Singaporeans scrutinise Tin Pei Ling's role at Business China as conflict of interest concerns continue unabated - Singapore News

SINGAPORE: MacPherson MP Tin Pei Ling’s former role at Business China, a non-profit organization, is being scrutinised online after the ruling party politician came under fire just weeks ago for taking a new role at Grab that raised conflict of interest issues.

This is not the first time that questions have risen about the influence Ms Tin’s husband may have had in her career. Her husband, Ng How Yue, is a top government official with a lengthy career in public service. He also served as Principal Private Secretary to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Ms Tin was chosen as a candidate for 3 General Elections by the People’s Action Party, headed by Mr Lee.

The Tote Board also entered into a new funding agreement with Business China last April and promised to fund 40 per cent of the organisation’s annual operating expenditure, capped at S$5,200,000, until December 2024.Singaporeans online are also asking how much-ruling party politicians have earned from the non-profit as Ms Tin’s predecessors as Business China CEO were her PAP colleagues, Sun Xueling, Low Yen Ling, and Josephine Teo.

As for Ms Tin, internet sleuths are predicting that the third-term MP may have earned over S$200,000 per year since she became CEO in 2018.
