An attempt by Singapore Democratic Party’s (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan to literally walk the talk has been shelved after the party could not secure a permit from the police.
SDP’s application to hold a three-day fundraising event was rejected on the basis that it could cause crowds to gather, Dr Chee said on Facebook today (June 24).
Dr Chee had originally planned a one-man islandwide walkathon, called Walk The Talk, to raise funds for SDP.
According to him, the police had explained that cause-based activities, even if carried out by an individual, could result in crowds gathering.
Dr Chee questioned the decision, writing: “But how is this different from when I go on a walkabout? If the authorities are afraid of activities that might cause crowds to gather during the Covid pandemic, why call for elections now?”
SDP said in a separate statement today that it remains “undaunted” and appealed for its followers to donate or buy its merchandise to help its campaign.
