The People's Action Party (PAP) is a bourgeois political party in Singapore that has ruled Singapore since independence. It is one of three major bourgeois parties in parliament along with the Workers' Party (WP) and the Progress Singapore Party (PSP).
History[edit | edit source]
The PAP made an alliance with the Communist Party to drive out the British colonizers. In 1961, it purged its left wing, which turned into the Socialist Front. It began Operation Cold Store in 1963 to destroy the Socialist Front's leadership.[1]
