Vote on motions related to Parliament’s handling of MPs under investigation
On Tuesday (Sep 19), Parliament rejected a motion filed by Progress Singapore Party (PSP) NCMP Hazel Poa to suspend Transport Minister S Iswaran as MP while he is under probe by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau. This was intended to ensure that he does not receive his MP allowance when he is not performing his duties. The House passed a counter-motion by Leader Indranee Rajah to “consider the matter” when the outcome of investigations is known. PAP MPs voted for Ms Indranee’s motion, along with all eight MPs from the opposition Workers’ Party. PSP’s two NCMPs, Ms Poa and Mr Leong Mun Wai, voted for their own motion.
