SINGAPORE: Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh will return to court on Thursday (Dec 4) to find out whether his appeal against his conviction for lying to a parliamentary privileges committee has been successful.<\/p>\n

Singh was convicted in February of lying to a parliamentary committee about getting then fellow party member Raeesah Khan to come clean about a story she had told parliament.<\/p>\n

The Workers’ Party (WP) secretary-general was handed the maximum fine of S$7,000 (US$5,400) for each of the two charges he was convicted of, in a case that held implications for his eligibility to contest in this year’s General Election.<\/p>\n

High Court judge Steven Chong is expected to deliver his verdict on Singh’s appeal later this morning.<\/p>\n
