# Pritam Singh moved to new seat in Parliament after removal as Leader of the Opposition

The change comes after Prime Minister Lawrence Wong had on Jan 15 removed Mr Pritam Singh as Leader of the Opposition,

SINGAPORE - Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh will no longer sit directly opposite Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in Parliament, following Mr Singh’s removal as Leader of the Opposition.

An updated seating plan that Parliament put up on its website on Feb 3 showed that Deputy Speaker of Parliament Christopher de Souza will now occupy the seat across the aisle from PM Wong.

Mr de Souza will be flanked by fellow PAP MPs Mr Xie Yao Quan and Vikram Nair, who are both chairpersons of government parliamentary committees. Mr Singh will be seated to the left of Mr Xie, who is also Deputy Speaker of Parliament.

The seating plan was updated at about 10.30am on Feb 3, before Parliament was due to sit.

The change comes after Prime Minister Lawrence Wong had on Jan 15 removed Mr Singh as Leader of the Opposition, one day after Parliament voted to consider Mr Singh unsuitable for the office.
