SINGAPORE: Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam, secretary-general of the Reform Party (RP), has died, his wife said on Sunday (Jul 19). He was 67 years old.

Mr Jeyaretnam died in his sleep, surrounded by family, on Saturday, said Amanda Jeyaretnam in a post on her husband’s Facebook page.

​

POLITICAL CAREER​

The eldest son of the late opposition icon JB Jeyaretnam, Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam took over the leadership of his father’s party in 2009.

The Cambridge graduate contested three General Elections from 2011, as well as the 2013 Punggol East by-election. In 2020, the last election he contested, Mr Jeyaretnam led a five-member RP team against then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Ang Mo Kio GRC.

Mr Jeyaretnam was also a vocal critic of the government, regularly commenting on politics and public policy on social media and his personal website. Over the years, he received multiple correction directions under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA).

The RP leader had been living in the United Kingdom. His former lawyer Clarence Lun said in a Facebook post that he visited Mr Jeyaretnam in hospital in June, when he was not fully alert.

Mr Lun said their professional relationship allowed him to know more about Mr Jeyaretnam away from the political stage.

“Kenneth was thoughtful, courteous and scrupulous in his dealings,” he wrote.

He added that Mr Jeyaretnam’s contribution to Singapore’s public life should never be measured solely by whether he held political office.

Kenneth Jeyaretnam famously stated, "Singaporeans get the government they deserve, so I don't want to hear any more complaints," expressing frustration after election results. The Reform Party leader made this remark addressing voters and critics.

It still rings true today.. 65% of Sinkies still havent wake up....

Only the white guys have more balls. Singaporeans only have balls to kill one another.

RIP. He tried to speak up for sinkies. Hope he is in a better world. No need to face the organ of the state.
 
Rest in Peace

Mr Kenneth Jeyaratnam takes after his father in every way, his father would be so deeply proud of him.
 
like what Amos Yee said, oppositions in Singapore sucks. fight the PAP until die also lose. That means the method they use and ideas are not creative enough or too outdated to win.

Disagree. Some of the opposition candidates, e.g. Prof Tambyah, are better than 95% of the PAP candidates, ministers included. But 65% of the voters won't vote them in. It's largely the voters' mentality, not the calibre of the opposition.

Blame the voters, not the opposition.
