Earlier today, Dr Tan Cheng Bock, Chief of Progress Singapore Party (PSP) announced the postponement of his party’s launch date, citing reasons of delayed permits.

In a social media post, he wrote that pending police approval, he was looking to officially launch the party on June 15 at the EXPO. However, he said that the Police Permit for the event and other related permits such as the Public Entertainment Licence are still pending, and as such he needed to delay the event.

On the event, Dr Tan wrote, “I was especially surprised by a couple who brought me a small bottle of holy oil. This dear lady proceeded to anoint my forehead with the oil – it was a blessing for protection. I felt very touched”.
