Pritam Singh Convicted of Lying to Committee of Privileges in Raeesah Khan Case

Author: The Online Citizen
 
Article Summary:
 
Theme: The article reports on the conviction of Workers' Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh for lying to the Committee of Privileges (COP) in relation to the false anecdote shared by former WP MP Raeesah Khan in Parliament.
 
Core Points:
 
- Pritam Singh was convicted of two charges under the Parliament (Privileges, Immunities and Powers) Act for providing false testimony to the COP in December 2021.
 
- The charges stemmed from Singh's statements regarding his interactions with Raeesah Khan after she admitted to lying in Parliament about a personal experience.
 
- The court found that Singh's testimony was "uncorroborated and unbelievable."
 
Phenomenon:
 
- The article highlights the legal consequences of Singh's conviction, including the potential for disqualification from Parliament and its impact on the WP's standing ahead of the next general election.
 
- The article also touches upon the potential political implications of the case, with some voters possibly perceiving the conviction as politically damaging and others seeing it as an example of bullying tactics by the ruling party.
 
Key Findings from the Judge's Verdict:
 
- The judge ruled that Singh did not intend for Khan to correct her false statement in Parliament, accepting Khan's claim that Singh had advised her to "take it to the grave" during a meeting with WP leaders.
 
- The judge highlighted inconsistencies in Singh's statements and actions, suggesting that he did not genuinely intend to push for the truth to be revealed.
 
- The judge found that Singh deliberately misled the COP, stating that his claims of wanting Khan to come clean were "a lie he wilfully told."
 
- The judge dismissed the defense's attempts to discredit Khan's testimony, finding that all versions consistently indicated that WP leaders did not instruct Khan to clarify her falsehood.
 
Sentencing and Political Implications:
 
- Singh faces a potential jail term of up to three years, a fine of up to S$7,000, or both for each charge.
 
- The prosecution has indicated it will seek only a fine, but the judge is not bound by this recommendation.
 
- The case could impact the WP's standing ahead of the next general election, with potential implications for both the party and Singaporean politics.

It was an obvious lie...no need to think about it.

The key point is why he go all out of it to cover for her?
Any Party Leader including LTK will immediately sack RK even before she confess in parliament. 

Prit is a Intelligent man, why he taken such a long time to throw her under the bus when investigated?

That is the mystery of this case..

Bullying tactics by the ruling party as usual

[Tangsen]

[Bluebull]

Any difference between a perceived lie and a blatant cover up?
TCJ and Mango Cheng tried to cover up
CECAWARAN tried to cover up
David Ong tried to cover up
Michael Palmer tried to cover up
Devan Nair tried to cover up
But the biggest cover up is of course by Shame
If Shame is Singh, the other way round, there is no escape by now

[RiseofAsia]

Fine, jail or resign?

Dont laugh!
Fine less than 10k will be small case lah.
