WP won't form shadow cabinet but will focus on five critical areas: Pritam Singh

Singapore

THE Workers' Party (WP) will not be forming a shadow cabinet in Parliament, but will instead focus on five areas that the party's chief says are critical for Singapore.

Making his maiden speech as Leader of the Opposition (LO) in Parliament on Monday, Pritam Singh, who is also the WP secretary-general, said: "With just 10 Members of Parliament - far from the more than one-third necessary to check the PAP's super majority - it is not feasible for the Workers' Party to set up a Shadow Cabinet in the tradition of Westminster parliaments."
