Some Famous People called Chiam Tong

Chiam See Tong

Chiam See Tong ( born 12 March 1935) is a retired Singaporean politician who was secretary-general of the Singapore People's Party (SPP) between 1996 and 2019. He served as Member of Parliament for Potong Pasir constituency from 1984 and retained the seat throughout successive elections until 2011.

Formerly a lawyer, Chiam contested the 1976 general election and 1979 by-elections as an independent candidate in Cairnhill and Potong Pasir constituencies respectively, losing both times. He founded the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) in 1980 and became its secretary-general, and contested in the 1980 general election but was defeated again. Chiam succeeded on his fourth attempt during the 1984 general election and won Potong Pasir constituency against People's Action Party candidate Mah Bow Tan. He joined J. B. Jeyaretnam from the Workers' Party as the second of only two opposition Members of Parliament.

Chiam left the SDP after a falling-out with his protégé Chee Soon Juan and joined the Singapore People's Party (SPP). In 2001, Chiam convinced three other opposition parties (NSP, PKMS and SJP) to join the SPP in forming the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA), and served as the SDA's chairman from 2001 to 2011. He withdrew the SPP from the SDA in the lead up to the 2011 general election and left his Potong Pasir seat to lead the SPP team in Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC, but lost to the PAP team. His projected successor to Potong Pasir, his wife Lina Loh, also lost to PAP candidate Sitoh Yih Pin.

Chiam retired after 39 years in politics at the age of 80 prior to the 2015 general election, citing health reasons. He was the longest-serving de facto opposition leader until surpassed by Low Thia Kiang in 2018.
