of Workers' Party secretary-general Pritam Singh and vice-chair Faisal Manap in relation to former party member Raeesah Khan's hearings before a parliamentary committee.
Last February, Parliament voted to refer the conduct of the two opposition party leaders to the Public Prosecutor, or the Attorney-General, for further probe. The committee, chaired by Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin, was convened to investigate former WP MP Raeesah Khan over lies that she had told the House in 2021. She claimed to have accompanied a sexual assault victim to a police station where the victim was treated insensitively, but this was later found to be untrue.The committee submitted a 1,180-page report after the hearings and Parliament voted in favour of the committee’s recommendation to levy a fine of S$35,000 against Ms Raeesah.
