SINGAPORE - Singapore's People Party member Ravi Philemon has reported the Swami (Sunshine Welfare Action Mission) Home in Sembawang to the Registry of Societies for allowing the People's Action Party (PAP) to introduce its candidates there last week.
Mr Philemon, who works for a voluntary welfare organisation, noted that Swami's constitution states that it should not " indulge in any political activity or allow its funds and / or premises to be used for political purposes".
The PAP had unveiled its candidates for Sembawang GRC at the home on Aug 14.

"I ask that the Registrar investigate if the Society had breached its own constitution by allowing a political activity to take place on its premise," said Mr Philemon in an e-mail to Registrar, Mr Marvin Sim, which was also sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs. He posted a screenshot of the e-mail on Facebook.
PAP's Mr Khaw Boon Wan, who is National Development Minister and anchor minister for the Sembawang GRC team, had said at the Aug 14 event that the Swami Home was chosen because the rent was affordable, and fit Singapore's culture of not spending excessively on election campaigns.
