Controversy

Multiple Positions/Directorships Claim

• when he was fielded as candidate for GE2020 in the Marine Parade GRC, a social media post claimed that he was holding 69 positions/directorships in various healthcare companies and questioned whether he would have time and energy to even serve as a part-time MP for Marine Parade GRC if elected
• Tan See Leng clarified he no longer held those positions, as he had resigned from IHH Healthcare at the end of 31 December 2019.
• “With the cessation of my employment, all my directorships of active companies related to the group have also ceased at the end of 31 December 2019. The directorships listed are part of dormant companies in the process of undergoing voluntary liquidation and winding up which do not require any active work nor time.” ~ reported as saying.
• stated that he currently holds four directorships: at Surbana Jurong (paid), social enterprise raiSE (not paid), NUH Fund Ltd (not paid) and NUH Health Research Endowment Fund (not paid). He is also volunteering as an adviser for Temasek Foundation.

Shuttle Service Landmark Controversy

• "There are pictures of other Marine Parade landmarks, including Wisma Geylang Serai, Old Market (sic) Old Airport Road. And these all help our residents, the residents who would like familiarity with these landmarks and people who are familiar to them, to identify the buses." - Alvin Tan, 7 Aug 2024 Parliament Session

• Alvin Tan also said the 'free shuttle bus service' in Marine Parade cluster costs S$1 million a year, mostly funded through donations

• Alvin Tan also mentioned that over 10,000 residents have registered for the shuttle service, with more than 40% being seniors aged 65 and above.

• However, residents there have verified that ridership for the shuttle bus was very low. CNA reported some routes having close to zero passengers at certain times but others having over 20 passengers.

• The MPS who formed part of the landmarks on this shuttle bus include from left to right:
  1. Lim Biow Chua, Mountbatten SMC
  2. Mohd Fahmi Bin Aliman, Marine Parade GRC
  3. Tan See Leng, Marine Parade GRC
  4. Edwin Tong, Marine Parade GRC
  5. Seah Kian Peng, Marine Parade GRC
  6. Tin Pei Ling, MacPherson SMC
