Morning Shot: Understanding Pritam Singh’s Removal as Leader of the Opposition

Singapore’s political landscape shifted this week following the removal of Pritam Singh as Leader of the Opposition, after Parliament voted that he was unsuitable to continue in the role and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong withdrew the designation.

Nicholas Fang, Managing Director of Black Dot Research and former Nominated Member of Parliament, joins the Breakfast Show to examine how the decision came about, what it means for the functioning of Parliament, and how this episode may shape opposition politics in Singapore going forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
