Pritam Singh

Pritam Singh is a Singaporean politician who was the Leader of the Opposition in parliament until he was removed from the position by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong following a conviction for lying. The Workers' Party, his party, rejected the invitation to nominate another MP to fill the vacancy. Singh's removal and subsequent conviction have drawn attention to the constitutional basis of the Leader of the Opposition role and its significance in Singapore's political landscape. His case has sparked public discourse on the issue, with some drawing comparisons to the Westminster system. Recently, Singh was fined S$14,000 for two charges related to his handling of a former lawmaker who confessed to lying to parliament.
