If I am not mistaken, Dr Chee did not put his name to the petition signed by the 170 plus persons in support of AA even if some other SDP members did so. Now, however, SDP (i.e., Dr Chee) comes out with this statement. It is a bit curious. The question that then naturally pops into my mind is...

It seems that more and more people are waking up to the fact of what TJS is all about. They had been misled by initial impressions. At the PE he secured 25.04% of the vote, just a 0.04% margin outside the irreducible core of anti-PAP votes (i.e., 25%), and this despite garnering 80-90%...

There is another that emerged over the past 6 months which has a Southeast Asian (ASEAN) focus but is editorially based in Singapore. http://www.establishmentpost.com/

It could in fact be both of these reasons. SDP, it seems, cannot get away from public perceptions. Contrast that with the 3 people who brought into the WP CEC recently. All 3 were involved in grassroots work before they got co-opted into the WP CEC.

I am curious as to why Prof Tambyah is not a member of the SDP CEC.

Human rights activism and electoral politics do not mix well September 28, 2013 at 7:36pm by Dr Derek da Cunha The recent parting of ways between the Singapore Democratic Party and Dr Vincent Wijeysingha throws a spotlight on whether being a civil society and human rights activist gels...

Voting against the PAP does not mean embracing a liberal agenda by Derek da Cunha Since the 2011 general election, some of the chatter in the online world appears to have misread – either unintentionally or otherwise –the Workers’ Party’s breakthrough in taking down a GRC (Group...

SDP cultivating the ground is perfectly fine and in fact shows its commitment to gear itself up for the next GE. What is also perfectly fine is for Netizens to offer critiques of the various parties. Nothing wrong with that. But what is not so fine is when an identified member of an...

I offer a different take on this. The ground is already so polarized between the anti-PAP and pro-PAP elements. Thus, the views of these 2 camps will not change arising from this fiasco. Instead, the anti-PAP camp will simply harden its stance against the PAP. However, the views of these...

Hope individual biographies can be posted so that we voters can get to know the members better.

Without a doubt a WP-organized event at HLP will draw many thousands. And perhaps at the appropriate time there will be such an event.

I wonder whether Dr Lim will be an SDP candidate.

SDP should continue focusing on such issues, more especially bread-and-butter issues.

That's an interesting perspective. Many Malays are known to vote for PAP. So, perhaps, SDP wishes to draw to itself some of this segment of voters.

This is a manifestation of a larger issue: that employees in many organisations often see things that they are uncomfortable about but they never say anything about them. Who do they say to? Often the avenue to make complaints does not exist. And whistle-blowers often face severe...

Strong likelihood that CCS will be PM by 2020.

Virtually all the sociopolitical bloggers have their own particular line and agenda. That is fine as long as their analysis is based on facts.

An opportunity for SDP's CEC could to refresh its ranks with new blood.

SDP is making efforts in the right direction. Can't quarrel with that.

This would make sense. Even PAP introduces its own candidates a few months before the polls.
