SINGAPORE: Former Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) Daniel Goh said on Thursday (Jun 1) that he has been expelled from the Workers' Party (WP). The reason for the expulsion given to him in a letter by WP pertains to him disclosing information about the 'inner workings' of the opposition par
In his Facebook post on Thursday, Assoc Prof Goh, who is currently associate provost of undergraduate education at the National University of Singapore , said that"his retirement from politics is complete" with the expulsion."Gotta update my CV to say I was expelled from WP for calling out the leadership."
A sociologist at NUS, he started volunteering with WP in the 2011 General Election and joined as a member in 2013. In the 2015 polls, he was among the candidates in the WP team who contested but lost in the East Coast Group Representation Constituency. WP later nominated him to take up the NCMP post after its member Lee Li Lian, who lost the Punggol East ward to Mr Charles Chong from the People’s Action Party, declined to take up the seat.
He had stepped down from his appointments in the party’s CEC in 2020 to focus on recovering from an unspecified “health condition” and did not contest the General Election that year.
