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

[MatrixFanatic]

I must say, for a bunch of staffers for politicians, they really are quite bad at compliance.

Oppies suck in general. Sinkies are not dumb. The vote is there and there are many reasons why the Pappies always win.

“He also recalls that at one of the dinners, Mr Mike Lim, Ms Khan’s legislative assistant, was on a phone call with Pritam Singh. Before the call, Ms Loh told Mr Lim to tell Singh that she had been called to the COP and would not lie to save the party.

Asked what was Singh’s response, Mr Nathan says Singh had told Mr Lim to tell Ms Loh to tell the truth, “which was a response that surprised me”. He adds he was shocked when Singh told the COP he did not know Ms Loh was going to testify.”

[meridian]

Ltk turn now?

 

[mynickname]

the point is why are we having a trial on whether someone told a convicted liar to lie based on the words of a convicted liar and equally shaky witnesses........

When you have a cell full of liars, you still need to find out who farted.

Defence asks Yudhishthra Nathan about meetings with Loh Pei Ying and Raeesah Khan
During Mr Yudhishthra Nathan’s cross examination earlier, Mr Andre Jumabhoy asks about two dinners Mr Nathan had with Ms Loh Pei Ying on Nov 29 and Dec 1, 2021. Mr Jumabhoy says that Mr Nathan and Ms Loh had been “aligning (their) facts right from the COP”.
Denying this, Mr Nathan says they had talked about Ms Raeesah Khan’s fear about exposing the WP leaders at the Committee of Privileges (COP). Ms Khan was also at the dinner on Dec 1, 2021.
Mr Nathan says Ms Khan was afraid of going to the COP and “telling the truth that party leaders told her to maintain the lie since August”, even though she had resigned.
He also recalls that at one of the dinners, Mr Mike Lim, Ms Khan’s legislative assistant, was on a phone call with Singh. Before the call, Ms Loh told Mr Lim to tell Singh that she had been called to the COP and would not lie to save the party.
Asked what was Singh’s response, Mr Nathan says Singh had told Mr Lim to tell Ms Loh to tell the truth, “which was a response that surprised me”. He adds that he was shocked when Singh told the COP Singh did not know Ms Loh was going to testify.
Mr Andre Jumabhoy points to a message from Ms Loh where she told Mr Lim to be careful when he talks to Singh because the conversation might be recorded.
“Please don’t tell him we met before the COP ok? This one really cannot say,” the message said.
Mr Nathan also sent a message to the same chatgroup: “Just to protect yourself.”
Asked by Mr Jumabhoy what this meant, Mr Nathan says: “I guess it's because just in case Mr Singh would try to use that info against him.”

Nasty
Guess they are saying Pritam can't be trusted

Sylvia Lim told Low Thia Khiang it’s not easy for Govt to find out about Raeesah’s lie as there are many police stations in S’pore

Deputy Public Prosecutor Ben Mathias Tan asks Mr Low Thia Khiang about a meeting on Oct 11, 2021, between himself, Pritam Singh and Workers’ Party (WP) chairwoman Sylvia Lim

The former WP chief had saved the date in his phone calendar. He says Ms Lim had sent him a text message to initiate the meeting.

The trio met at Mr Low’s house, where Ms Lim told him that Ms Raeesah Khan had lied in Parliament.

Ms Lim had also said she was considering holding a press conference for Ms Khan to issue an apology, but Mr Low says he told the party leaders that Ms Khan should apologise in Parliament instead.

“Since Raeesah Khan lied in Parliament, the correct forum to apologise is in Parliament”, Mr Low says of his advice to Ms Lim and Singh.

In response to a question from DPP Tan, Mr Low says he had also asked Ms Lim and Singh if the Government knew about the lie.

He recalls that Ms Lim replied that the Government did not know and “it is not easy to know because there are so many police stations in Singapore”.

DPP Tan asks Mr Low if Singh said anything at that point. Mr Low says no.

