thebalanced.newsSingapore Workers' Party Reprimands Leader Pritam Singh for Lying to Parliament
Singapore's opposition Workers' Party (WP) has formally reprimanded its Secretary-General Pritam Singh for lying to a parliamentary committee, following a disciplinary panel's finding that he breached party rules. The party's Central Executive Committee (CEC) issued the reprimand after the high court upheld Singh's conviction on two counts in December 2025. Despite the reprimand, Singh faces no current restrictions on seeking office in the party's 2026 election. WP chairperson Sylvia Lim and vice-chair Faisal Manap recused themselves from related CEC meetings due to their involvement as witnesses.
