Singapore: Opposition leader found guilty of lying to parliament

Pritam Singh, leader of the Workers' Party, was found guilty of two counts of lying to a parliamentary committee about Raeesah Khan's false testimony, as stated by Judge Luke Tan.
Singh received a fine of S$7,000 for each count, totaling S$14,000, but this does not disqualify him from running in the upcoming elections, confirmed by Eugene Tan.
Raeesah Khan resigned after admitting she lied in parliament, which contributed to the scrutiny on Singh and the Workers' Party's image decline.
The Workers' Party aims to challenge the People's Action Party's long-standing dominance in the upcoming general election.
