Two men on Facebook have issued public apologies to minister K. Shanmugam, for recirculating allegations about him having an affair with another MP.
Apology from Dave Tham
I apologise that I had put up a scandalous post on Minister K Shanmugam, which also referred to a post supposedly made by his ex wife. I checked with his ex wife, and she confirmed that she did not put the post up. It was put up by someone , pretending to be his ex wife.
I should not have done what I did.
I have removed all posts in regards to the K Shanmugam’s affair with Foo Mee Har as I’ve found out after double checking with his former wife Jothie Rajah to be falsehood
I reached out to K Shanmugam first….and he was kind enough to let the matter rest….as he was aware what truly transpired I’ve also reached out to Ms Foo Mee Har as well apologising to her in regards to the above
At no point in time they’ve threatened or induced me in anyway
For me if I think a wrong is made or done…just do the right thing by righting the wrong asap
Apology from Gordon Ong
On 15 and 16 August 2023, at various times, I published false, scandalous statements about Mr K Shanmugam on various Facebook pages, including my personal Facebook page. I also referred to a post by an imposter who pretended to be Mr Shanmugam’s ex-wife.
I sent these falsehoods actively on no less than 92 occasions on those two days.
I apologise unreservedly to Mr K Shanmugam for making these false and scandalous statements.
I have removed the statements and undertake not to publish any further statements on this, or to make any allegations to the same or similar effect, in any manner whatsoever.
What I did was wrong, and I am very sorry for what IÂ did.
Gordon Ong
