The Workers’ Party (WP) has set up a charity fund to run community programmes like financial aid, food distribution and health screenings.
The WP Community Fund (WPCF) is structured like the PAP Community Foundation (PCF), the ruling party’s charity arm.
The WPCF was registered as a company limited by guarantee in January this year and accepted by the authorities as a charity in February.
The party has been low key about the fund’s existence, but according to company and charity records obtained by The Straits Times last week, its board of 10 directors includes WP secretary-general Low Thia Khiang as chairman, and Members of Parliament Png Eng Huat, Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap and Lee Li Lian.
