Singapore’s Leader of the Opposition, Pritam Singh, was convicted of giving false testimony to a parliamentary committee regarding ex-lawmaker Raeesah Khan’s misconduct. The court found Singh, 48, guilty of two charges related to misleading the Committee of Privileges in December 2021. He faces up to 3 years in jail, a SGD 7,000 fine, or both per charge. His conviction could disqualify him from Parliament ahead of elections due by November 2025. "Any claim he made to the COP to the contrary was a lie he wilfully told," said Judge Luke Tan. Sentencing is pending.
