This week, Parliament will debate whether Singapore’s Leader of the Opposition, Pritam Singh, should keep his post. The motion comes after he was convicted of lying to the Committee of Privileges regarding his role in advising former WP MP Raeesah Khan to conceal the truth in Parliament.

Can Pritam Singh, Singapore’s first-ever Leader of the Opposition, hold onto his position? What does this mean for public trust in both the Workers’ Party and Parliament itself? And how could this moment shape the opposition’s strategy and influence in the lead-up to the next general election?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Mustafa Izzuddin, Senior International Affairs Analyst at Solaris Strategies Singapore, to unpack the stakes.

Markets can feel like stormy seas, every drop in stocks makes investors wonder if they should retreat to safety. But history shows that waiting for perfect conditions often comes at a real cost. That’s where the Vikings come in. They didn’t cross oceans because they could predict the weather. They did it because they had strong ships, clear destinations, and the skill to adjust when conditions changed. Investing works the same way: the rewards go to those who commit to a strategy, navigate the storms, and keep moving forward.
