SINGAPORE: Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh said on Tuesday (Mar 19) that he will continue with all parliamentary duties and town council responsibilities until the legal process related to his charges comes to a “complete close”.
He was charged on Tuesday with making false statements before a parliamentary committee, in relation to a lie that his party’s former lawmaker Raeesah Khan told in the House in 2021.
The 47-year-old, who is also the Leader of the Opposition, pleaded not guilty to two charges under the Parliament (Privileges, Immunities and Powers) Act.
“Until the legal process comes to a complete close, I will continue with all my parliamentary duties and town council responsibilities – including, but not limited to, meet-the-people sessions, estate walks, house visits, Hammer outreaches, amongst others,” he said in a Facebook post.
