Malaysia's news, around the clock.
Singapore's Workers Party has solidly backed leader Pritam Singh in internal votes, despite his conviction for lying to Parliament. The show of unity ends months of uncertainty but raises questions about whether the party can win over middle-ground voters.
Singapore's Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh has been re-elected unopposed, with party members rejecting demands for his resignation. The result strengthens his position leading the country's largest opposition party after years of controversy.
Singapore's Workers' Party is bracing for an internal leadership contest on June 28, with discontented cadres actively seeking a challenger to secretary-general Pritam Singh. His conviction for lying to Parliament has galvanised opposition within the party's inner circle.
Perikatan Nasional's parliamentary chief Takiyuddin Hassan has formally notified the Dewan Rakyat Speaker's office of Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin's reappointment as opposition leader, marking a significant realignment in Malaysia's parliamentary dynamics.
Hamzah Zainudin has been restored to the front-row seat designated for the opposition leader in Parliament, displacing former Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin eight positions down the bench.
