These appointments, apart from her position as an elected MP, raised eyebrows as there are overlapping aspects of the duties as a Director of Public Affairs and Policy at Grab. And this would be the case if my intentions and actions in the future are always called into doubt, whether justified or not.” The Singapore global company is involved in data security, artificial intelligence and automation. While she would make it clear that she was engaging in her private capacity and not as a PAP MP, there could still be challenges in carrying out these responsibilities, especially under the current circumstances.” Pei Ling informed her party leaders who did not object to her appointment.” But I would never want it to hinder my ability to serve my constituents well as MP, or to do my job at Grab effectively. It said it also established rules of engagement where Ms Tin should not be advocating for Grab’s interest in her capacity as an MP, and correspondingly, she should also not be advocating for her constituency and party in her work within Grab. “Most PAP backbench MPs have private careers.

SINGAPORE — Singapore’s ruling party, the People’s Action Party (PAP), did not know the scope of Ms Tin Peiling’s appointment as Director of Public Affairs and Policy when it gave the go-ahead for her to assume the position.

After backlash about her public affairs role, Tin Pei Ling assumes duties as the Director of Corporate Development at Grab instead.

I understand and have long come to accept the public scrutiny that comes with being an MP. “It then became clear to the Party that she would be expected to engage regularly with Government ministries and agencies on public policy issues on behalf of Grab,” the PAP said. She was expecting her role to be a chance for her to “contribute to society”. According to Ms Tin, she had informed the PAP of her possible employment, as well as the nature of her role at Grab, in mid-2022.
