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

[powerrr]

i think is just a matter of live transcribing and reporting difference between people

If I say:

1) I have no doubt X’s honesty is an issue.
2) I have no doubt X’s honesty.

You don’t see the difference?

People who have children would also know their children are better off growing up in Singapore than most of the world. Whether PS is right or wrong can be summarised by the judge’s verdict. No need go in to all this bickering.

Thanks for the laugh today, bruh.

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.”

lol what a fk-ing snake

I guess that’s why people have trust issues.

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.”

Sylvia Lim told Low Thia Khiang it’s not easy for the government to find out about Raeesah Khan’s lie because 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 chair 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.

They may not have instructed her to take it to the grave, I doubt they were going to make her fess up if sham didn't press the issue.

People who have children would also know their children are better off growing up in Singapore than most of the world. Whether PS is right or wrong can be summarised by the judge’s verdict. No need go in to all this bickering.

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 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........
