Mediacorp has apologised and taken down an interview featuring Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh that the Attorney-General’s Chambers said was in contempt of court. The interview on CNA’s The Assembly Programme, in which Singh made comments about the court case relating to former Workers Party Member of Parliament Raeesah Khan, was aired on Nov. 5. Singh was later found guilty of lying on oath to the Committee of Privileges. That was a day after Singh’s appeal against his conviction was heard by the court, which the court has called contempt of court. Singh later gave an “unreserved” apology on Dec. 13. In response, the Ministry of Law released a press statement acknowledging Singh’s apology.
