2022-02-11 06:07:04 The Workers’ Party Media Release: 11 Feb 2022

The Committee of Privileges (COP) has released its final report. The government has filed a motion to debate this report in Parliament next week.

In this report, the COP calls for a fine of $35,000 for Ms Raeesah Khan for lying in Parliament and refers the Leader of the Opposition Mr Pritam Singh and fellow Aljunied GRC MP Mr Faisal Manap to the Public Prosecutor for possible criminal charges.

The Workers’ Party notes these developments with grave concern. The last time criminal charges were brought against an elected Opposition MP relating to their political work was in the 1980s.

Mr Pritam Singh, Ms Sylvia Lim and Mr Faisal Manap will be expressing their views on the COP report in Parliament (which, like the COP, is dominated by MPs from the ruling People’s Action Party). Mr Singh and Mr Faisal will also co-operate with the Public Prosecutor and defend themselves in court in the event that charges are brought.

While the two elected Aljunied GRC MPs, Mr Singh and Mr Faisal Manap, address these matters, the Party will continue to work for Singapore and Singaporeans. All our elected MPs will continue to serve our constituents to the very best of our ability while the Party’s work in other constituencies continues.

Since its founding in 1957, The Workers’ Party has been through many trials and tribulations. We thank all Singaporeans who have supported us through the decades. We are confident that we will persevere and continue our mission of contributing to the building of our democratic society.

COP Report
——————

I have looked at the COP report and its recommendation to refer Faisal Manap and I for prosecution. I will speak more extensively on the COP report in Parliament when it is tabled for debate, expected to be sometime next week.

Assuming Parliament adopts the Committee’s recommendations, there remain a number of unknowns. These include the eventual decision of the Public Prosecutor to prosecute, the intervening time before the matter goes to trial, the eventual verdict and any sentence meted out, and the prospect of both Faisal and I losing our parliamentary seats and stepping down as Members of Parliament if either of us is fined $2000 or more.

Until there is some resolution to these matters which may take some time yet, Faisal and I will continue our work - including but not limited to MPS, estate walks, house visits and other parliamentary commitments - as per normal. The same goes for Team Workers' Party and its activities, including our outreach efforts in previously contested constituencies.

As always, Sylvia, Faisal and I are grateful to the public for their support of the Workers’ Party, and all three of us, like our party colleagues will continue to serve to the best of our abilities. Finally, we thank the public for your encouragement and support towards the efforts of The Workers’ Party in building a more democratic Singapore, one that all Singaporeans can be proud of. That work will continue.
