People's Action Party candidate Murali Pillai has hit out at a 'scurrilous attack' on his family through a post about his son, which he linked to the announcement of his standing for re-election. Mr Murali, who was elected to Parliament in 2016, said the post surfaced...
They contested the single-member constituency after the departure of PAP MP David Ong over allegations of an extramarital affair. Mr Murali won with 61.2 per cent of the vote.
Dr Chee posted a criticism of the attack on his own Facebook page, saying while he has not seen the post, he has watched Mr Murali's"anguished response to it". "I stand with Mr Murali on this and call on whoever who did this video to stop it and for others not to circulate it," he wrote. "I may disagree with Mr Murali on his political views and we can have a healthy and professional debate on them. But our differences must not be allowed to degenerate into unseemly smears against the candidates and their families."
Speaking to The Straits Times, Mr Murali said he would not let personal attacks distract him from the issues Bukit Batok residents care about."I am determined to continue helping Bukit Batok families to overcome the challenges that we collectively face in this present crisis," he added.
