Goh Chok Tong
Just after the trial, when Tan Choo Leng, patron of the NKF and wife of former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, was interviewed, she commented that "$600,000 per year is peanuts compared to the reserves the NKF has." This then sparked the "Peanut Controversy", in which the public was irked by this comment. The public then called for her to apologise for this statement, which Goh Chok Tong did on behalf of his wife.
