Yudhishthra Nathan says he can’t remember proposing to Pritam Singh that Raeesah Khan should maintain her lie during Oct 12 meeting

The defence questions Mr Yudhishthra Nathan about his meeting with Pritam Singh and Ms Loh Pei Ying on Oct 12, 2021, after Mr Nathan says he “cannot recall” what he told Singh.

In particular, defence counsel Andre Jumabhoy asks Mr Nathan if he had told Singh about the suggestion that Ms Khan should not reveal too many details about her anecdote and should just clarify the alleged sexual assault victim’s age.

Mr Nathan says he was “pretty sure” he did not suggest to Singh that Ms Khan should maintain her lie.

To this, Mr Jumabhoy says that Ms Loh had a different recollection of this, and had told the court that Mr Nathan did make this suggestion at the meeting.

Mr Jumabhoy points out that Mr Nathan has misspoken on two occasions, and asks him what prompted the turnaround.

After a long pause, Mr Nathan says: “I’d like to apologise to the court. Having reflected, I can’t recall, because we spoke about many things (during that meeting). I don’t recall having put this suggestion to Mr Singh.”

Mr Jumabhoy replies: “This feels like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Is that your final answer?” Laughter is heard in the courtroom.

The defence counsel grills Mr Nathan on the possibility that Singh had responded to the suggestion to only mention the victim’s age by saying “don’t even think about covering this up with another lie”.

Mr Nathan says he cannot recall, but accepts it as a possibility. He adds that he only recalls asking Singh why the party was changing direction.

The court breaks for lunch.
