Foreign Minister George Yeo has rallied behind film-maker Jack Neo.
Revealing that Jack Neo called him with a confession about his extramarital affair with Wendy Chong on BlogKaki.sg before the story broke in the Lianhe Wanbao.
Jack Neo, his wife and children are going through an ordeal. Reports about
his infidelity will make the rounds and cause pain and embarrassment.
Before the news broke on Saturday evening, Jack called to tell me. He
wanted to tell me himself and not have me learn from newspaper reports.
Giving me the background, he was full of remorse, adding that his wife and
children were angry with him for what he did. I listened to what he said
with great sadness and said he was right to admit wrong and face up to his
responsibility. I was concerned for his wife. When he told me that his
wife was beside him, I asked to speak to her and pledged my full support to
them.Life is a long and often difficult journey, and what Jack and his family
are going through is what he might have presented in his own movie, except
that this time it is about himself. We are used to having Jack make us
laugh, bring cheer to our daily lives, explain our trials and make them
easier to bear. Let us rally around Jack, his wife and his children at
this time.

Yes!!! I can’t wait to see the movie about himself….Jack I’ll give you my support, quick make that movie happen!! Ooh… will you be using Wendy Chong just to make it more interesting? hahaaaa
Pls…as a Minister I am not sure why you want to rally behind him…are you trying to tell all Singaporean that it is ok to have affairs so long as you dont break your family and admit your mistake. As a Minister please remember your words and action do cast an influence on the rest of the people.
Rally behind his through tough times. As stated, it’s right to admit wrong as trust is broken. Let’s not take it out of context.
Jack made a mistake, he admitted it in front of the press. Isn’t that enough?
I think it is not right for any government officials, more so a senior Minister or MP, to have come out in support of Jack Neo. And as a taxpayer, I have a right to say it is unbecoming behaviour I expect of a Minister or any elected officials. What does it say about our government’s moral values and constant emphasis on family values and women’s rights when it comes out in support of not just a serial adulterer but a serial sexual harasser who preys on young vulnerable girls? You can call it what you want and try and blame the girls but it is sexual harassment and he is a sexual predator when a man who is their boss, in a position of power and influence, double their age, preys on teenage girls. Does George Yeo or Lim Biow Chuan have any teenage daughters? Would they have been as supportive if they were his daughters?
