SINGAPORE - The top job at Singapore’s largest motor association was filled on Wednesday evening, following two months of disputes and court challenges by contenders.

The election saga started in September when Mr Neo had forgotten to sign a consent form which candidates have to submit. He was disqualified from running by the association. While Mr Neo and the association agreed to settle amicably during a pre-trial conference on Nov 4, Mr Tang refused to do so and took SVTA to court.Said Mr Neo after Wednesday’s election: “I’m relieved. It was tough as there were challenges that tried to stop me from contesting in this election.”

In a letter sent to the association and seen by The Straits Times, Mr Tang said his stance was that the decision of the executive committee to hold the election was “not constitutional or permissible or valid”.
