Singapore Opposition Leader Pritam Singh Struck Off as Lawyer Over Parliamentary Lying Conviction
Singapore opposition leader Pritam Singh was struck off the roll of advocates by the Court of Three Judges following his conviction for lying under oath to a parliamentary committee. The disciplinary action, initiated by the Law Society of Singapore under the Legal Profession Act, was based on his criminal conviction involving dishonesty linked to a 2021 parliamentary incident involving former Workers' Party MP Raeesah Khan. Singh lost his appeal in December 2025, paid a SGD 14,000 fine, and was stripped of his Leader of the Opposition title earlier this year.
