Overview
- After about three hours of debate, the motion passed with PAP MPs and Nominated MPs backing it, while all 11 Workers’ Party MPs present recorded their dissent.
- Leader of the House Indranee Rajah said Singh’s conduct was dishonourable, citing court-upheld findings that he lied to the Committee of Privileges and guided Raeesah Khan, with matters involving Sylvia Lim and Faisal Manap to be considered separately.
- Pritam Singh rejected the characterisation and said his conscience remains clear, disputing that he told Khan to “take the lie to the grave” and acknowledging only that he acted too slowly to address her falsehood.
- Courts earlier convicted Singh on two counts of lying under oath to the Committee of Privileges and fined him S$14,000, a judgment the High Court affirmed in December 2025.
- The Workers’ Party has initiated an internal disciplinary panel expected to conclude within about three months and received a request for a special cadres’ conference, while Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s decision on the Leader of the Opposition designation remains pending.
