Singapore activists Jolovan Wham and Elijah Tay are set to appear in court next week over alleged offences under Singapore’s Public Order Act and Penal Code. The Attorney-General’s Chambers is pursuing the matters, with Wham and Tay receiving notices to attend court on separate dates. The development was disclosed by Singapore civil society group Alliance Against the Death Penalty SG (AADP) in an Instagram post on 3 September 2026. Next week, Tay is set to face nine charges, while Wham is due to face five additional charges on top of the five charges he is already facing, bringing the combined number of charges against the two activists to 19. Five additional charges against Wham Wham said he was served with the five new charges after meeting police recently, including charges relating to his participation in candlelight vigils. The new charges are separate from the five he was already facing for taking part in public assemblies without a permit. A charge sheet seen by The Online Citizen shows that three of the five charges allege that Wham participated in candlelight vigils near Changi Prison without the required permits. The alleged offences relate to vigils held in connection with executions on 22 November 2024, 29 November 2024 and 23 January 2025. The vigils concerned the executions of Rosman Bin Abdullah, Masoud Rahimi Bin Mehrzad and Syed Suhail Bin Syed Zin, respectively.  Another charge alleges that Wham refused to answer questions about a public assembly, despite being legally required to provide truthful answers. The fifth charge alleges that Wham organised an assembly near state courts on 3 February 2025 to publicise the cause of abolishing capital punishment in Singapore. The charge sheet states that the alleged offences were brought under the Public Order Act 2009 and Penal Code 1871. Wham has already been convicted of three offences in an earlier case. In May 2026, Wham was fined S$10,500 after being convicted of three Public Order Act offences linked to candlelight vigils outside Changi Prison ahead of executions. The court imposed a S$3,500 fine for each offence. Wham represented himself during that trial. He argued that the quiet vigils caused no public disturbance. He presented evidence of at least nine permit applications over 15 years, covering causes ranging from migrant workers' rights and Labour Day marches to death penalty vigils. All were refused. Appeals to ministers were also unsuccessful. The prosecution maintained that the Public Order Act operates pre-emptively, allowing authorities to regulate public gatherings before disorder occurs. Tay to face nine charges Meanwhile, Tay faces nine charges in the new proceedings. They highlighted the fifth charge, which concerns leading the chant, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, at a private event. TOC understands that the indoor Palestine-focused event, Steadfast for Palestine, was held on 2 February 2024.     According to Tay, the authorities’ position is that the phrase supports the elimination of the Jewish state of Israel. Tay said the charge characterises the phrase as prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony between racial groups and likely to disrupt public tranquillity. Tay’s response to the allegation Tay disputed the position and said Singapore’s Government should instead be charged under Section 298A of the Penal Code 1871. They said the Government should be held accountable for what he described as its complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and its continued economic, military, diplomatic and political ties with Israel. Tay also said: “Free Palestine and free Singapore from being used as part of the US war machine.” AADP said members of the public could attend the proceedings in solidarity with the two activists.   https://theonlinecitizen.com/2026/09/04/singapore-activists-jolovan-wham-and-elijah-tay-set-to-face-charges-over-peaceful-actions

SDP flags gaps in NDR 2026 measures, urges deeper reforms on housing, childcare and population   https://theonlinecitizen.com/2026/08/26/sdp-flags-gaps-in-ndr-2026-measures-urges-deeper-reforms-on-housing-childcare-and-population?fbclid=IwdGRjcAUIvaJjbGNrBQi9iHBkb2YFZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEeuo6bkVHfzy6XtkFZLg33QrO70tdDcFG31yjyL-7iPzv1MX7UFshv1BpMeNs_aem_Mpwu4cEzYCOo7maVOfcGeQ   SDP's Response to National Day Rally 2026 — Full Details   On 24 August 2026, the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), led by chairman Dr Paul Tambyah, issued a formal statement responding to Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s National Day Rally 2026 speech delivered the previous day. The party welcomed several family-focused measures but argued they did not go far enough to address structural challenges facing Singaporeans .       📌 Overall Stance   The SDP described the rally as containing "some small benefits for families with children" but said there were few measures capable of delivering broader structural change. It called for deeper reforms across six key areas: childcare, housing, transport, population policy, National Service, and environmental planning .       