Timeline
On 11 January 2018, Chong was appointed chairman of the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods. His appointment attracted controversy as he is accused of spreading falsehood during the 2015 general election by insinuating that Punggol East SMC ran into financial troubles after the Workers' Party took over from PAP in 2013.
In Dec 2016, Chong announced he was diagnosed with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis three years ago and had a liver transplant on 1 Dec 2016, which his younger son Glenn, donated part of his liver. He was given 8 weeks Medical Leave and his duty was covered by Teo Chee Hean during his absence.
In the 2015 general elections, the PAP fielded Chong in the opposition-held Punggol East SMC and unseated the incumbent Lee Li Lian of the Workers' Party with 51.76% of the vote. His victory was brought into question by Workers' Party Png Eng Huat because he had made a wild accusation against the Punggol East Town Council of missing funds worth $22.5 million just three days before polling.
Chong contested the Joo Chiat SMC in the 2011 general elections after its incumbent MP, Chan Soo Sen, retired from politics. He won 9,666 or 51.02% of the votes against Yee Jenn Jong from the Workers' Party. Chong was elected Deputy Speaker in the 12th Parliament.
In the 2006 general elections, the PAP contested Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC against the Singapore Democratic Alliance. The PAP won with 68.70% of the votes in this GRC. In the 2001 general elections, the GRC was not contested and resulted in a walkover for Chong and his party in this GRC.
Chong represented Sembawang Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in Yishun East from 1988 to 1991, and Eunos GRC between 1991 and 1996 in Pasir Ris, Pasir Ris GRC in Elias from 1997 to 2001, Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC in Punggol Central from 2001 to 2011, and Joo Chiat Single Member Constituency (SMC) from 2011 to 2015. He currently represents Punggol East SMC, and has done so since 2015.
Charles Chong You Fook (simplified Chinese: 张有福 ; traditional Chinese: 張有福 ; pinyin: Zhāng Yǒufú , born 24 June 1953) is a Singaporean politician.
