Singaporean former Acting Minister Faishal Ibrahim is in talks with the National University of Singapore (NUS) to return to his position, nearly a month after his resignation was announced, according to a report from CNA. Faishal resigned from his roles as a Member of Parliament and the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) on July 20, surprising many Singaporeans who had even circulated a petition requesting his second chance.
Faishal has a long-standing connection with the university, having completed his undergraduate and graduate degrees in real estate management, and subsequently becoming a senior tutor, Associate Professor, and researcher. In the wake of his resignation, Faishal admitted to a lapse of judgment in his conduct with a female member of the public, stating that his actions were inconsistent with his responsibilities and leading him to step away from politics to focus on his family.
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong accepted Faishal's resignation, and now NUS and Faishal are discussing the terms of his potential return.
