Singapore court struck Pritam Singh off lawyer rolls after conviction

Singapore’s Court of Three Judges struck Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh off the rolls on Thursday after weighing disciplinary action tied to his conviction for giving false evidence under oath. Singh, an MP for Aljunied GRC, was also a non-practising lawyer. The case was brought by the Law Society of Singapore after his criminal conviction. Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon presided over the hearing with Justice Kannan Ramesh and Justice See Kee Oon at the Supreme Court. The decision removes Singh from the legal profession in Singapore, though the reports did not indicate any change to his parliamentary seat or party role.
