It’s the saga that has gone from Parliament to the courts and back to Parliament again.
On Jan 14, Parliament approved a motion that
Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh is unsuitable to be Leader of the Opposition (LO)
.
This comes after a district court found him guilty of lying to a parliamentary committee,
a ruling that was upheld on appeal
.
But what does this mean for the LO office, the Workers’ Party, and politics in Singapore?
