Singapore’s Workers’ Party finishes investigation into chief Pritam Singh’s conduct

Singapore's main opposition party, the Workers' Party, announced on Saturday that its disciplinary panel has concluded its investigation into Secretary-General Pritam Singh. The probe was initiated to determine whether Singh contravened the party's constitution following his legal conviction. In December 2025, the High Court upheld Singh's conviction for lying under oath to a parliamentary committee, a verdict that prompted the party's internal review. The three-member disciplinary panel, comprising Sengkang GRC MPs Jamus Lim and He Ting Ru along with former Hougang MP Png Eng Huat, was established by the party's Central Executive Committee in January.

The panel's finalized report and recommendations are scheduled to be presented to the Central Executive Committee in April. Following this presentation, the party stated that a Notice for a Special Cadre Members' Conference will be issued within two weeks. This internal disciplinary process unfolds against a significant political backdrop. In January 2026, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong formally stripped Singh of his historic role as Singapore's first Leader of the Opposition, a position created to recognize the opposition's growing presence in parliament. The outcome of the party's internal proceedings will determine Singh's future within the party leadership and shape the political trajectory of Singapore's primary opposition force.
