SINGAPORE: The opposition Workers' Party (WP) has moved out of its Syed Alwi Road headquarters, following a meeting to amend the party's constitution to allow it to purchase and own a property.

In a Facebook update on Friday (Dec 16), WP said it held an Extraordinary Organising Members Conference to do so on Thursday night, and that the new property will be a "permanent HQ to better serve Singaporeans".

"We are moving out! And homeless for now," the party quipped. "After photos and a semi-ceremonial taking down of the iconic Hammer that has seen us through three General Elections, we cleared out the place."



This comes ahead of the party's 60th anniversary, which will take place next year.

"There is a sense of nostalgia and renewal as we leave the HQ to write a new chapter," WP said. "We have gone through many trials, but we have only one mind focused on Singapore and one heart set on Singaporeans."

WP also thanked its supporters who contributed to its building fund or gave a donation in exchange for a copy of its newspaper.

"We are laying the bricks now and we hope to have good news to share with you soon," it said.

The party had reportedly said in the 2011 General Election that its Syed Alwi Road premises was too cramped, and aimed to raise S$1.5 million as downpayment for the new location.

WP currently holds six elected seats in Parliament, overseeing Aljunied GRC and Hougang SMC. The three Non-Constituency Members of Parliament currently in office are also members of the party.
