SINGAPORE: Fourteen inactive political parties in Singapore have been deregistered as they have not met their obligations under the Republic’s foreign interference laws.

These parties, whose cessation was published in a notice in the Government Gazette on Thursday (Dec 4), include Barisan Sosialis – once Singapore’s largest opposition party – and United People’s Party, which was founded by former PAP leader Ong Eng Guan in 1961 following his expulsion from the PAP.
