Justice Party Singapore was established in 1972, by a group of shipyard workers led by Mr A.R. Siub (Party Chairman) and a former Trade Union leader Mr M. Ramasamy (Party Secretary-General).
In those days, Singapore was under one dominant party rule. Moreover, the Trade Unions were pro-Government policies. They felt that their welfare and interest was not well represented. Hence, one of the impetuses was to form a political party to champion for fair and equitable rights of the ordinary citizens.
Hence, JPS believed in embracing the “Fair and Equitable” values as our basic philosophy. These values have not changed since 1972, and are still relevant till now.
JPS believes that these values are the fundamental cornerstone to address the challenges faced by the ordinary citizens in overcoming the injustice and unfair treatment. “Fairness and Equitable” compasses the area of our social, economic and governance systems. With “Fairness and Equitable” in place, it will lead to a harmonious and stable society.
With the strong support from our citizens, JPS pledge to vigorously continue holding the ruling party to account for the “Fairness and Equitable” principle so as to secure more benefits for our citizens.

ReplyDeleteWill SJP gather the unemployed PMETs and fight for a cause?
Qn 101: Why not all, or most of, the unemployed PMETs form a political party, and campaign on a platform to champion (of care, job provision and citizenry rights). Afterall, i)they are academically qualified ii)potentially leaders-to-be iii)the MPs’ job pays well and iv)candidates with tertiary qualification generally are more acceptable to the electorate.
SJP will be interested in those that are prepared to be involved in the politics of the country regardless of who they may be. However, SJP as an organisation has certain values and principles. So it is only natural that those who wish to be with SJP should share the same values and principles, and especially so for those who would occupy leadership position in the party. SJP believes that there must be internal harmony on basic values and principles so that differences in opinions of various issues, which there will always be, can be amicably sorted out. Only then can the SJP function properly and achieve its objectives.
