Workers' Party MPs file parliamentary questions surrounding Keppel Offshore and Marine and SPH Media Trust
SINGAPORE โ Leading opposition party, Workersโ Party, has filed 16 Parliamentary Questions for the upcoming Parliament sitting over two controversial issues that have popped up over the past month.
The first issue is the decision by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) to issue stern warnings to six former executives of the Keppel Offshore and Marine Limited (KOM) in lieu of prosecution for offences punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The offences relate to bribe payments to officials of Petrobras, pertaining to rigs-building contracts which Petrobras and/or its related companies had awarded to KOM, which were said to span over more than a decade.
While CPIB states that the matter is โcomplex and transnationalโ, involving multiple authorities and witnesses from several countries. Many have pointed out that KOM had already pleaded guilty to the offences in a plea agreement with the United States Department of Justice (DoJ).

Can Singaporeโs opposition Workersโ Party ride out scandal of its lying lawmaker Raeesah Khan?
A snowballing controversy involving a lawmaker who resigned after lying in parliament is threatening the Singaporean opposition leader, Pritam Singh, less than 18 months after his party made historic electoral gains with the backing of the city stateโs younger generation.
The saga initially seemed to only involve Raeesah Khan โ a darling among Gen Z and millennial voters โ but an ongoing parliamentary inquiry into the case has dragged Singh and other high-ranking leaders of the Workersโ Party (WP) into the picture.
In a nine-hour testimony last Friday before the parliamentary Committee of Privileges, Singh repeatedly denied suggestions that he acted improperly by failing to take Raeesah to task even though he and two other top party leaders knew within days that her August 3 speech about the police mishandling a sexual assault case contained falsehoods.
Apart from scrutinising Raeesahโs breach of parliamentary rules, the committee โ made up primarilyโฆ

The imbecilic Edwin Tong appears a lot more relaxed and in his element during the latest grilling of a much less adversarial Raeesah Khunt. ;)

Law Society initiates disciplinary proceedings against Pritam Singh
SINGAPORE: The Law Society of Singapore (LawSoc) has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Workers' Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh.
According to the public hearing list, a case management conference between LawSoc and Mr Singh was scheduled for Thursday (Mar 12) afternoon in a Supreme Court chamber.
The listing states that the nature of the case is: Others (disciplinary proceedings for advocates and solicitors of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Singapore).
CNA understands that the case is linked to Mr Singh's conviction over lies told by former Member of Parliamentย Raeesah Khan.
LawSoc was represented by a team of lawyers from Drew & Napier, including its chief executive officer, Senior Counsel Cavinder Bull.The listing indicated that Mr Singh was self-represented.
A case management conference takes place away from the public and media in the early stage of proceedings for the purpose of managing proceedings efficiently, such as by narrowing issues.
For disciplinary issues involving lawyers, LawSoc typically brings charges against the lawyer and a disciplinary tribunal rules on whether the lawyer is guilty or not.
This is followed by a hearing by the Court of Three Judges, where sanctions are imposed if the lawyer is found guilty. Sanctions can range from a fine, suspension to striking out.
CNA has confirmed that Mr Singh listed in the hearing is the WP chief.ย
LawSoc and Mr Singh have also been contacted for more information.
A search by CNA on Friday morning for Mr Singh's name on the Ministry of Law's website listing lawyers and law practices yielded no result.
The case comes after Mr Singh lost his appeal against his conviction for lying to a parliamentary committee.
This was in relation to a lie by former MP Raeesah Khan.
He was convicted and sentenced to a total fine of S$14,000 (US$10,700). The fine, at S$7,000 per charge, did not disqualify him from being a member of parliament as it did not meet the threshold for disqualification.
Mr Singh paid his fine in full the day his appeal was dismissed.
After the appeal was dismissed, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong removed Mr Singh as the Leader of the Opposition.
WP later rejected the roleย after being asked to nominate a replacement.
