A Hougang resident has filed a police report regarding Police report Lee Bee Wah
Ms Lee Bee Wah’s appearance at a Hungry Ghost
Festival, also known as the lunar Seventh Month Festival, getai performance in Nee Soon on 4 September, The Online Citizen (TOC) has learnt.

Ms Lee is the People’s Action Party (PAP) candidate for Nee Soon GRC, and the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area before the dissolution of Parliament for the ongoing elections.

In a statement on 14 August, the Singapore Police Force had warned that election activities and Seventh Month Festival activities are to be kept separate. The onus is on Festival event organisers to ensure no speeches canvassing support for candidates or political parties take place at the events, according to the police statement.

The resident’s police report referenced a TOC article, which included a photograph by a member of the public showing Ms Lee on the getai stage with performers.

Following this article, another member of the public
wrote in to TOC to say that the emcee had introduced
Ms Lee and identified her as the PAP candidate for Nee
Soon GRC. The emcee then asked the audience to support Ms Lee and vote for her. During this time, Ms Lee shook hands with the audience. The incident took place over 20 minutes. Ms Lee was dressed in the all-white colours of the PAP at the event.

Since this incident on 4 September, citizens have reported the appearance of at least eight PAP candidates at various getai events around the country.

One incident saw PAP’s Mr Teo Ser Luck, Mr Gan Thiam Poh and Ms Sun Xueling, who are contesting Pasir Ris-Ponggol GRC as the incumbents, at a getai event at Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park on 5 September.

That same weekend, photographs of Mr Ang Hin Kee, the incumbent PAP candidate for the Ang Mo Kio GRC team led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, at another getai event surfaced online.

On 6 Sep, another TOC reader wrote in with photographs and a video of Mr Gan Kim Yong, Ms Low Yen Ling and Mr Zaqy Mohamed, three of the four PAP candidates for Chua Chu Kang GRC, at a “getai community event”, according to a man wearing a Residents’ Committee T-shirt.

At the time of writing, no known action has been taken by the police regarding these apparent contraventions of the 14 August police warning. There are no reports about candidates from other political parties appearing at getai events.
