MR BENJAMIN Pwee,the Singapore People's Party's 'star catch' at the recent general election has been named as the party's second assistant secretary-general.A statement released by the party this morning said that Mr Pwee had been co-opted into the central-executive committee with immediate effect.

THE Singapore People's Party (SPP) has given Mrs Lina Chiam, its Potong Pasir candidate at the May 7 general election, the go-ahead to take up the Non-Constituency MP (NCMP) post.The NCMP position is offered to the best-performing opposition candidates in an election.

THE Singapore People's Party (SPP) will announce its decision on the offer of a Non-Constituency MP seat tomorrow. Mrs Lina Chiam, 62, who was offered a seat as one of three top-performing losers from the opposition at the May 7 polls, confirmed that her party discussed the issue at a central executive committee meeting last night, but declined to give details.

THEY may not have won the contest yet, but the Singapore People's Party introduced to Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC residents a group of party volunteers that would form the core of the town council management committee, if its team wins the election.The group includes architect Juliana Juwahir, 38; businessman David Tan, 64, and Potong Pasir town councillor S Kunalen, 53.

NOW that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has apologised, other ministers and MPs should do so as well.The Singapore People's Party joined the chorus of opposition voices attacking PM Lee's admission two days ago that his party had made some mistakes.
