Why SG’s Leader of Opposition Won’t Be PM & Dealing with Govt Scrutiny | Pritam Singh | #706

Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh joins us after GE2025 to talk candidly about the Workers’ Party’s results, the challenges of opposition politics, and his role in Parliament. He explains why he doesn’t aspire to be Singapore’s Prime Minister, how WP balances ideals with pragmatism, and what the party stands for in the years ahead. We also cover hot-button issues like HDB pricing, constituency strategy, controversies within the party, and WP’s evolving stance on international conflicts. Beyond politics, Pritam opens up about fatherhood, family, and what truly excites him about Singapore’s future.
