Singapore has a new Speaker of Parliament.

Following a nomination by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Seah Kian Peng was elected by the Singapore Parliament to replace former Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin, who resigned on July 17 due to personal scandals.

In addition, Tan Chuan-Jin has also been criticized for making "unconventional parliamentary remarks" directed at a member of the opposition Workers' Party in Parliament last April.

In his inaugural address, Seah Kian Peng pledged to perform his duties objectively, steadfastly, and fairly. The new Speaker of the Singapore Parliament also urged MPs to exercise caution in their personal conduct and to remember and fulfill their responsibilities with dignity and unwavering commitment.

Singapore's Speaker of Parliament, Seah Kian Peng, is 61 years old and has been involved in politics since 2006. He previously served as Deputy Speaker of Parliament from 2011 to 2016.
