SINGAPORE (AFP) — A tough-talking new political party vowed on Friday to fight what it called the "enslavement" of Singapore after nearly half-a-century of rule by the People's Action Party (PAP).
"Our people have been enslaved all this while," J.B. Jeyaretnam, 82, interim secretary general of the Reform Party, told a news conference.
He said Singaporean society has been "castrated" and its people left powerless by an executive that holds "absolute power."
