WP played its part as loyal opposition, looks to secure support in 2025: Pritam Singh

In his New Year message posted on the WP Facebook page on Dec 31, the Leader of the Opposition said the WP firmly believes that "constructive parliamentary debates and the diligent responsiveness of policymakers to inquiries" result in improved policy outcomes for Singapore and Singaporeans.

"Towards this aim, we worked and played our part as a loyal opposition in Parliament in 2024," said Mr Singh. His party has eight MPs in the House.
