Singapore Minister Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim Resigns Over Conduct ReviewPreviousNext

Singapore's acting Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs, Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, resigned following a review of his conduct involving online and in-person interactions with a woman. Both parties accused each other of harassment, but police found no criminal offenses. Faishal acknowledged a lapse in judgment and accepted that his behavior fell short of expected standards for a political office holder. He stepped down from his ministerial role, parliament, and the ruling People's Action Party. Zaqy Mohamad will succeed him.