👶 1. Family & Childcare Measures   Announced by PM Wong:   - Childcare leave increased: 8 days (1 child), 10 days (2 children), 12 days (3+ children) per working parent; government covers reimbursement costs up to statutory limits . - SG Child Support Package: ~S$70,000 in direct support per Singaporean child from birth to age 17 — including S$10,000 Baby Gift, S$5,000 MediSave Grant, CDA support, and S$2,000 annual Child Credits from age 1 to 16 . - Preschool fee reductions: Full-day childcare targeted at S$150/month; infant care at S$300/month for Singaporean children at government-supported operators .   SDP's Response:   - ✅ Welcomed the leave enhancements and fee reductions as promising steps. - ⚠️ Noted that past Baby Bonus increases were historically accompanied by rising childcare fees, questioning the net benefit. - ⚠️ Said singles caring for elderly parents were overlooked — leave arrangements should be more neutral and inclusive of all caregiving roles. - 🚀 Proposed going further: nationalise early childhood education under a universal model, similar to affordable primary education, to truly lower costs and reduce social disparities .       🏠 2. Housing Policy   Announced by PM Wong:   - BTO income ceiling raised: S$14,000 → S$16,000/month . - EC income ceiling raised: S$16,000 → S$18,000/month . - First-timer families get one extra ballot chance per child they have or are expecting .   SDP's Response:   - ❌ Questioned the logic of extra ballot chances: families without a home cannot easily have more children to qualify for them — calling the measure circular and insufficient. - 🚀 Called for a comprehensive review of public housing policy rather than incremental adjustments. - Also criticised car ownership costs (COE exceeding S$125,000 for a small car), noting families with infants, elderly, or disabled relatives may need private transport; proposed reforming the COE system to prevent private-hire companies from dominating bids .       📈 3. Population Policy   Announced by PM Wong:   - Citizen population is shrinking and ageing; fertility rate remains below replacement level. - Singapore will continue welcoming new citizens at a "measured and sustainable pace" while managing foreign workforce growth carefully .   SDP's Response:   - ❌ Challenged the need for continued population growth toward an "unexplained target", arguing it increases infrastructure and environmental pressure. - Pointed to falling birth rates and rising automation in Japan, South Korea, and China as evidence that perpetual growth may not be necessary or sustainable. - On National Service: Welcomed new residents in the SAF Volunteer Corps but insisted new citizens below reservist liability age should also serve NS and be subject to regular training and IPPT obligations. - Stated principle clearly: "Singaporeans are not afraid of competition. We just want a level playing field."        🤖 4. Technology & Transport   Autonomous Vehicles:   - ✅ Welcomed expansion of AV trials in Punggol as potentially beneficial for commuters. - ⚠️ Sought clarity on how taxi and private-hire drivers will be protected and retrained if the technology displaces their livelihoods — noting the government stated retraining would proceed alongside adoption, but details remain unspecified .   Social Media & Youth Safety:   - PM Wong announced stronger safeguards including age verification and possible higher minimum age limits. - SDP noted no detailed rules have been published yet, and cited examples like Malaysia and Australia that have already introduced explicit restrictions on teenagers' social media use .       🌿 5. Environment & Land Use   Announced by PM Wong:   - Southern islands development: Merge Semakau, Bukom, Sudong and others into a larger western island for advanced manufacturing, power generation, and defence needs . - Other long-term plans: develop Sentosa & Pulau Brani, Long Island reclamation, and further reclamation at Pulau Tekong .   SDP's Response:   - ⚠️ Warned that mainland secondary forests could be lost to development. - ⚠️ Specifically raised alarm about ecological disruption to the southern islands from the proposed merging and reclamation works. - Noted public speculation that the new island could eventually host a nuclear power plant, though acknowledged this has not been confirmed by the government .       🎯 Summary of SDP's Core Demands   Area What SDP Urges  Childcare Nationalise early childhood education; universal, low-cost model  Housing Comprehensive policy review; not just higher income ceilings or extra ballots  Transport Reform COE system; protect livelihoods of drivers affected by automation  Population Abandon unspecified growth targets; ensure NS obligations apply fairly to new citizens  Environment Full ecological impact assessments; transparency on long-term land plans  Social Support Inclusive care leave that supports singles caring for elderly too        Source: SDP statement via The Online Citizen, published 26 August 2026
