Amidst the saga of Tiong Bahru FC Chairman Bill Ng's $500,000 donation to the Football Association of Singapore (FAS), local alternative news website The Independent Singapore alleged in a 28 April 2017 article that Mr Bill Ng made a $100,000 donation to the PAP's Community Foundation Bishan-Toa Payoh branch in 2014 at the behest of Mr Zainudin Nordin, then a PAP MP for the Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.

It is unclear at this point if any laws have been broken over the donation, but when contacted, a spokesman for national sports agency Sport Singapore said: “We have requested FAS to provide full details on the donations and we are looking into the matter” – has any governance or other issues been breached with reference to the guidelines for IPC institutions? As to “The one man in the middle of the debate who has not been heard from so far is Mr Zainudin. When The Straits Times approached the former Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC MP, he said he is unaware of the latest developments and will not comment for now. He said: “I already said I won’t be commenting. I’m not running in the election.”

As election fever heats up at the Football Association of Singapore (FAS), the controversy over a $500,000 donation by Bill Ng to the FAS continues to play out in the public eye. According to Bill Ng, who is leading a team of opposition leaders to vie for the management of FAS, he donated $500,000 to FAS for the betterment of Singapore football.

In light of the statements that have been made by various parties, it is the Team Game Changers’ unified and common belief that there must be full transparency and accountability in the way Singapore Football is managed and administered, and that conclusions drawn are based on facts ascertained, rather than through hearsay.
