Party Chong-Aruldoss eventually left the NSP and joined another opposition party, the Singapore People's Party (SPP), in April 2015. In the general election that year, she contested as a SPP candidate in Mountbatten SMC, but lost to the PAP's Lim Biow Chuan again, garnering just 28.14% of the vote against Lim's 71.86%. Leaving the Singapore People's Party On 2 September 2019, Chong-Aruldoss resigned from the SPP. In a Facebook post announcing her resignation, she said, "I entered politics in 2009 because I was convinced that the PAP held too much power and I was worried for Singaporeans. I felt that we desperately needed more opposition in Parliament to redress the imbalance." Two days later, she told The Independent Singapore in an interview that she had no plans to join another political party. In October 2019, Chong-Aruldoss was seen accompanying Workers' Party members on a walkabout in the Eunos Crescent area of Marine Parade GRC. 2017 assault case On 8 August 2017, Chong-Aruldoss sustained a bruised hip after she was assaulted by fellow lawyer and opposition politician M Ravi at The Adelphi. Court documents revealed that Ravi had gone to The Adelphi and demanded to be allowed inside Eugene Thuraisingam's law firm, where Chong-Aruldoss was working then. He had stopped her abruptly and began questioning her aggressively. When she tried to walk away, he forcefully pushed her twice, causing her to stumble backwards and fall onto the ground. After she was down, he kicked and flung her belongings scattered on the ground, and also threw a shoe in her direction while mocking her for being 'drama'. On 5 January 2018, in lieu of a jail term, Ravi was ordered to undergo an 18-month mandatory treatment for his bipolar disorder, which had led to him committing the offence, among others.
