[LIVE AS WE GO] Pritam Singh goes on trial for charges of lying to Parliament

[yperic]

Defence questions why Yudhishthra Nathan asked Pritam about change in party strategy

Defence lawyer Andre Jumabhoy asks Mr Yudhishthra Nathan if he remembers what he had asked Pritam Singh during the Oct 12, 2021 meeting between himself, Singh and Ms Loh Pei Ying.

Mr Nathan says he asked Singh “how come the party was now getting (Ms Raeesah Khan) to come clean, but cannot remember the question he had asked verbatim.

Mr Jumabhoy asks how many ways that question can be asked, adding that the question seems straightforward. He goes on to ask why Mr Nathan could not remember the question.

Mr Nathan says the meeting took place three years ago.

Mr Jumabhoy asks if that was the first time Mr Nathan had heard Singh mention the change in party strategy and if it was also the first time Mr Nathan and Ms Loh had a chance to question Singh on the new change. He also asks if it was significant.

Low Thia Khiang arrives

Former Workers’ Party secretary-general Low Thia Khiang arrives in court for the trial of Pritam Singh, the current party chief.

Mr Low is expected to be called as one of the prosecution’s witnesses.

 

[Courage]

Yes, we all hope the COP will have its own independent inquiry. But for now, the focus for this trial is not about the shortcomings or botched up processes. We are aware they play a part in the evidence that could prove otherwise for PS. So putting aside COP and all that, if it can be proven that PS did not lie, case closed.

It's the onus of Prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Pritam lied. This is different from Defense proving Pritam has not lied. Not the same thing

 

[meridian]

Walao got kelong or not?

 

[TopGun]

I don't think that the rejection is a big deal. The redacted text could really be neutral.

Defence has already set out that Nathan is capable of taking actions to save his own skin, including lying to the COP.

 

[rizhal]

What did the cop say about the witnesses in its findings?

Day and night.

Hahaha

Yeah judge already highlighted the low credibility of all the 3 witnesses.

can forget about the redacted material now.

Yup. I also think that's what judge meant.

 

[xdivider]

its probably to give cop a bit of face. the whole job was done by a bunch of amateurs.......

[mryang]

How about the deleted msg ? Can get them look like they might have deleted msg of Convo 1 to 1 also. Instead of group msg

Good enough that it’s already revealed that they got to redact so much without supervision. Sometimes don’t need to 打破砂锅问到底

 

[carey]

VAR no goal.

Ya lor, as mentioned earlier, player's nose hair was offside

 

[Courage]

Actually the redactions can be used to prove the lack of credibility of the 3 pap IB. Instead judge dismissed that idea from defense

But he can remember things like he ting ru being bias and PS talking about MPs being sexually assaulted.
Ok.

 

[Baddieko]

I never like Shan. I find him damn condescending towards opposition members.

Shan is LKY’s most loyal guy. Almost to extremist level.

 

[charleslee1989]

Especially ET..

And to think that this character is likely to be our future law minister...

As for ET, he stood up and represented Kong Hee while being a MP and in some Law committee ( forgotten is Parliament committee or PAP internal committee).

 

[mryang]

So tomorrow ltk testify whole day?

That's the key point - could be

If these were really nothing, why not release?

That would satisfy everyone and stop speculation woah
