Pritam Singh's lawyer has accused former Workers' Party MP Raeesah Khan of being a habitual liar during the party chief's ongoing trial at the State Courts.
Pritam Singh enters the State Courts on Tuesday alongside his lawyer, Andre Jumabhoy .Pritam Singh's lawyer has accused former Workers' Party MP Raeesah Khan of being a habitual liar during the party chief's ongoing trial at the State Courts.
"You're adding more facts to support a lie... So it's a lie heaped upon a lie, and it’s going to be wrapped up in more lies, isn't it?" Jumabhoy asked. When asked who else she had lied to when she delivered the anecdote, Khan said: "Because I made that speech in parliament, I lied to the whole country."In the hearing, the defence said that there are grounds to impeach Khan's credit as a witness, citing discrepancies within her testimony and evidence.
According to Jumabhoy, her testimony on Tuesday and to the police in the past were "materially different".Deputy Attorney-General Ang Cheng Hock quickly responded to Jumabhoy's attempt at impeachment.
