@channelnewsasia: “When I first saw it, my initial reaction was disbelief and shock. I thought that the contents were fabricated, but as it turns out, unfortunately they were genuine”: Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong addressed the resignation of Assoc Prof Faishal Ibrahim from his political roles on Wednesday (Jul 22), saying it was the right course of action for him to step down. “Some have asked if the consequences were overly harsh. Faishal himself, reflecting on the matter, realised that it was not tenable for him to continue as an office holder and as an MP,” Mr Wong said. #sgnews #singapore
