The dummy's guide to Singapore's political parties: The PPP edition

[ad_1]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should have some inkling of the People’s Action Party (PAP) and the Workers’ Party (WP).

But what about RP? Or PSP? Or SDP? If these acronyms mean nothing to you, then you’re in the right place.

In this series — a cheat sheet of sorts — we sieve out the facts you ought to know about Singapore’s political parties.

By the end of this, you should have a better idea of the parties who may be contesting in the upcoming general election and what they’re all about.

Our next party may be one of the newest on the scene, but it’s helmed by veteran politician Goh Meng Seng

People’s Power Party

When were they formed?

Goh started out in politics in 2001 under the WP banner before joining the National Solidarity Party (NSP) in 2007.

After quitting NSP in 2011, he resurfaced before the 2015 election with the announcement that he would set up a new political party, PPP.
