David Ong Scandal: Led To Resignation
On March 12, 2016, David Ong, MP for Bukit Batok, abruptly resigned, causing political turmoil in Singapore. His surprise departure was due to an adulterous romance with Wendy Lim, a logistics business worker and married grassroots organizer in his ward.
She was a former Singapore Airlines hostess. David Ong and Wendy Lim, married with three children each, were scrutinized for their involvement in the affair. Before Wendy Lim’s husband complained, the romance was thought to have lasted six months.
The scandal prompted Ms. Lim’s Facebook profile to be turned private after David Ong’s resignation. The Prime Minister’s Office recognized David Ong’s contributions as an MP and to his constituency. The scandal surrounding his extramarital affair forced him to resign from Parliament.
David Ong apologized and sought privacy for himself and his family during recovery. The incident necessitated a Bukit Batok single-seat ward by-election to replace David. The PAP and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong acknowledged the need for a democratic process and constituent input on a new representative.
Where Are David Ong And Wendy Lim Now?
The 2016 extramarital affair between David and Wendy Lim changed their lives, forcing them to live hidden. After their romance was revealed, both tended to shun media and public appearances. David resigned as Bukit Batok MP in 2016 due to “personal indiscretion” when their romance was revealed.
Wendy Lim, the woman accused of the affair, has likewise kept silent. After the affair, nothing is known of David and Wendy Lim’s personal or professional life. They appeared to have disappeared from public life and social media, maybe to focus on their families and private affairs.
Public interest in David Ong and Wendy Lim’s position has lingered since the affair, especially considering recent political scandals involving Singaporean politicians like Tan Chuan Jin and Nicole Seah. They keep a low profile, thus reports about their life are infrequent.
