Pritam Singh Faces Heated Cross-Examination in Trial Over Alleged Lies

The Workers' Party leader is accused of misleading the parliamentary Committee of Privileges regarding former MP Raeesah Khan's false statements.

Deputy Attorney-General Ang Cheng Hock aggressively questioned Singh about inconsistencies in his testimonies to the Committee of Privileges and in court.
Singh is facing two charges of lying under oath during hearings about Raeesah Khan's false claims in parliament regarding a police station visit with a rape victim.
The prosecution accused Singh of giving Khan the option to maintain her falsehood and not making adequate preparations for her to clarify the lie.
Singh defended his actions, stating he believed Khan understood she needed to tell the truth if questioned in parliament.
The trial has seen tense exchanges, with Singh's lawyer objecting to interruptions and the prosecution highlighting contradictions in Singh's statements.
