Exclusive interview with Mothership.sg: Nicole Seah talks about how she is feeling post-NSP

You won't believe what she said. Kind of.

Now that Singapore has gotten wind of Nicole Seah's resignation from the National Solidarity Party, Mothership.sg caught up with her to find out how she is doing.

This is Seah's email to the mainstream media explaining her decision:

Leaving the NSP was an extremely difficult and painful decision to make, and there was nothing which might have happened to trigger this departure. I started in politics as a fresh graduate wanting to make a difference, by bringing more political awareness and interest to young people in the last couple of years. It's reached a point where I feel that my job is done (for now) and I have to move on and grow in other areas, before I can continue to give back to the communities I choose to place myself in.

Singapore is always home, and what is far more crucial is for everyone to recognise that in everyone's way, we just want the best for this country using the most productive channels possible. I do hope that there will be more constructive discussions taking place in public domains, that we will have a less biased state media, and that our political discourse as a nation continues to mature in the right direction.

I wish NSP all the best, and continue to hold its leadership and members in high regard. We continue to remain friends. For myself, this is not a complete departure from politics, as I continue to keep tabs on what is happening back home. I will just need to find a more suitable platform to contribute and give back.

Lastly, I have no intention of joining or working with SFP. Thank you!

Regards

Nicole

SFP stands for Singaporean First Party, the newest party in Singapore.
