Mr Shanmugam cited a Facebook comment made by Mr Leong in February 2023, about how Singaporeans would not be "condemned to living in HDB flats" under proposed public housing policies by the Progress Singapore Party. Mr Shanmugam was responding to a question from Mr Leong on reviewing the CMIO framework, which manages race-related policies.
