This book examines the staying power of the People's Action Party,
a political party that has governed Singapore since June 1959. A
political titan with few chinks in its armour, the party has kept
winning elections under three prime ministers and Singapore is
about to witness a transition to the fourth prime minister. The
party's seemingly unstoppable sterling performance makes the issue
of the durability of the PAP highly critical. In light of the
serious weakness of the Opposition and the strong performance
legitimacy of the ruling party, it is worthwhile asking the
question, can the PAP stumble and fall? Addressing this question is
highly relevant given that similar political parties and structures
have almost all collapsed elsewhere - the Barisan Nasional as the
latest casualty with its defeat in Malaysia's 2018 General
Elections. With an extensive coverage on domestic and international
issues, up-to-date developments on the finalisation of the PAP's 4G
leadership, the Workers' Party town council saga, and the efforts
to form an opposition coalition led by Tan Cheng Bock are also
analysed in this book.
