Pritam Singh's designation as Leader of the Opposition to end 'with immediate effect': PM Wong
PM Lawrence Wong wrote: "I have decided that Mr Singh’s criminal convictions, taken together with Parliament’s considered view of his unsuitability, make it no longer tenable for him to continue as the [Leader of the Opposition]. Mr Singh’s designation as the LO will therefore cease with immediate effect. This decision is necessary to uphold the rule of law, as well as the dignity and integrity of Parliament."
