Synopsis: The Straits Times' executive editor Sumiko Tan gets up close with newsmakers over lunch - and a selfie.

In this episode, Sumiko Tan meets the Leader of the Opposition, Workers' Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh.

Mr Singh was formally designated Leader of the Opposition after the general election in July last year where his Workers' Party won 10 out of 93 parliamentary seats. This was the largest win by an opposition party. The party retained the Hougang single ward and Aljunied GRC, and added Sengkang GRC to its fold.

1. What is WP's brand of opposition? (1:47)
2. Pritam Singh's objectives (2:41)
3. On the approach for WP MPs in Parliament (3:50)
