SINGAPORE – The leak of a recording from a closed-door meeting between Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) members and minister Chan Chun Sing is “deeply disappointing” and a betrayal of trust, the chamber’s president said on Tuesday (Feb 18).

In a letter to members seen by The Straits Times, Mr Roland Ng said the chamber is investigating the matter, which has “serious implications” on its standing, on Singapore and on Mr Chan, who is the Trade and Industry Minister.

This came after a 25-minute recording of Mr Chan’s remarks during the meeting last Monday (Feb 10), which covered the coronavirus outbreak and the current economic situation, among other issues, was circulated widely on social media and messaging apps like WhatsApp.

In his letter, Mr Ng said members had been informed multiple times that the meeting was off-the-record. The recording was thus “a clear breach of trust”.
