Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss
Jeannette Florina Chong-Aruldoss Yean Yoong (born 27 May 1963) is a Singaporean lawyer and politician. She started her political career by joining the Reform Party (RP) in 2009. In 2011, she left RP to join the National Solidarity Party (NSP) where she served as the NSP's secretary-general from October 2013 to January 2015. In April 2015, Chong-Aruldoss left NSP, after a failed leadership challenge, to join the Singapore People's Party (SPP) which she left in 2019.
Chong-Aruldoss was educated at CHIJ Katong Convent before she read law at the University of Kent at Canterbury and completed a Bachelor of Laws (honours) in 1985. In 1987, she completed a Master of Laws in corporate and commercial law at the London School of Economics.
Chong-Aruldoss qualified as a barrister-at-law at Gray's Inn in 1986 and became an advocate and solicitor in Singapore in 1989. She began her legal career at Allen & Gledhill LLP. In 2001, she co-founded Archilex Law Corporation, a founding member of Mozaic Group Law Practice. She is currently a consultant at Robert Wang & Woo LLP and an accredited mediator at the Singapore Mediation Centre.
Chong-Aruldoss entered politics in 2009 and eventually became a member of the Reform Party's central executive committee. She left the Reform Party on 18 February 2011 due to "differences of opinion".
In 2011, Chong-Aruldoss joined the National Solidarity Party (NSP), and stood for election as a NSP candidate during the general election that year in Mountbatten SMC. However, she lost to Lim Biow Chuan, the candidate from the governing People's Action Party (PAP), after getting 41.38% of the vote against Lim's 58.62%.
On 27 October 2013, Chong-Aruldoss was elected the secretary-general of the NSP following the resignation of her predecessor, Hazel Poa.
In January 2015, Chong-Aruldoss challenged Sebastian Teo for the position of president of the NSP but was voted out of the NSP's central executive committee.
Chong-Aruldoss eventually left the NSP and joined the Singapore People's Party (SPP) in April 2015. In the general election that year, she contested as a SPP candidate in Mountbatten SMC, but lost to the PAP's Lim again, garnering just 28.14% of the vote against Lim's 71.86%.
