Ex-presidential candidate Tan Jee Say will be announcing the registration of a new Singapore political party on Sunday.

The 60-year-old will be unveiling the 11 founding members, party logo and manifesto, according to an email to the media. More members might be recruited before the next election.

Tan ran for the general election in 2011 under the Singapore Democratic Party. He was also the principal private secretary to the then Deputy Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong.

Tan left the political party before announcing his candidacy for the 2011 presidential election. After which, the investment adviser leased a three-storey building along Orchard Road to host weekly policy discussions.

The venue, known as "Heart Beat", had to be closed down following tenancy issues. The space was reportedly approved for restaurant and office use only.
