I was shocked by the allegations in SMS Low Yen Ling’s FB post on 8 Jan 25. As a party, PSP immediately held a meeting on the evening of the same day (8 Jan) to hear directly from our volunteers. We wanted to hear their account of the matter and specifically examine the allegations in Ms Low's FB post. We looked at all our photos and videos of the day.
All the male volunteers who participated in the house visits on 4 Jan at Goodview Gardens were clear that they did not slap anyone, and they were firm in asserting that the allegation was untrue. A PSP volunteer did try to take a photo with a man who was filming him, but did not pull him by his shirt as alleged in Ms Low's FB post. Our volunteers also said that they started video recording only after being recorded themselves, contrary to the account given in Ms Low's FB post.
We note that in the video released by the PAP volunteer on 9 Jan 25, there was no evidence of any slapping, merely subtitles alleging so. I note that I also did not see any evidence of shirt pulling as alleged.
For Ms Low to have made such serious allegations, she must have clear evidence of the alleged manhandling. She needs to make this evidence available.
If any of our volunteers acted aggressively, we will take disciplinary actions. If they are accused falsely, then together we will fight the allegations all the way.
The Progress Singapore Party does not condone any form of violence, nor do we want to see our people become polarised because of politics. At the end of the day, we are all Singaporeans and we want the best for our country and fellow Singaporeans.
