Opposition politician Nicole Seah has left the National Solidarity Party, which she contested under during the 2011 General Elections.
Her departure was confirmed by NSP’s secretary-general Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss, as reported in Yahoo Singapore.
Ms Seah was formerly the second assistant secretary-general for NSP.
“We thank her for all the contributions she has made during her time with us, and we are very appreciative of all her efforts… but we respect her decision, which I’m sure she has considered and not made lightly,” Ms Chong-Aruldoss was quoted as saying.
Ms Chong-Aruldoss also indicated that there was no friction between Ms Seah and the party’s leadership that could have led to her departure.
Ms Seah has been less active with the party, and has also recently moved to Thailand earlier this year for work.
She has maintained on her social media postings that she remains active in grassroots activities in Singapore and has continued to keep in contact with her volunteers.
Ms Seah shot to fame in the 2011 General Elections due to her age and her performance, and has been drawn in parallel with the People’s Action Party’s Ms Tin Pei Ling.
She has indicated that the public life has taken its toll on her, and had expressed a wish to keep things simple in one of reflective her Facebook postings.
It is not known if Ms Seah will continue in politics with another party.

印尼泗水连环恐怖袭击一周年 哀悼罹难者

法新社Kiki Siregar撰文,本社林殊译 印尼一家教堂于昨日(5月13日),举办泗水连环恐怖袭击命案纪念活动,怀念与哀悼身陷恐怖袭击案的死者。 印尼第二大城泗水曾于去年5月13日至5月15日,共发生了4起自杀式爆炸案,地点为圣玛丽天主教堂、泗水中央五旬节教堂、印尼基督教堂及泗水市警察总部,造成26人死亡,50人受伤。 去年5月13日,嫌犯带着包括两名12岁与9岁儿童,一家六口分别于3家不同教堂的进行早晨礼拜时,引爆自杀式袭击,造成重大伤亡;翌日,于泗水市警察总部发生自杀式袭击,4人爆炸客当场死亡,另有4名警察、6名平民共10人受伤。 嫌犯来自两家不同家庭,均属极端组织IS印尼分支—神权游击队(JAD),引爆炸弹的家庭还涉及未成年少年与儿童。 数百人于昨日聚集在圣玛丽教堂进行追思会,其中也包含袭击事件的幸存者,过程中也有部分幸存者公开当时的恐怖经历,并表示对“家庭式人肉炸弹袭击”感到担心,忧将成为极端组织IS的新型手段。 一位幸存者蒂蒙达(译音)表示,“我已经学会往前走,不要被袭击事件影响,因为这就是恐怖分子要达到的效果。” 极端组织IS也在事件发生后声明,泗水连环恐怖袭击的事件是由IS印尼分支神权游击队(JAD)策划,而嫌犯也分属组织下的成员。 “身为泗水城的当地居民,我对于近年来恐怖袭击行动,感到非常惊讶,而且袭击者全都来自于穆斯林分子。”一名头戴穆斯林面巾的女士安迪(译音)说道。 印尼斯里兰卡于今年4月21日复活主日爆发连环爆炸案,地点位于斯里兰卡可伦坡、内贡博、巴提卡洛阿、代希瓦勒、德玛塔戈达,造成253人死亡,500人受伤,其中包含多名外籍人士。该事件自2009年来斯里兰卡内战结束后,首次遭受恐怖重大袭击。 “所以我想向这些受害者表示哀悼与声援,希望不会再有任何恐怖袭击发生。印尼的多元文化让外人产生妒忌,所以我们更应该团结。”他还说。…
