TWO leaders of the newly formed Socialist Front (SF) who left
their former parties after personal differences say they are
willing to cooperate for the sake of opposition unity at the next
General Election.
'We will try our very best to be as coherent with any other
party, based on fair terms of negotiation, so we can work in
agreement,' said Mr Ng Teck Siong, 69, chairman of the party, which
was registered on Sept 1.
'We will not try to create any disruption or cause trouble. Our
intention is to avoid three-cornered fights'.
Mr Ng, who co-founded the Reform Party with the late Mr J.B.
Jeyaretnam in 2008, quit as chairman in April last year after a
dispute with Mr Jeyaretnam's son Kenneth, now its
secretary-general.
Both Mr Ng and SF secretary-general Chia Ti Lik, 36, spoke at
the party's maiden press conference yesterday, where they outlined
the SF's ideology and preparations for the next GE, due by February
2012.
Mr Chia left the Workers' Party in 2006 in protest against party
rules that bar central executive committee members from posting
comments or statements online in their own names.
