Tanglin Club embroiled in saga involving university qualifications of president who has since stepped down

SINGAPORE - Two weeks after the president of the Tanglin Club resigned amid questions about his university qualifications, the matter is still boiling over.

The club elects a new president yearly, and the president, vice-president and honorary treasurer can serve a maximum of three one-year terms.On July 14, Mr Yeoh, a former journalist who went into banking and is now with a global bank, resigned as president.

He also said in the same e-mail that there had been police reports filed against him over the past few months and"tips" given to the media.The Straits Times understands that the events that led to Mr Yeoh's resignation began on May 12 when some concerns were raised with the club's general manager, Mr David Brightling.

But further checks by a member and the club's general committee showed he did not graduate from the University of Melbourne.The nature of the police report is unclear.
