- Future - Steve Chia ?
Steve Chia Kiah Hong is the current Treasurer of the National Solidarity Party (NSP). He served as a Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) from 2001 to 2006, during which time the NSP was part of the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA).
Whilst serving as a NCMP, he was involved in a scandal when topless photos of his maid were discovered by his wife in his computer's "recycle bin". His wife lodged a police report. Mr Chia insisted that his maid had agreed to pose for the photos and that he did not force her to do so. He noted that he had an interest in nude photography, and even showed the press nude photos that he had taken of himself. In 2006, Chia was fined following an incident when he drove a car through a red light, causing a crash with a bus.
Steve Chia posted on his facebook that I will not be standing for this coming #GE2015 and will not be contesting in #MacPhersonSMC anymore. He wishes WP well and encourage them to send a strong candidate and take down MacPherson SMC and take #KateSpade out of Parliament.
Rumors is swirling that it was due to a smear campaign by WP's supporters whom created a website baring all his colorful past: http://openmata.wix.com/stevechia
NSP a.k.a "The Original Spidey"
In the latest media release by Ms Hazel Poa, she alarmingly states that unlike other political party structures, the leader of NSP Party is the President, Mr Sebastian Teo Kway Huang and not the Secretary-General. She added that in NSP, the role of the Sec-Gen is merely that of a media spokesperson..... O_O''
With its frequent change of leadership and plans, it is hard to fathom what is NSP's next move and their concrete plans for Singapore. On 17 Aug 2015, the CEC of NSP decided to support Steve Chia’s request to contest in MacPherson SMC in a 3 cornered fight against WP and PAP after initially agreeing to withdraw. On 22nd Aug, Steve Chia suddenly announced his withdrawal from contesting in MacPherson SMC... So now.. is NSP going to send a New candidates or are they officially withdrawing from MaPherson SMC .... ?
Watch this Space... Amazingly Spidey... the intriguing web of NSP's keeps spinning.........
