  • 17 July 2023 - resigned from PAP, which effectively vacated her position as MP after Lee Hsien Loong revealed that Cheng, who was not married, was carrying on an extramarital affair with fellow married MP and Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin (a father of two) since at least November 2020
  • ex-MP of Tampines GRC[1]
  • ex-PAP member
  • as of Feb 2025, she still holds directorships[2][3], among them:
  1. Independent Non-Executive Director at Sheng Siong Group Ltd

Early Political Career

  • when interviewed in 2015, she revealed she had 12 years of grassroots experience, beginning in Bukit Panjang.[4]

Early Life and Education

  • went to Bukit Panjang Government High School
  • attended Anglo-Chinese Junior College
  • graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Arts degree
  • completed a Master of Applied Finance degree at Macquarie University, Australia

Controversies

  • after eight years as an MP, Cheng Li Hui resigned 17 July 2023 after Lee Hsien Loong revealed that she had been having an affair with Speaker of Parliament and fellow PAP MP Tan Chuan-Jin since at least 2020
  • despite being spoken to and counseled, most recently in February 2023, both she and Tan Chuan-Jin went on with their "inappropriate relationship".
  • both tendered their resignation on the same day. However, the brevity of her resignation letter was a sharp contrast to Tan Chuan-Jin's 2-page letter.[5]
