SINGAPORE: In response to a recent POFMA order regarding false allegations he made regarding the dearth of financial aid for West Coast residents, Leong Mun Wai resigned from his position as secretary-general of the Progress Singapore Party (PSP).
“Mr. Leong Mun Wai decided to step down as PSP’s Secretary-General on Feb 20, 2024, to take responsibility for the POFMA Correction Direction he received on Feb 15, 2024,” the party said in a statement released on Friday, February 23.
In April 2023, Mr. Leong, a Member of Parliament without a Constituency, was chosen to lead the PSP.
He will continue to serve on the party’s central executive committee.
The PSP has elected Ms. Hazel Poa as its next secretary-general, and she will assume the role on February 20.
PSP stated that it is “proud that he (Mr. Leong) has demonstrated accountability through his actions, not just words.”
