SINGAPORE: There have been changes to the Singapore Justice Party, a component party of the Singapore Democratic Alliance, following the Singapore People's Party withdrawal from the alliance.
The alliance's Secretary-General, Desmond Lim Bak Chuan has quit the SPP, which is headed by Potong Pasir MP Chiam See Tong.
Mr Lim has now joined the Singapore Justice Party.
He was appointed as SJP's Secretary-General on Thursday.
Mr Lim plans to contest in Punggol East, a Single Member Constituency in the General Election due by February 2012.
"The reason I left SPP is that I wanted to contest under the SDA platform because I believe the SDA continues to be a platform for operational unity," said Mr Lim.

1) No respect for orderliness and proper administration
Desmond allowed 30 members barged into room without proper administration “Go in go in don’t need to register”. a …SPP cadre and I stopped the crowd and like a mad man he shouted and insisted his way through.
2) Inappropriate behavior of a Sect Gen
first thing right up to my face “Alex Tan your no longer a member of SPP because your application was not approved on 6 of May”
(my application form is under his care all along. now it’s gone? and i’m not with SPP? no worries I will stay with Chiam side as a non-member supporter volunteer as an adviser.)
the room was a rowdy drama for the first 1 hour with Desmond’s “members” and I can tell many of them are clueless at what’s going on. are they members? SPP needs volunteers every Thursday to help out at Meet-the-People session so badly and now popped out so many members?
2 “cadre” members voted into SPP CEC, bryan chua bingsheng and Sydney soon. both just joined this year and yet they are “cadre”? just because Desmond insisted so? does Democracy means disregard of proper procedures?
Desmond’s men was so rude in the room. taunting Mrs Chiam, shouting words like “you are old and slow”? like wth? is this a circus?
I was giving my ending speech to the conference and Desmond can shout all the way from his seat “this is not a member!”
let me share this scenario I saw personally with my own eyes. at the
end of the conference, chiam asked Desmond for the 5 new “cadre”
members’ hp number and address. Desmond waved him off and rushed the 5
out of the room.
what arrogance?! I pity the old man. I would have slapped Desmond if I am Mr Chiam.
a sect gen of the Democratic Alliance with no regards for civilized and democratic orderliness. SPP will be in ruins if it has a leader like this. Singapore will be in ruins if it has a MP like this.
As decribled by Alex Tan

I think its good riddance, this guy seems to be making the reputation bad for SPP.
Aiya this man and Chiam see tong become enemy liao lar...
It usually happen when ge is around the corner.
Other time, all dead quite, never see their faces or speech.
What kind of opposition is that?
Can they serve the people if they themselves quit here and there?

After ge, I wld like to suggest all opp party come up a one name, one vision, one ambitions and one unity. Plan forward now and not wait till 5 yrs later.
Also, I wld like to suggest move tv coverage on what opp are doing.
Also, I wld like to suggest opp members do the walkabouts frequently even after ge. To let yr neighours know you very well.
If these cannot meet, pap will be forever the main power in spore.

never happen.
asking for unity on different ideologies is not possible.
can dream on only as no one want to share power including PAP.
if the current influx of foreigners continue we will be minorty soon.
No one can hear you. No one will bother if you exist or not.
