Two small opposition parties in Singapore are undergoing leadership changes a year after the general election, following disappointing results. The Progress Singapore Party (PSP), led by Tan Cheng Bock, has seen two central executive committee members resign. These resignations, including those of newcomer Stephanie Tan and youngest-ever committee member Samuel Lim, are described by analysts as an "existential blow" to the party. These developments indicate a period of recalibration for the PSP and other smaller opposition parties in the wake of the election.
