Singapore’s Pritam Singh is facing cracks in his party. What does this say about the opposition?

Just over a year after consolidating its status as Singapore’s main opposition, the Workers’ Party (WP) is grappling with internal fissures as chief Pritam Singh’s role is being questioned by his own members.Singh, who has led the WP since 2018, is facing a special conference later this month called by 25 cadre members pushing for him to step down as secretary general for breaching the party constitution, according to local media.Sources say there is a generational divide in the party, with the old guard in recent years growing sceptical of Singh’s leadership. This faction – who tended to be Chinese-educated with some Malays – comprised about a quarter of the cadre members, as opposed to newer cadres who were typically young professionals.
