Pritam Singh & WP Leaders Admit to Hiding Raeesah Khan's Lie

Pritam Singh and two Workers’ Party (WP) leaders “hid the truth for months” on Raeesah Khan’s lie to parliament.

“They only decided to come clean after Mr Low (Thia Khiang), their former Secretary-General, advised them to do so,” said Leader of the House Indranee Rajah to parliament on Wednesday (Jan 14).

“On Dec 2, 2021, hours before the COP hearing was due to begin, Mr Singh held a press conference and admitted, for the very first time, that the three WP leaders had known of Ms Khan’s untruth shortly after she said it on Aug 3, 2021.

“Mr Singh described this timing as a pure, complete coincidence. This was unbelievable,” said Ms Indranee

She said this while raising a motion on WP chief Pritam Singh’s suitability to continue as Leader of the Opposition, following his conviction for lying.
