WP's Yaw Shin Leong resigns as party treasurer

It a dissapointment of WP especially its leader of WP. Come out clean and deny those rumours if this is not true. Silence is not the answer but only create more suspisiion. Do not think time will heal just by remain silence as people still remember and gradually lose trust. Once you are public figure also drawing a more than decent salary as compared to we common folks, it is your duty to speak the truth even if this is your private affair as we view having affair is morally wrong.

For those who have been defending YSL that his private affairs have nothing to do with his work, put yourself in the shoes of the men whose wives committed adultery. How would you feel? Any decent man will think twice about having an affair with a married woman. If he does not even care about the feelings of fellow men, what makes you think he will bother about Singaporeans? Visiting a married woman in her home when her husband is not at home is not what a gentleman would do. Surely Singaporeans deserve a better MP who can do his job equally well without the moral transgressions?

Sorry Mr Yaw, a line has been crossed. You are a liability to WP. Either you come forward to demolish the allegations or vacate your MP seat in Hougang to allow a more credible candidate to take over.

When his affair was exposed in the media, then Malaysian Health Minister Chua Soi Lek admitted the affair the very next day and resigned from all positions in the government. This is what a real man should do. Stop being a coward and hide in your shell as if nothing has happened. Silence is not an option here. If WP still continues to take Singaporeans are idiots, it will be punished heavily in the next GE.

What can be more interesting to find PAP camp n WP camp in lock horn now? Hey Guys what do you get aftermath of the challenge? Just because of one IDIOT, hurling vulgar words at each other? Why get agitated? Are you getting paid for hurling nonsense? Perpetual err of human behaviour remain, Lets' the law of extra-marital deal with him. Cheer have a Coke !!!

I am disappointed with Yaw and more so, with Low Thia Khiang and Sylvia Lim. The First World Parliament slogan by WP will return to haunt them comes 2016 Election. As appointed public servants to all Singaporeans, WP is accountable and MUST give us voters to know the truth. If Yaw is innocent, he should come out now and declare his innocence. If the two senior public officer can be bought with SEX and are being investigated by CPIB, then I think Yaw should be investigated by CPIB as well. Why? He probably could use his role as an MP to help facilitate a favour for his girlfriend. One reason I can think why Low and Sylvia is not coming out to tell the truth is to allow Yaw to serve the full term and train up someone to take over him when he steps down in the next election. This is call 'TRANSPARENCY' by the Workers Party.

He is worst than jack Neo. At least Jack Neo dare to come out and admit his mistake. He as a MP should be shameful for himself. Oh ya WP should change name to WCP Without Comment party......

i think it is possible for YSL & WP to sue TRE, ZB, WB & ....... for spreading rumours. BUT why are they not doing it or at least tell us that they are considering this option? SL the chairman is trained in law, she should be able to advice YSL & WP on this option so why does WP & YSL keep saying no comments for weeksssss???????

Yaw has hurt someone deep - Angela's husband.

@ Andy :Today's TNP reported that another affair of YSL had surfaced online. YSL had alleged affair with a married PRC woman! She is a neighbor who was helping YSL with mandarin translation for his speeches. YSL apparently screws her when he conveniently drops in for translation when her husband is out working....

OMG! A sex maniac being voted as MP to serve and poke and poke at other ppl's wives.Now I understand why so many married aunties like to attend his MPS with extra special services.
All members of Parliament and politicians should "introspect" before they preach morality in public life.
Super TeKo Yaw should resign as MP to prevent his immorality act on his residents' married aunties.As a MP,a Public figure in wolf skin, committing numerous adulteries.Worse than a beast!

This man has been married twice and he is still so young. His 1st marriage lasted only one year. He could have gone through a 2nd divorce if his present wife is not so forgiving. Why did the workers party allowed him to resign from the executive committee and treasurer post if it's only a personal matter. There could be other issues or wrongdoings which only the leaders of workers party knew when they accepted his resignation. Whatever he has done is not the fault of the workers party. When a staff of a company commits an unlawful act, you cannot charge the employer. So to those who have supported the workers party, let us continue to support them. This man would probably be replaced in the next GE.

The whole committee keep mum over this issue with only NO COMMENT OR RUMOURS so my guess they condone this kind of unmoral behaviour in their party. IF it is only RUMOURS OR NO TRUTH...then come out and DENY it...Why keep quiet and avoid the issue unless there are some truth in what was reported. Unless maybe not only ONE FEMALE was involved or with MARRIED OR UNMARRIED FEMALE....Well your guess is as good as mine YAW....

Initially I had thought, give him a break, thats his personal affair. But after reading today's papers, I realised this man is a romeo. Below 30 years old and he has been married twice and almost divorce the 2nd time if his present wife is not forgiving. This time he went after a married woman. He won't have to resign from the executive commitee of the workers party if his party had supported him but it's not to be. Think about that.

Following today's TNP report that Yaw also had an affair with a married PRC who was helping him with Chinese translation, one wonders how many women he is involved with. No wonder he resigned as Treasurer. Looks more like he was asked to resign.

This is getting ever damaging and out of control... WP and Low have to stand up and give the voters an explaination

It's a shame! Not one but possibly 2 or 3 ladies, and among them married women! If this is the type of MP from WP, I really cannot say much of the party. And worse, the party is not saying anything as if it wants to protect YSL. A resignation from party post does not absolves YSL of his accountability of his behaviour to his voters. If he is a private citizen, I think nobody cares, but the issue really is about public accountability if you are holding public office. So I don't understand why there's so much blind swearings in this thread trying to make a feeble attempt at distingushing between personal affairs and his ability to contribute as an MP. If WP really meant what it says about creating a First World Parliament, then it should not just keep quiet on this issue. Such a behaviour smacks of quiet acceptance of YSL's behaviour. Surely a First World Parliament advocate cannot behave like this. This is a betrayer of trust and confidence. It is best for YSL to step down as an MP and give way to fresh elections. If the voters really want WP to continue to serve them, WP candidate will still return. So no need to worry. But for the party to procratinate further, it will only dig itself deeper into the ground, and causing more to lose faith and confidence in the party to keep to its words. Low Thia Kiang/Sylvia Lim, it's time to speak out and weed out the bad eggs in your camp!

WP supporters voted you in 5/11 cos they feel you make a different in representing them. If you have an affair (or not) just admit it and move on. Though it may hurt your political career & tarnish your reputation. but it doesn't make you less as a person. You owe your supporters an explanation. If you don't, you are not giving yourself any chance.

Following this resignation, I have the following questions on my mind:
a. Is this a disciplinary action taken by WP on Mr Yaw? If yes, why wasn't it explained by WP?
b. The internal party scandal has not been clarified by WP. Will WP be clarifying over this issue? Exactly how many WP members are involved
c. What disciplinary action is WP CEC going to take?
d. How will WP restore the confidence of the public?

YAW SL big news in today Wan Bao.. one woman had came out to admit his affair with Yaw.. WP Supporters now you see the true and the truth yourself... things are exploding bigger and bigger..... Total five women.... one by one thing will be out soon....

This super hero in many married women eyes is suppose to succeed his MENTOR at WP....The most upset person now must be LTK cos he has put 20ys of hard at Hougang and pass the stronghold to this so call successor

This is a piece of shit!!!! can't understand why Yaw have to do this! And to think i went for their rally!

I'm not voting for them anymore, I voting for PAP!

If he had lied in his private life; he could have lied in his work too. He might have use his authority to over-power that lady whom he allegedly having an affair.
“As you sow, so you shall reap. He has to step down as a MP
