Leaders of Singapore’s only parliamentary opposition party have appealed to supporters for financial help, saying they face the risk of bankruptcy as costs mount in civil cases they are fighting, Reuters reports. Seven opposition parties announced plans in August to form a coalition. But uniting behind a single vision and identity will be key to achieving any success, say experts, as the nitty-gritty of the proposed coalition is ironed out. Pakatan Harapan’s stunning victory in Malaysia prompted some to hope for a similar result at Singapore’s next election, due to be held by January 2021. However, if Singapore does see a “tsunami rakyat” (people’s tsunami), it’s unlikely to come so soon, writes Kirsten Han for Lowy Institute’s The Interpreter.
