Sebastian first stepped into the political arena in 2001 contesting as one of 5 members representing the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) together with Yip Yew Weng, Christopher Neo Ting Wei, Foo Kok Wah and Abdul Rahim bin Osman in the Tampines GRC against the team from the People's Action Party (PAP) represented by Minister Mah Bow Tan, Yatiman bin Yusof, Ong Kian Min, Sin Boon Ann and Irene Ng Phek Hoong. They lost badly receiving only 26.7% of the votes.
In 2006, Sebastian contested under the SDA banner in the Jalan Besar GRC together with Fong Chin Leong, Cheo Chai Chen, Vincent Yeo Boon Keng and Muhamad Ali bin Aman against another team from the PAP composed of Minister Lee Boon Yang, Minister Yaacob bin Ibrahim, Minister Heng Chee How, Lily Neo and Denise Phua Lay Peng. His SDA team lost again obtaining just 30.7% of the votes against the strong ministerial team.
In 2011, Sebastian contested a third time representing the National Solidarity Party (NSP) together with Tony Tan Lay Thiam, Poa Koon Koon Hazel, Nor Lella Mardiiiah Mohamed and Jeisilan Sivalingam in Chua Chu Kang GRC against a PAP team led by Minister Gan Kim Yong, Alvin Yeo, Zaqy Mohamad, Alex Yam and Low Yen Ling. The NSP team lost but obtained a credible 38.8% of the votes despite fielding 4 rookie candidates.
Sebastian failed to make it to parliament in all his 3 attempts but managed to improve his percentage of votes in every election. He is currently the President of the National Solidarity Party which has grown to become the 3rd largest political party in Singapore.
