SINGAPORE — The Workers' Party (WP) is looking into a video clip circulating on social media suggesting an "inappropriate exchange" between two of its senior members, the party said in a statement on Monday (July 17).
While the statement did not name the members, a video that was posted on Facebook on Monday morning by a user named "Victoria Wang" has been making the rounds.
In it, Mr Leon Perera, who is a WP MP for Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC), and Ms Nicole Seah, the party's youth wing leader, can be seen holding hands and having a conversation over a candlelit table and glasses of what appears to be wine.
"The Workers’ Party is aware of a video clip circulating online today that suggests an inappropriate exchange between two senior party members," said WP.
"The party is currently looking into the matter and will comment when we have the facts. The party also expects all its members to fully own and account for their behaviour," it added.
It is not known when and where the video clip was taken.
Both Mr Perera and Ms Seah are in the WP's Central Executive Committee, its top decision-making body.
Mr Perera, 53, is married with two children.
Ms Seah, 36, got married in 2015 and gave birth to her second daughter last year.
She contested in the East Coast GRC in the 2020 General Election and was part of the WP team that lost to the People's Action Party team led by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.
