Progress Singapore Party
The Progress Singapore Party (abbreviation: PSP) is a political party in Singapore. It was one of the three political parties represented in the 14th Parliament, alongside the governing People's Action Party (PAP) and the fellow opposition Workers' Party (WP); Leong Mun Wai and Hazel Poa represented it as non-constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs).
The PSP was founded in 2019 by 11 members, including former PAP politician Tan Cheng Bock, allegedly to address PAP leadership decisions; Lee Hsien Yang, the estranged brother of then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, supported it. It held multiple talks and walkabouts throughout 2019, ahead of the 2020 general election, where it contested in nine constituencies. While defeated in all nine constituencies, the party became eligible for two NCMP seats, which Leong and Poa accepted. The two had been part of the PSP team for West Coast Group Representation Constituency (GRC), which garnered 48.32% of the vote.
In the 2025 general election, the PSP contested in six constituencies and faced a significant decline in support. It garnered 4.88% of the nationwide popular vote, and was not offered NCMP seats.
The PSP was founded in 2019 by Tan Cheng Bock and 11 other members. They, together with Lee Hsien Yang, the estranged brother of then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, expressed that the existing PAP leadership had "lost its way" and deviated from the party's founding principles.
The party was officially registered on 28 March 2019 with 12 members after being approved by the Registry of Societies. Tan said that the registration was the result of an erosion of governmental transparency, independence and accountability. Job creation was also cited as a main focus.
On 29 September 2019, Tan led about 300 party members and volunteers during the PSP's first official island-wide walkabout. The walkabout, named "29 on 29", was conducted in 29 constituencies. In October 2019, the party called for volunteer polling and counting agents.
On 4 November, the PSP called for an opposition alliance meeting, privately attended by representatives from seven opposition political parties. According to Tan, the meeting was to discuss future plans and to introduce members of different parties to one another. On 9 November, the party began its second island-wide walkabout, involving about 220 members and volunteers.
On 12 January 2020, the party held its second series of door-to-door house visits in West Coast GRC, led by Tan and joined by more than 200 members and volunteers. The event involved 22 teams and covered 50 residential blocks. A walkabout of about 40 members had been conducted in 2019 within the same constituency.
