The party's deputy treasurer Nathaniel Koh was named youth wing president after Ms Seah's resignation.
Mr Perera, who was the head of the media team, also resigned after the affair came to light.Â
After Mr Perera's departure, Mr Louis Chua was appointed as head of the media team. Former Punggol East SMC MP Lee Li Lian has taken over Mr Chua's previous position as deputy head of media.
