毕丹星被指定为国会在野党领袖
工人党秘书长毕丹星表示，将会竭尽所能履行应尽职责，成为在国会的在野党领袖。
上周五大选成绩宣布，工人党一举拿下10个国会议席，三个选区，成为我国首次有双位数民选在野党议员的政党。
总理李显龙也在此后提出将正式认可毕丹星为在野党领袖，并将会提供适当的人员和资源，以便他履行职责。
委任在野党领袖，也与奉行英国西敏寺式国会制度的其他国家相仿，例如英国、新西兰、澳洲等。
不过尚未知是否新加坡工人党有意推出影子内阁，惟该党仍继续放眼取下国会三分之一议席为中期目标。
毕丹星早期已在脸书上回应，将会竭尽所能履行应尽的职责。
“针对李显龙总理的记者招待会一事，对于反对党领袖一职感到非常期待，并将尽我所能履行我的职责。我会确保工人党在我的领军下能够继续忠于新加坡和所有国人。”
不过，他也提醒行动党仍会竭尽所能重夺盛港、阿裕尼和后港。该党须加倍努力，以诚信和真诚服务选民。
工人党在本届大选取得优越成绩，不仅高票守住后港和阿裕尼，也一举拿下盛港集选区。对此，李显龙在记者会上表示，该成绩也反映了年轻选民的诉求，除了希望执政党持续，也希望国会内有更多反对党的声音出现。
因此，李显龙表示，执政党也会携手和反对当一同维护国家利益。
李总理表示：“这也取决于反对党的表现，才能说服投资者，让他们相信新加坡拥有负责任的反对党，不仅了解国家利益，也把国家利益摆在政党政治之前。”
