Pritam Singh’s statement
Shortly after sentencing, Mr Singh posted a media statement on his Facebook page, laying out his “side of the story,” the arguments that his lawyers, Andre Jumabhoy & Aristotle Eng, made to Court. His statement maybe found in full in English & Mandarin here. Among facts laid out by Mr Singh’s legal team, they wrote that WP chief had emphatically rejected pleas from former party cadres Loh Pei Ying and Yudhishthra Nathan, “to cover up Raeesah’s lie with another one.” “Mr Singh never hid the fact, it was Ms Khan’s duty to take responsibility & ownership of the issue & that was her decision to continue to lie, a fact that he made clear to Ms Khan in contemporaneous WhatsApp message on 23 Nov 2021, & from which she did not demur,” lawyers added.
Mr Singh wrote toward the end of his statement, “In the test of who is telling the truth, actions speak louder than words.” In answer to questions from the media, especially about the upcoming General Election, Mr Singh said that he will let the public decide and that he intends to contest in the election. “We’ll see what happens… you can ask me again on Polling Day.”
