The People's Action Party (PAP) issued an unsurprisingly response via TODAY, claiming that no PAP volunteer had said that Dr Chee or unemployed people were "worthless".
This follows an online furor over a post made by Facebook user Ridhuan, who said that a PAP volunteer had made that remark to him after he told them that he would go to Dr Chee Soon Juan's rally.
In their statement, the PAP said that it had checked with their volunteers and they said that none of them had made the remark.
PAP Executive Director Alex Yam also noted defensively: “What is telling is that the (Facebook) post claimed that the volunteer had asked Mr Ridhuan Abdullah to attend the PAP rally to show support... There was no PAP rally that day, and neither had any upcoming rally been announced.”
