Opposition party Red Dot United (RDU) on May 24 said it wants to move beyond being a check and balance on the ruling PAP, and is aspiring towards being an “alternative government” instead. To do this, it wants to work with other “like-minded” opposition parties to build a digital platform, tentatively called altgov.sg, to flesh out policy positions. “We want to make ourselves better known, so if the PAP fails, people will know there is a shadow government in place to take the country forward,” RDU secretary-general Ravi Philemon said. He was speaking at an event at the party’s headquarters in Ubi Crescent to thank volunteers after the 2025 General Election. “I think that is the responsible thing to do. We do not want to be checks and balances any more,” said Mr Philemon as he addressed the media while flanked by his RDU teammates Sharon Lin, Ben Puah and Harish Mohanadas. RDU in its media invitation to the May 24 event said that there is a necessity to change its outlook and how it approaches politics in Singapore.
SINGAPORE - Some of the richest people in the world, such as American hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio, Indonesian coal king Low Tuck Kwong and Brazil-born Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, have set up foundations in Singapore to give to charitable causes in the past three years. This comes as the Republic positions itself as a financial and philanthropic hub for Asia, driven by a flourishing wealth management sector and attractive tax incentives. On May 5, it was announced that the Gates Foundation, one of the world's largest philanthropic foundations, will set up an office in Singapore. Founded in 2000 by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his former wife Melinda, the foundation aims to fight poverty, disease and inequity around the world. Gates, an American who turns 70 in October, is ranked 13th on Forbes' World's Billionaires List 2025, with an estimated wealth of US$108 billion (S$139 billion). The Commissioner of Charities (COC) told The Straits Times that about five new charities each year have been registered under the Grantmaker Scheme in the past three years.
