Speaking to the media on the sidelines of a Tampines GRC walkabout, Workers' Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh rebutted Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong's remarks made at the Jalan Kayu SMC rally on Sunday night (April 28).

SM Lee said that voting in more opposition comes at a cost of effective governance of Singapore. In response, Singh said that this is a "weak argument." He also questioned if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had lost its bearings after then-Foreign Minister George Yeo's loss in the 2011 General Election.
