The Law Society of Singapore is applying to have Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh struck off the rolls at a disciplinary hearing. According to notices issued ahead of a hearing before the Court of Three Judges on 13 August, the Law Society’s application follows Singh’s conviction for giving false evidence under oath. The outlets report that Singh is a non-practising lawyer, which is described in the context of his professional status as the proceedings progress. The High Court notice indicates that the Law Society is pursuing disciplinary action connected to the conviction, and the case is scheduled for determination by the Court of Three Judges at the August hearing.
The reports focus on the pending application and the timing of the court process, rather than additional details of the underlying disciplinary allegations. Both sources state that the request to strike Singh off the rolls is directly tied to his perjury-related conviction.
