Mr David Goh, brother of the secretary-general of National Solidarity party, Mr Goh Meng Seng, passed away on Thursday morning. Mr Goh was only 56 years old and had no prior major illnesses before his death from a sudden cardiac arrest.

Mr David Goh was a member of Workers’ Party since 2005.  He helped Workers’ Party in their 2006 General Election (GE) campaign. Recently he decided to help his younger brother in his campaign in Tampines GRC. The elder Mr Goh was the principal election agent for Tampines GRC.

“He led the entire machinery of our campaign in Tampines GRC”, says Mr Goh Meng Seng. “The stress of the campaign trail killed him. But I don’t want the demise of my brother to side-track NSP from our mission in this GE.  My brother’s last wish was also that the fight should go on”, he adds.

The younger Mr Goh says that he will not let this tragedy in his family affect him from leading NSP to victory in this GE. Mr Goh pays tribute to his late brother saying, “My brother is one of the many unsung heroes of democracy.”

Mr David Goh is also a friend to many at The Online Citizen.  TOC expresses our heartfelt condolences to the late Mr Goh’s family.

TOC will bring you details of Mr David Goh’s wake as soon as we have them.

杨莉明发律师信 网民Donald Liew 道歉

昨日(20日),人力部长杨莉明以个人名义透过律师信,要求社运份子范国瀚以及名为Donald Liew的人士,撤回有关指责她与丈夫涉嫌从设立社区护理设施牟利的言论。 据了解,今日上午Donald Liew已在脸书作出毫无保留道歉,也删除早前贴文,承认有关指控不实。不过,范国瀚至截稿为止仍未有针对此事,作出声明。 杨莉明在律师信的声明中澄清,有关项目是由盛裕控股集团,与卫生部和国家发展部直接洽谈。 “我与我的丈夫都未曾参与有关项目的授权或金钱交易”。因此,她反驳早前有关牟取暴利和贪污的指控是不实的。 另一方面,卫生部和国家发展部也发表联合文告,驳斥有关指控。 文告称,淡马锡接下任务时同意,该集团和相关公司,将以成本价或低于成本的价格完成任务,不会从中牟利。而淡马锡在确认了博览中心这个地点后,就要求盛裕集团协助,设立社区护理设施。 至于杨莉明表示,若对方撤回指控并道歉,自己无意继续追究此事或要求赔偿。与此同时,也要求上述二人捐赠1000元,给客工援助基金。