 

[EdenHazard]

The admission by nathan that the three musketeers met up to discuss before COP started alone can close case liao la I feel

 

[couch.potato]

i see you have given up your freedom and integrity for the expense of food and security. there is no doubt that singapore is better off than some other country, but its deteriorating as speak, high living cost, most stressful environment, proliferating spendings, etc. one good example is the integrity of the COP in this case and the PAP leaderships in case like NTUC insurance, demolish of LKY estate, etc.

by the way, i treat my pet dog better than most of other people.

The recent ntuc Allianz thing really was the last straw for me… hearing the debates was like saying out right “who cares about the people? We only care about shareholders u understand?”

 

[NTB2DO]

ya, how to care? we already gave PAP the blank cheque...

PAP just keep importing FTs and give them new citizenship which dilute the votes of pure blue singaporeans.

Yup. PAP checks on oppositions, but who checks on PAP?

 

[mynickname]

I still don't see how they can prosecute Pritam beyond a reasonable doubt. Evidence all shaky and provided by bunch of liars and drama queens

It's all staging for ge for sure.

 

[LambTaco]

i can literally hear his voice in my head - "MR SPEAKER SIR"

"SPEAKER, IF MINISTER DIDN'T ASK ME, I SUGGEST YOU DONT ASK ME"

 

[Baddieko]

LHL's also, it seems.

Being his son and considering LKY saved his marriage life and career yeah..Im convinced the old loyalists of previous dynasty need to be out then sg will be better place.

Prosecution questions Low Thia Khiang on what Pritam Singh and Sylvia Lim told him about Raeesah Khan’s lie

Deputy Public Prosecutor Ben Mathias Tan next questions former Workers’ Party (WP) chief Low Thia Khiang about what he was told during the meeting with Pritam Singh and Ms Sylvia Lim on Oct 11.

DPP Tan asks if Singh or Ms Lim told him that they had informed Ms Raeesah Khan to clarify her untruth in Parliament, and he says no.

“During this meeting, did Pritam Singh or Sylvia Lim tell you that they had already told Raeesah Khan to speak to her parents about the sexual assault?” asks DPP Tan, to which Mr Low says no.

DPP Tan then asks if Mr Low was told that Singh had gone to Ms Khan’s house on Oct 3 and told her to clarify the untruth in Parliament the next day. He replies no.

He also answers no when asked if Ms Lim told him about Ms Khan’s sexual assault.

“So earlier you mentioned that Sylvia Lim broke the news to you that Raeesah Khan had lied in Parliament, what was your impression of what Pritam Singh and Sylvia Lim had found out about the lie?” asks DPP Tan.

“I didn't have any impression when they found out,” Mr Low answers. “They broke the news to me, so this is a problem and I participated in the discussion.”

He repeats this answer when prompted again, and adds that he was unaware of when the Parliament sitting was and had not been following Parliament closely.

WP leaders told Low Thia Khiang on Oct 11 that they planned to expel Raeesah Khan

Pritam Singh and Workers’ Party (WP) chair Sylvia Lim told former WP chief Low Thia Khiang that they planned to expel Ms Raeesah Khan, when they met Mr Low on Oct 11, 2021.

The WP later announced it convened a disciplinary panel on Ms Khan’s actions on Nov 2, 2021, a day after she came clean in Parliament.

Mr Low added there was no mention at the Oct 11 meeting of Ms Khan’s position as an MP, but that Singh and Ms Lim also told him they planned to hold a press conference for Ms Khan to come clean about lying to Parliament.

Asked for his response to the planned press conference, Mr Low said: “I told them that it doesn't work to just use a press conference or a statement. Because Raeesah Khan lied in Parliament, the correct forum is Parliament, and she should apologise and clarify in Parliament.”

When asked by Deputy Public Prosecutor Ben Mathias Tan what the pair said in response to this, Mr Low says he does not remember.
