Minister Shanmugam said people want to know what happened and why Faishal resigned.

Faishal had many online conversations with the woman, and his responses were not right.

Faishal was worried the woman would be upset if he stopped talking to her, but she thought he was engaging with her.

There are rules for how politicians should behave in these situations.

If a politician does something wrong in private, it can stay private if they stop and get counselled.

But if the issue becomes public, it must be looked into and action must be taken if necessary.

The woman sent emails and pictures to the Prime Minister, saying Faishal harassed her.

When the woman complained, it was no longer a private matter between two people.

The Prime Minister's Office had to look into the woman's complaint against Faishal.

Faishal was given a fair chance to explain himself.

Faishal should not have kept talking to the woman and should have set boundaries.

Minister Shanmugam has known Faishal for over 20 years and says he is a good person who wants to help others.

Minister Shanmugam and Faishal worked together in the same area for 15 years.

Faishal was moving to a new area and was also a Senior Minister of State before he resigned.

Minister Shanmugam thinks Faishal is one of the best people he has met, and he is hardworking and honest.

Faishal helped people in his area with things like buying groceries and celebrating diversity.

People in Faishal's old area are shocked and sad that he resigned, and they think he is a sincere leader.

Community leaders say Faishal was very involved and close to them, and he helped with many initiatives.

Faishal supported initiatives to help people and worked with organizations during his time as a minister.

He helped launch a campaign to raise awareness about the harms of drugs and worked with a group to counter extremist ideologies.

Minister Shanmugam is sad that Faishal had to resign but hopes he can still contribute to the community in other ways.
