SINGAPORE – Two former Progress Singapore Party (PSP) members have registered a new political party named Red Dot United, with the intention of contesting the next general election.
Ravi Philemon and Michelle Lee, who resigned separately from the party led by Dr Tan Cheng Bock earlier this year, said they submitted the application for the party to the Registry of Societies on Tuesday (May 26). The party currently has 12 members aged between 25 and 55.
If approved, it will bring the total number of opposition parties here up to 12.
Philemon, who will be the secretary-general of Red Dot United, said during a virtual media conference: “Our goal is to build a political-social platform, and not just another political party. Matters of government and policy must be accessible and easily understood by all Singaporeans, whether old or young, or a new citizen.”
He said that as the world and Singapore are changing, even before the Covid-19 pandemic struck, Singaporeans need to be more politically active to get the Government to focus on issues which affect ordinary Singaporeans, instead of just trusting their leaders.
