4th Leader of the Opposition [a]
In office
1 January 1966 7 October 1966
  1. De facto, not an official position in parliamentary proceedings.
  2. Although it is generally assumed that he was born in Singapore, there are no publicly available reliable sources that confirm his place of birth, and it cannot be stated with certainty. The National Library Board (NLB) omits this detail in their Infopedia about him, suggesting that they too have no verified information on his birthplace despite having official authoritative sources at their disposal.
