SINGAPORE: Senior counsel Harpreet Singh is one to watch out for in the next General Election. Mr Singh has received attention online since he joined The Workers’ Party members in August last year on walkabouts at Marine Parade.
The high-profile lawyer graduated from the National University of Singapore and Harvard Law School and was admitted to the bar as an advocate and solicitor in 1992. In 2007, he was appointed Senior Counsel of the Supreme Court of Singapore.Noting that the election may be called as soon as this year, he wrote that whether the governing party would continue to maintain a strong majority or the opposition would grow in strength will determine Singapore’s future.
“History shows that a good, effective opposition enhances a society with checks and balances. No man or system can, or should, be trusted with near complete dominance. But beyond the need for effective checks and balances, is there a strong case for an enhanced opposition at the upcoming GE? It is my firm conviction that as economically successful as we have been as a country, we can be an even better and stronger society with a stronger political opposition,” he writes.Others talked about how denying the governing People’s Action Party a supermajority would be the first step to a stronger opposition, saying that one-third of MPs should come from the opposition.SG Politics
