前行动党议员、上届总统候选人陈清木医生透露,社团注册局已“原则上”批准他注册新政党的申请。 陈清木在本月16日,透过脸书发文向支持者和民众更新注册新政党- 新加坡前进党(Progress Singapore Party)的进展。 他表示,目前只需在新党章程上稍作修改,提呈给社团注册局后静候答复。 去年12月31日,陈清木既已表示“挂起听筒”,正式结束50年的行医生涯,有意“从服务病人到服务人民”,“国家和人民福祉将是他的优先使命”。 随后他在今年1月16日,和12名志同道合新加坡人(包括几位前人民行动党干部),向社团注册局申请注册新加坡前进党。 当时,他表示积极和社区互动,交谈中我聆听了国人的心声、大家的忧虑与难言之隐。陈清木认为自己有责任重返国会为民请命。 他也透露,本身已研究了各种方案,如加入其他政党、或是接管一个已经存在的政党,甚至当一名独立人士。但经过深思熟虑,认为应成立新政党,并且乐意与优先视国家和人民利益大于党及个人、理念相近的反对党合作。 “我已78岁了,只有很短的时间去培养有心从政,为国为民的未来国会议员。我们要维护一个真民主,正确价值观,以民为本的新加坡,而且必须保持自由选择及无畏发言的精神。” 陈清木表示,希望大家能给将成立的新加坡前进党一个机会,成为国会里的新声音。 “向前看,新政党及团队成熟后,要成为替代政府的机会是可能的。目前的首要任务是要与国家优先,大于党及个人,理念相近的各路人马共同携手合作。”
