Kenneth Jeyaretnam accuses former RP members of smashing RP HQ door

Reform Party Secretary-General Kenneth Jeyaretnam alerted the police upon discovering that the entrance door at the Reform Party HQ has been tampered with.

He told Wanbao that the glass panel of the entrance door was broken and he suspected that the glass panel was smashed by former Reform Party members.

Readers told Wanbao the air was tense when they saw 4 police cars stopped outside the Reform Party HQ. Police officers wearing gloves were seen rushing into the Reform Party HQ to survey the crime scene.

Mr Jeyaretnam told reporters that he discovered the glass panel of the entrance door was smashed and there were broken glass bits on the floor. He also added that he was worried about theft, so he made a police report yesterday afternoon.

Furthermore, according to Mr Jeyaretnam, a former RP member had informed a RP member that a group of former RP members was responsible for tampering the door.

However, there were no signs of ransacking and confidential party documents appeared untouched.
