"This statement imputed improper motives to me as he had claimed I was advocating for rent control when I had not made any such statement during the debate", Mr Leong wrote on his Facebook page
Progress Singapore Party’s Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Mr Leong said that the Hansard for the debate on the Lease Agreements for Retail Premises Bill during the parliamentary sitting on 3 August 2023 shows that Mr Murali appears to have said that “[t]he hon Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Mr Leong Mun Wai had advocated some form of low-rent control”.
Subsequently, when I rose to clarify this statement with Mr Murali, he appears to have stated three times that he did not assert that I had advocated “some form of low-rent control” in my speech, despite expressly doing so earlier in his statement, and refused to retract said statement”, Mr Leong wrote.
