Parliament to hear ministerial statement on WP’s Sylvia Lim and Faisal Manap

The Leader of the House noted then that “the COP was of the view that if Mr Singh, Ms Lim and Mr Faisal had guided Ms Khan to repeat her lie in parliament, then such conduct would be unbecoming of a parliamentarian, and would amount to contempt of parliament”.

Parliament previously postponed making a decision on the matter until after the outcome of Mr Singh’s case, as all three WP members disputed the COP report, said Ms Indranee.

Mr Singh was convicted of two charges of lying to parliament in February 2025, and his appeal was dismissed by the High Court in early December.

MPs will also discuss questions related to Singapore’s policy on publicly screening dialect films. This comes after only limited screenings of the film Dear You in Teochew were made available, while a Mandarin-dubbed version was released for general screenings, sparking public debate.
