Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh told Parliament on Wednesday (Jan 14) that he has continued doing his work since his conviction for lying a month ago, and will keep on doing so.

He was responding to Leader of the House Indranee Rajah’s motion on his suitability as Leader of the Opposition.

Mr Singh added that he fully accepts the authority and the finality of the court’s decision, even though he disagrees with the findings.

“A judgment determines legal responsibility. It does not require a person to abandon their honest belief about their motivations and their values.

“I have not disappeared and avoided scrutiny. It’s been one month since the judgment,” said Mr Singh. “I’ve done my work, I’ve continued to do my work and I will continue to do my work faithfully, as I have done for the last 15 years.”
