Listen SINGAPORE – The Law Society of Singapore will be asking for Workers’ Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh to be struck off the rolls when his disciplinary case is heard on Aug 13, according to a summary of upcoming court fixtures.
Singh, who is an MP for Aljunied GRC, is a non-practising lawyer.
The Law Society’s application follows Singh’s conviction in February 2025 on two counts of lying under oath to the Committee of Privileges.
