SINGAPORE: The National Solidarity Party's Secretary-General, Goh Meng Seng, says he has been approached by the Singapore Democratic Party's Tan Jee Say to discuss a possible merger between the two parties.

Mr Goh says the idea was put forth after the General Election, and he will raise it for discussion at his party's next Central Executive Committee meeting on Thursday.

He expects the discussion to take some time.

When contacted, Mr Tan acknowledged the casual conversation took place over breakfast on a morning after the election.

He said SDP's Secretary-General, Dr Chee Soon Juan, had in fact encouraged him to initiate the conversation. He added the party is always open to greater cooperation for opposition unity.

Mr Tan said the merger would allow more efficient use of resources. He said the idea also resonated with voters and supporters.

Mr Tan was one of 11 candidates fielded by the SDP in this year's election. The former principal private secretary to then Deputy Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong contested in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC.

The team garnered almost 40 per cent of valid votes in the GRC.

Mr Goh's NSP fielded the most number of candidates in the election, but did not win any seats in Parliament.

NO lah, it is complementary and will strengthen the opposition. I forsee PAP is finished in 5 years time if that happened.

Knn , 2 hailum ah kors wanna merge their parties. Not advisable.
Ego aside , Tan should defect to NSP.
With Dr. Chee at SDP's helm ( Tan and gang ) can forget about winning anything in 2016 or 2021.

A NSP-SDP merge seems to be more of an idea of a small fish wanting to eat a big fish.

SDP knows that in order to continue their dream, they need manpower and influence. So who would they look for? WP will never merge with SDP because of SDP's difference of idea and approach. SPP might be weaken but they do have a brand name and yet, would never merge with SDP cause SPP itself was a breakaway from SDP and there is no trust of whhat Chee and his old gang would do. SDA and RP and both gone case. So where else to look but NSP?

However, what would NSP gain from such a merger? maybe abit more in terms of manpower, but how about more liablities and possible lawsuits? NSP is just starting to build back up and though the progress is limited, the movement is still better than what SDP could ever have.and if such a merge were to take place, who is to lead? and would SDP perform a coup within the merge?

I rather NSP merge with SPP. They share the same idealogy and they are equally trusted to each other. Liablities are non-existences and the members are in better harmony.

TJS should merge with Nicole Seah only. Call themselves the TJS (Tan Jee Seah) Party!

The merger will only work if GMS and CSJ both step down from leadership position and let the new guards completely take over. I see a lot of potential from the new NSP and SDP candidates in this election.

Only good potential is Jee Say and Nicole.

Re: any oppositons party merger with the Street Demonstration Party will be finnish !

the way i see it, there were some strong candidates in SDP, while NSP fielded many young blood for this GE. maybe the initiative to merge is to have a better mix of age & caliber demographics, in preparation for the nxt GE.

both teams had a lot of heart, but will need a bit of fine tuning to secure better votes. but the moement the 2 merge, there will be some spillage, and in time to come, there will also be some power struggle - beginning with, who's banner to use? who shall have the loudest say? who will be the secretary general?

maybe it would be wiser to exchange pointers, instead of merging. after all, there have been more ppl from walks of life flocking in as volunteers to boost the respective parties.
