Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Singapore Scandals Involving Ruling Party Politicians: Timeline” – below is their description.
Singapore’s ruling People’s Action Party was dealt a fresh blow on Monday when the parliament speaker resigned in an “inappropriate relationship” with a member of parliament.
The scandal may further sway voter support from the long-ruling party after last week’s arrest of Transport Minister S. Iswaran and property tycoon Ong Beng Seng in a graft probe. PAP has governed Singapore since independence in 1965.
“High standards of propriety and personal conduct, together with staying clean and incorrupt, are the fundamental reasons Singaporeans trust and respect the PAP,” Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in a statement. “Without party discipline, without integrity, we are nothing.”
