Singapore PM Removes Pritam Singh as Leader of the Opposition After Conviction

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong removed Pritam Singh, leader of the opposition Workers' Party, from his role as Leader of the Opposition following Singh's conviction for lying to Parliament. The Parliament passed a motion deeming Singh unfit for the post due to his conduct related to a lying scandal involving former WP MP Raeesah Khan. Wong stated the decision upholds the rule of law and parliamentary integrity, and has asked the opposition to nominate a replacement promptly. Singh has maintained his innocence despite accepting the court's judgment.
