High Court dismisses Pritam Singh’s appeal against conviction for lying to parliamentary committee


He was convicted and sentenced to a total fine of S$14,000 (US$10,700). The fine, at S$7,000 per charge, did not disqualify him from being a member of parliament as it did not meet the threshold for disqualification.

The Elections Department said after his sentencing that disqualification is based on the sentence for a single offence. The threshold for disqualification is at least a year’s jail, or a fine of at least S$10,000 per offence.
