Chen Show Mao 'uninvited' from community event
Opposition MP Chen Show Mao uploaded a photo of a note informing him that he had been 'uninvited' from a ghost month dinner on his Facebook page.
CONTROVERSY has broken afresh online after Members of Parliament (MPs) from the opposition ward of Aljunied were "disinvited" to at least one ghost month dinner events.
Workers' Party (WP) MP for Aljunied GRC Chen Show Mao explained on his Facebook page yesterday that he had been scheduled to attend such a dinner last week, but the organisers had called to let him know that they could not have him show up as originally hoped.
Grassroots leaders are often invited to such dinners, held as part of the Chinese Hungry Ghost Month celebrations.
In this case, organisers had – according to Mr Chen's post – been told by the Paya Lebar CCC (Citizens' Consultative Committee under the People's Association) that, as a condition for receiving CCC approval to use a planned venue in the HDB estate, they "may no longer" invite the Aljunied opposition MPs.
