About
The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) was formed in 2019 by former People’s Action Party member Tan Cheng Bock. Tan is the current Secretary-General.
Tan claims that his decision to form a new political party was motivated by the erosion of good governance, independence, and accountability. According to the PSP’s vision statement, the party envisions “a compassionate Singapore, committed to reducing income inequality”, and a Singapore which “values diverse opinions and ideas, built on the foundations of accountability, transparency and independence of the three branches of government – the Parliament, the Civil Service and the Courts”.
We believe that the PSP stands center-left, while also displaying elements of a “Singaporeans first” platform, calling upon the government to prioritise Singaporeans.
