Singapore Democrats
The Today newspaper wrote to Dr Chee Soon Juan asking for his response to Mr Chiam See Tong's criticisms about the SDP. Its Senior Reporter, Mr Loh Chee Kong, said that he had interviewed Mr Chiam on Wednesday in which Mr Chiam said that the Singapore Democrats had engaged in "conspiratorial and destructive politics."
Mr Loh wanted Dr Chee's "take on what had happened within the SDP then" and what is Dr Chee's present relationship with Mr Chiam. He added that Mr Chiam was sore that he was "forced out" of the party he founded. Mr Loh said that the story is slated to be published in this Saturday's edition of the newspaper. Read Dr Chee's reply to Mr Loh:
As apparent during the interview, Mr Chiam was still upset over the way he felt he was "forced out"-- in his words -- of the party he had founded. He was visibly sore that there were people in the party then who failed to understand his vision of a "two-party system" and were more interested in engaging in what he called "conspiratorial and destructive politics". Mr Chiam added that he is not on speaking terms with you because of what had happened.
