Singapore Parliament Votes to Remove Opposition Leader After False Testimony Conviction

Singapore's Parliament voted to remove Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh following his conviction for giving false testimony in 2021 regarding a fellow party member's admitted lie in Parliament. The decision, requiring Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's confirmation, reflects concerns over Singh's multiple falsehoods and lack of remorse. Singh accepted the court's verdict and responsibility for delayed correction. The ruling People's Action Party maintains a dominant majority, while the Workers' Party holds the remaining seats. Discussions also considered implications for other party leaders linked to the case.
