RDU aims to form 'shadow govt' to take party forward, says party chief Philemon
SINGAPORE – Opposition party Red Dot United (RDU) on May 24 said it wants to move beyond being a check and balance on the ruling PAP, and is aspiring towards being an "alternative government" instead.
To do this, it wants to work with other "like-minded" opposition parties to build a digital platform, tentatively called altgov.sg, to flesh out policy positions.
"We want to make ourselves better known, so if the PAP fails, people will know there is a shadow government in place to take the country forward," RDU secretary-general Ravi Philemon said. He was speaking at an event at the party's headquarters in Ubi Crescent to thank volunteers after the 2025 General Election.
