Mr Goh's team debunked the claim in a statement, pointing out that the image in the WhatsApp message referred to a Mr George Goh Tiong Yong, not Mr George Goh Ching Wah
SINGAPORE: Re-asserting his independence from the ruling party, presidential hopeful George Goh Ching Wah denied the claims floating online that he is a senior leader within the People’s Action Party-affiliated grassroots member.
The message contains an image of a Singapore Government Media Release of a Speech by Mr Mohamad Maidin Bin Packer Mohd at the opening of the upgraded Kampong Ubi Community Centre on 1 Oct 2000. The team clarified, “Mr George Goh Ching Wah was never a CCC member, let alone chairman and has no political affiliations – past or present.”
With the cost of living pressures weighing on the people today, he said they would be more inclined to give a non-establishment candidate a chance.
