Hahahaha even the Punjabis are darn proud of Pritam Singh!
Punjab-origin Pritam Singh is leader of opposition in Singapore
Singh is a Singaporean with Punjabi ancestry and a practicing Sikh
By HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times Chandigarh
Punjab-origin politician, Workers’ Party chief, Pritam Singh, 43, was elected as the leader of opposition by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who won 83 out of the 93 seats in the recently concluded Singapore general election.
Singh is a Singaporean with Punjabi ancestry and a practicing Sikh. He is married to Loveleen Kaur Walia, a Singaporean theatre practitioner, and the couple has two daughters.
Earlier, Singapore’s Prime Minister assured it is “only right” that Workers’ Party’s Indian-origin secretary-general Pritam Singh be “formally designated”as the leader of the opposition, and that he will be provided with “appropriate staff support and resources to perform his duties”.
GE2020: Police confirm reports lodged over PAP statement on WP candidate Raeesah Khan; but no offence found
SINGAPORE: Police reports were lodged over the contents of the People's Action Party (PAP) statement on the Workers' Party (WP) candidate Raeesah Khan, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed on Wednesday (Jul 8).
However, no offence has been found after consultation with the Attorney-General's Chambers.
The police reports relate to the PAP statement titled The Workers’ Party’s Position On Sengkang Candidate Ms Raeesah Khan, which was released on Monday.
"In consultation with the Attorney-General’s Chambers, it was assessed that no offence was disclosed," said SPF.
In its statement on Monday, PAP had called on WP to state its stand on Ms Khan, as well as her social media comments that are the subject of a police probe.
Two police reports were made over the weekened against Ms Khan, who is part of the four-member team contesting Sengkang GRC.
The reports lodged were in relation to comments that Ms Khan had made on social media, which allegedly promoted “enmity between different groups on grounds of religion or race”.
PAP in its statement said that "the WP should state its stand on Ms Raeesah’s posts, since she has admitted to making highly derogatory statements about Chinese and Christians".
"Why does the WP still consider her worthy of consideration as an MP?” PAP added.
PAP also said that in the “interests of transparency”, the WP should ask Ms Khan to “make public” her other posts and review those as well.
“This will allow voters to make a clear assessment of her views, and her suitability to be elected into Parliament," said the party.
Ms Khan has said she regretted making “insensitive” remarks and apologised to those who may have been hurt by them.
Pretty much expected this outcome. Imagine if she was charged by the police, WP's Sengkang team would be disqualified, angry citizens might endeavour to severely punish the PAP by voting for WP over at the East Coast and Marine Parade GRCs to the extent freak election results happen.
A taxi driver gave Nicole Seah zeh zeh a $200 political donation in cash, and she cried! If only I was there to console her and help wipe away her tears :(
It appears the guy who snitched on Raeesah Khan was seeking revenge for Ivan Lim's unfortunate withdrawal from the election. Guess what? He's a damn racist motherfucker himself who deserves to have a chat with ISD over kopi.
