PAP MP Murali Pillai has hit out against a “scurrilous attack” made on his family through a post about his son which he linked to the announcement of his standing for re-election.

Mr Murali, who was elected into Parliament in 2016, said the post surfaced “minutes after election has been declared in Bukit Batok SMC” on Tuesday (June 30).

Though he did not go into details, Mr Murali, 52, said in his video message to Bukit Batok residents: “My son was a victim, of a scandal. He also committed offences.

“The court has dealt with all these matters. The perpetrators behind the scandal have been dealt with.

“He himself has been dealt with and is serving sentence.”

Mr Murali, a lawyer, said the timing of the post “leaves nothing to imagination”.

Earlier, it was announced that Mr Murali was set for a rematch of the 2016 by-election contest he had with Dr Chee Soon Juan of the Singapore Democratic Party after the pair submitted their nomination papers.
