‘If she does something correct and good… you will not judge her?’: DAG Ang

Deputy Attorney-General Ang Cheng Hock puts it to Pritam Singh that the phrase “I will not judge you” is often used when someone is about to admit something bad.

Singh disagrees.

“Mr Singh, let me ask you a couple of questions on logic, okay, which will go to show to a great degree your level of honesty and candour,” DAG Ang says.

He gives the example of someone wanting to skip work the next day. “Then you tell your friend, ‘Aiyah, I think I’m going to get an MC so I can skip work tomorrow,’ and then your friend will say, ‘Okay go ahead, I won’t judge you.’”

Singh folds his arms and disagrees.

DAG Ang gives another example of someone making up an excuse to skip a relative’s birthday. His wife might say, “I won’t judge you”. “That is how ‘I won’t judge you’ is commonly used, agree?” asks DAG Ang.

Singh disagrees.

DAG Ang asks: “So your evidence is that if she does something correct and good tomorrow, which is to tell the truth, you will not judge her?

Singh says: “That’s right.”

Judge seeks clarification over Pritam Singh’s ‘I will not judge you’ statement

Deputy Principal District Judge Luke Tan interjected at one point during the cross-examination to clarify the context in which Pritam Singh told Ms Raeesah Khan: “I will not judge you”.

Singh says he believed Ms Khan was concerned when she was asked to take ownership and responsibility of her lie, so telling her that he would not judge her was an attempt to assuage her so she would tell the truth.

He adds that people tend to form a negative opinion of those who lie, but if she tells the truth, he will not judge her for her lie.

The judge asks if Singh was speaking on behalf of others as well, to which Singh said no.

“You are saying that she looked relieved that you, as secretary-general of the party, would not form a negative opinion of her?” the judge asks.

“That’s right,” says Singh.

 

[jeffprobst]

but the judge asking him to reply yes/no.
if the qn is hypothetical, how to even answer yes /no. you reply yes or no no matter what u already gg. as there is an underlying assumption.

just refer below video for example.

They trying to do a fast one like how COP did the previous round mah. totally unethical imo.

You know it is bad when the Judge has to interject so many times just to get to the crux of the questioning.....

Prosecution says Pritam's evidence is 'incredible' and 'utterly contrary'

An Oct 7, 2021, e-mail sent by Ms Raeesah Khan to the Workers' Party leaders, informing them that the police had requested an interview with her, is being read out by Deputy Attorney-General Ang Cheng Hock.

In the e-mail, Ms Khan had also said: "Thanks for listening to me, for caring for me and for guiding me through this without judgment."

DAG Ang notes that Pritam Singh did not reply to Ms Khan's e-mail and asks if it is because she had followed his guidance to continue with the narrative.

He also asks if Ms Khan was thanking Singh for "not judging her" after she stuck to her lie on Oct 4,

Singh disagrees and says: "I didn't reply to this e-mail because it was very frustrating to read it considering what she had done on Oct 4."

He adds that he was focused on having to guide her to make a clarification with a personal statement.

DAG Ang suggests that if Singh did ask Ms Khan to come clean, she would have known that he would "take her to task" after she doubled down on her lie on Oct 4.

"And instead of being afraid that you’ll take her to task, she sends you this email to thank you for ‘caring for me and guiding me without judgment’," he says.

Singh replies: “I didn’t tell her to continue the narrative.”

DAG Ang says: "Mr Singh, I would have to put it to you that your evidence is incredible, do you agree?"

Singh disagrees.

DAG continues: "It’s utterly contrary to how both you and her behaved during this material time. Do you agree?"

Singh disagrees.
