The former Member of Parliament for Bukit Batok single member constituency has resigned due to an incident of indiscretion. Several reports linked his resignation to an extra-marital affair with his grassroots leader.
Mr Ong has written a recent letter addressed to the residents of Bukit Batok apologising for his resignation. In the letter he said, “I had publicly apologised to Bukit Batok residents in my letter of resignation on 12 March, and in my subsequent apologies through the media.”
