Workers’ Party Has Held an Emergency Meeting Without Leon Perera & Nicole Seah

We might have been all caught up in the Tan Chuan-Jin and Cheng Li Hui saga, but it seems like the Workers’ Party has been cooking up their own drama. A viral video caused the Workers’ Party to hold an emergency meeting that lasted a whopping two hours.

13 members of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) made the roll call, including the former party bigwig, Low Thia Khiang.

But here’s where it gets interesting: two notable names from the CEC were missing from the roster. You guessed it, the alleged lovebirds, Leon Perera and Nicole Seah, were conspicuously MIA.

And here’s the kicker: Pritam Singh, the man at the helm, didn’t outright deny knowing about this supposed affair between Mr Perera and Ms Seah. Instead, he played it coy, promising to spill the beans later.

Here’s what happened.

Workers’ Party Has Held an Emergency Meeting Without Leon Perera & Nicole Seah

According to Shin Min Daily News, Low Thia Khiang was the first to arrive at the WP headquarters in Geylang, clocking in at 9:32pm. When probed by reporters, he just flashed a smile and kept mum.

Three minutes later, in comes Jamus Lim, the Member of Parliament for Sengkang GRC. His response to the reporters’ barrage of questions? A simple, “I am here for a meeting.” Is that being…populist?

By 9:36pm, Pritam Singh, the Secretary-General of the Workers’ Party, made his entrance, and the meeting then kicked off. Picture this: the entire four-story Teambuild Centre, shrouded in darkness, with only the Workers’ Party office still buzzing with activity. It’s like a scene straight out of a political thriller.

After a two-hour meeting, Mr Singh was the first to emerge from the office at 11:28pm. When asked about the outcome of the meeting, Mr Singh kept it vague, saying, “The CEC is still deliberating. Once there’s a result, we’ll announce it at an appropriate time.”

And as for the million-dollar question about the alleged affair? He stuck to his earlier stance, promising to explain later.

Now, in case you’ve been living under a rock, or you’re just not a fan of political drama, here’s a gif of the video that set the whole thing in motion:
