Six leaders quit Chiam's Singapore People's Party
The test of a political party's viability.
Chiam is a legend but the disparate state of the party only goes to show that he was running a one-man show. His wife Nina who took over the party reins after the opposition leader was taken ill by a stroke is barely capable of holding the party together after election losses last year. Though a cheerful and personable character, the former housewife lacks depth in political acumen and is suited for the rough tumbles of realpolitik.
Sad to say, the SPP's loss is an indirect gain for the ruling dominant PAP who will be quietly gloating at the disunity and organisational weakness of the opposition.
