Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan urged Singaporeans not to be afraid to “rock the boat” during uncertain times so that they can send a loud and clear message to the People’s Action Party (PAP) at the coming election.

Said Dr Chee: “Singaporeans must understand that the boat is sinking. If you don’t start paddling, if you just remain still so that you don’t rock the boat, it is going to sink. It is already happening, even before Covid-19 hit, and it is going to continue and just worsen the situation.”

Dr Chee, the SDP’s secretary-general, made the remarks during an online session yesterday on Zoom, during which he fielded questions from about a dozen journalists. The session was also live-streamed on Facebook.

Dr Chee said Singapore has just come out of a very restrictive circuit breaker. The Government has spent some $93 billion to help boost the economy, and help businesses and struggling Singaporeans, and “we have to paddle very hard right now to make sure we get to shore”.
