Sembawang Town Council has addressed allegations made by Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan that it denied permission for the party to hold a town hall meeting.  In a TikTok video posted on Dr Chee's account on Monday (April 7), he said he had written to the town council for a space to discuss mental health with residents but was rejected. He also expressed concern that the town council was unfairly targeting the opposition, displaying images of People's Action Party (PAP) members distributing food to residents, implying it was a case of «double standards». In a Facebook statement on Tuesday (April 8), the town council clarified that Dr Chee's claims of double standards were «untrue», stating that common spaces are intended for «recreation, community activities, and providing assistance to residents in need», and that it «does not permit political activities to be conducted».
