Edwin Tong became an MP in 2011. Back in 2012, he was asked by the ST what he spent his MP allowance on.
Edwin does not spend his MP allowance on himself.
He told ST that when he became MP, he opened a separate bank account for his monthly MP allowance, which he only uses for MP-related purposes.
These include dinners with grassroots activists and charitable donations.
He does not see the allowance as income for himself, and having a separate bank account makes it more transparent, he said at that time.
He is the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth and Second Minister for Law.
