Singaporeans First
Singaporeans First (abbreviation: SingFirst) was a political party in Singapore founded on 25 May 2014 by Tan Jee Say. The party was dissolved on 25 June 2020.
After SingFirst was founded in May 2014, Tan used a stylised adaptation of the simple heart logo, similar to the one he had used when he campaigned for the presidential election in 2011. Tan led his 10-member Central Executive Committee (CEC), whose members included a former SDP candidate Ang Yong Guan.[citation needed]
On 22 March 2015, SingFirst unveiled a new 12-member CEC with five new faces at its inaugural dinner. Assistant secretary-general Loke Pak Hoe, assistant treasurer Fatimah Akhthar, and Fahmi Rais stepped down from the CEC.[citation needed]
In September 2015, the party participated in their first general election, where they contested Jurong and Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituencies (GRC), against the People's Action Party (PAP). The party obtained 20.72% and 22.29% of the vote share, respective to each constituency, and was defeated by the PAP.
In July 2018, the party was among seven political parties (Reform Party, Singapore Democratic Party, People's Power Party, Democratic Progressive Party, National Solidarity Party (NSP) and Peoples Voice Party (PV)), in a meeting led by former PAP MP Tan Cheng Bock, on the possibility of forming a coalition for the next election.
In March 2020, SingFirst alongside People's Power Party, Reform Party and Democratic Progressive Party applied to join the Singapore Democratic Alliance.
The party chairman, Ang Yong Guan, appeared in a PSP video produced before 7 April 2020, and was subsequently revealed to be PSP's candidate for Marymount SMC for the 2020 general election in the period between the dissolution of Parliament and nomination day. On 25 June 2020, Tan dissolved SingFirst, claiming that it would be in the best interests of a united opposition, to avoid multi-cornered fights between more than two parties in the same constituency. Tan subsequently contested under the SDP banner for the Holland–Bukit Timah GRC in the 2020 general election.
SingFirst aimed to abolish the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and increase social spending.
