He may have been a “quiet” and shy” schoolboy but Pritam Singh, the secretary-general of the Workers’ Party (WP) and official Leader of the Opposition has certainly come a long way.
Fresh off the high of GE2020, where Singh led WP to its best election showing in history by scoring two GRCs and one SMC, his alma mater took to Facebook on July 12 to congratulate him, sharing a post from a former teacher that highlighted Singh’s humble beginnings.
In the post, originally shared in 2018, Lorene Nalpon reminisced about her days teaching Singh at St. Thomas Secondary School, writing:
“Who would have thought that one of my quiet shy boys from Sec 1 Normal (5) of Saint Thomas would turn out to be a wonderfully eloquent and enigmatic leader of the opposition of Singapore’s political arena.
“All the more, I think being in [a] non-elitist school prepares an individual to understand and appreciate all that we have in Singapore and how to truly move society forward.”
