SINGAPORE, July 7 — Disciplinary proceedings brought by the Law Society of Singapore against Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh will be heard on August 13 before the Court of Three Judges, the body empowered to suspend or strike lawyers off the roll.

The Straits Times reported that the hearing list on the Singapore Courts website shows the case will be presided over by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, Justice Kannan Ramesh and Justice See Kee Oon. The Law Society is represented by Senior Counsel Cavinder Bull and his team from Drew & Napier, while Singh is represented by Peter Cuthbert Low of Peter Low Chambers.

Singh, an MP for Aljunied GRC and a non‑practising lawyer, was convicted in February 2025 of lying under oath to the Committee of Privileges. The case stemmed from former WP MP Raeesah Khan’s false statement in Parliament in 2021 regarding a sexual assault case she claimed the police mishandled. Singh lost his appeal in December 2025 and paid a S$14,000 (RM44,127) fine.

Following the conviction, Parliament passed a motion deeming him unfit to continue as Leader of the Opposition. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong formally removed him from the role on January 15.

A Law Society spokesperson told ST in March that it was required under the Legal Profession Act to initiate disciplinary action once the Attorney‑General’s Chambers confirmed Singh had been convicted of offences involving fraud or dishonesty. Possible sanctions include being struck off, fined up to S$100,000, or censured.

Separately, the Workers’ Party convened its own disciplinary panel and issued Singh a formal reprimand for breaching two articles of the party constitution. Despite internal dissent from some cadres, Singh was re‑elected secretary‑general on June 28 with what the party described as a “super‑majority” of votes.
