Parliament is set to debate if Mr Pritam Singh is suitable to continue as Leader of the Opposition following his conviction for lying to a parliamentary committee.

Leader of the House Indranee Rajah tabled a motion which will be raised on Jan 14, calling on the House to consider that Mr Singh’s “conviction and conduct render him unsuitable to continue as the Leader of the Opposition” and to express regret at his conduct, which was “dishonourable and unbecoming” of an MP.

A Workers’ Party spokesman said the party “will address the matter during the parliamentary sitting, where the motion will be debated”.
