The People's Action Party is a major conservative political party in Singapore, governing the country since its independence in 1965. Founded in 1954 as a centre-left party, it has shifted towards the centre-right over the years. The party has been instrumental in shaping Singapore's economic and social landscape, with key figures like [[lee-kuan-yew|Lee Kuan Yew]] and [[goh-chok-tong|Goh Chok Tong]] playing significant roles.
