A Workers’ Party disciplinary panel looking into secretary general Pritam Singh’s conduct has completed its investigation into whether the chief had contravened the party’s constitution, after his court conviction for lying under oath to a parliamentary committee.
“The panel will present its finalised report and recommendations to the Central Executive Committee in April,” Singapore’s opposition party said in a statement on Saturday.
“The Notice of the Special Cadre Members’ Conference will be issued within two weeks thereafter,” it added.
The disciplinary panel was set up by the executive committee in January, following the High Court’s decision to uphold Singh’s conviction in December 2025, following an appeal.
The panel comprises Sengkang GRC MPs Jamus Lim and He Ting Ru and also former Hougang MP Png Eng Huat.

In January, Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong stripped Singh of his role as the city state’s first Leader of the Opposition.
Singh, MP for Aljunied constituency, was fined S$14,000 (US$10,880) on February 17, 2025, for lying under oath to a parliamentary committee looking into the lie former Worker’s Party MP Raeesah Khan told in parliament.
The court found that Singh had told the Committee of Privileges that he had advised Khan to tell the truth when in fact he had instructed her to “take her lie to the grave” and said he would not judge her if she maintained her lie in parliament.
Singh’s conviction was upheld on December 4, 2025, after he appealed against it.
