At a virtual press conference held at The Treasury building at around 4.30am on Saturday (July 11), PM Lee said that with 10 opposition MPs in the next Parliament, he intends to formally appoint WP Pritam Singh as Leader of the Opposition.
He will also provide Mr Singh with the appropriate staff and resources.
In a Facebook post, Mr Goh Chok Tong said that this was a significant move.

All in all, this is good for democracy as Singaporeans can look forward to robust debates on government policies and their alternatives put forth by the opposition.
