In the latest incident to rock Singapore's political scene, Workers’ Party MP Leon Perera and senior party leader Nicole Seah have resigned from the party over an extramarital affair.
He spoke to members of the press to address a video circulating online of Perera and Seah touching hands.
The 15-second video appears to show Perera stroking the hand of a woman who looks like Seah at a restaurant over a glass of wine.They sit on the party’s 15-member central executive committee – its top decision-making body.Seah, 36, is the WP’s Youth Wing president and was one of the party’s candidates in the team that narrowly lost to the People’s Action Party’s team led by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat in East Coast GRC at the 2020 General Election.
Perera was mentoring Seah at the time, and while it was expected that they would be spending more time with each other, sources who spoke to ST said some felt there was more happening between the pair. Party leaders, including Singh, former secretary-general Low Thia Khiang and Associate Professor Lim, met at the WP headquarters on Monday to discuss the matter.
