Parti Ra'ayat Bersatu
Registered: 14 July 1961
Symbol: Key
Formed by ex-Cabinet Minister Ong Eng Guan after being expelled from PAP, it won only his Hong Lim seat throughout its existence. Initially, it took on the symbol of three interlocking rings but this was officially rejected by the societies' registrar in June 1963 for being identical to the symbols of many organisations. The key symbol Ong used in the 1961 by-election was chosen instead. After a disastrous showing in the 1963 GE, Ong resigned his only seat the party won. Having shrunk considerably, a few crossed over to BS and WP not long after.
