt basics and fundamentals for nation building and others. May be you will be more lucky.

    What the Government is doing to start on a “clean slate” is commendable. This gives us the confidence that the Government is listening to the ground resentment of the high-handed implementation of their policies.
    However, it will come to nought if the Government’s response to TPL’s case is not handle in a manner to show that the “playing field is fair”.
    To this I suggest the Government apply the following on TPL:

    1. Fine her (a significant sum)
    2. Public apology from her
    3. Ban her from doing her MP work for 2 years (without MP salary)
    4. Review the case again after 2 years to either allow her to carry on her MP function or call for a by election.

    The above will put the Government in good stead.

  13. THOSE STUPID PAPAYAS USE MSM TO HIT US,NOW WE USE POISON TREAT POSION,TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS THE FEELING.READY THX GOD TO HELP US BY HVING THE NEW MEDIA……………KARMA…….

    DO YOUR PART,FORWARD AS FAR AS U CAN.WE MUST WORK TOGETHER.

    D’ont be so naive, lah. If you study PAP’s modus operandi over the years you will know PAP always make their plans carefully. Tin Pei Ling is not the result of a last minute bad choice. She was chosen precisely for Marine Parade and no where else. Why?

    It should not come as a surprise that GCT has become an increasing irritant to the LHL factions within PAP over time. Indeed LKY intended him to be a mere seat warmer for son LHL when LKY stepped down in 1990. In fact, GCT was not even LKY’s first choice as successor. But as it turned out, GCT became quite a popular PM, obtained very high voting rates (72%) at the GEs, resulting in his overstaying his seat warmer role – 10 years before LHL ascended to the throne in 2004. This was not taken lightly by the Lee clan/faction. So TPL was placed in Marine Parade as a poison pill to torpedo GCT. Even better, a Nicole Seah windfall helped to pull GCT down further.

    Now that GCT is out (called emeritus SM as face saver), TPL’s usefulness is gone. It’s not a bad deal for her though. $15k a month MP allowance, and the triple promotion at her accounting firm to Executive Director, at least another %30k a month.

  17. As a senior citizen, I am really saddened by the rude and vulgar remarks/comments by some of our very own Singaporeans about our Ms Tin Pei Ling and the PAP.
    Those crude remarks in the Temasek Review for all to see shows that one can write anything and get away with it.
    Can the authorities please take some action before things get out of control?

  18. Any update on the police report made against TPL? I guess we are all still waiting for the police to complete their investigations and let us know what they intend to do? Charge her or not?
