Ex-Workers' Party MP for Hougang Yaw Shin Leong has broken his silence.

He apologised to the voters of Hougang for the inconvenience caused.

In his letter, which was sent to the media on Friday, Mr Yaw said he and his wife will be back in Singapore regularly.

In the letter, Yaw wrote that with the Hougang by-election around the corner, he would like to take the ‘opportunity’ to ‘thank’ Hougang voters for casting their votes for him during 2011 election.

“I also wish to apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, for the whole episode and having to go through the polls again as a result of my expulsion from the Workers’ Party,” he added.

Alamak, is he trying to take revenge on the Worker Party for expelling him? As a politician before, he should know better that under his circumstances, it best that he keep silence so that people won't be reminded strongly again of his scandal, which will affect the worker party image.

By saying this, voters will take it that his connection to the Worker party is still not broken entirely and will have doubts over the party image.

You are so right.
This man is not shrew enough to be called a politician.
At this moment he should plaster his mouth shut.
By apologising now at this critical time is like rubbing salt into a forgotten wound.
It would only benefit WP's rival.

I am not surprised, after all Png Eng Huat was the one leading the charge to remove Yaw from WP what... There are too many disgruntled wannabes in WP....
