Singapore’s opposition leader, Pritam Singh, was fined for lying to parliament while helping MP Raeesah Khan cover up a false witness account. Singh, 48, leader of the Workers’ Party, was found guilty of misleading a parliamentary committee but narrowly avoided disqualification from upcoming elections. The ruling People’s Action Party (PAP), in power since 1959, faces a growing but struggling opposition. District Judge Luke Tan ruled that Singh had not done enough to ensure Khan admitted her lie. As elections loom, the case raises concerns over political accountability and the challenges faced by Singapore’s opposition in breaking PAP’s stronghold.
