PUBLISHED ONApril 04, 2026 4:55 AMBYSean LerA disciplinary panel looking into whether Workers' Party (WP) secretary-general Pritam Singh had contravened the party's constitution following his conviction for lying to a parliamentary committee has completed its probe.
In a statement on Saturday (April 4), the Workers' Party said the panel will present its finalised report and recommendations to the central executive committee in April.
It added that notice for a special cadre members' conference will be issued within two works of the submission.
The panel was formed in January after Singh's failed appeal against his conviction. It comprises WP MPs He Ting Ru, Assoc Prof Jamus Lim and former Hougang MP Png Eng Huat.
On Dec 4, 2025, the High Court dismissed Singh's appeal against his conviction for lying to a parliamentary committee in 2021.
He paid the total fine of $14,000 the same day.
Singh was removed as Leader of the Opposition (LO) on Jan 15 and the post has been left vacant after the Workers' Party said it was unable to nominate a new LO.
He has also moved to a new seat in Parliament following his removal as LO.
The Law Society of Singapore has also initiated disciplinary proceedings against Singh, who was called to the bar in 2011.
According to the hearing list on the Singapore Courts’ website, a case management conference was scheduled to be heard by Assistant Registrar James Low on March 25.
The nature of the case was described as "disciplinary proceedings for advocates and solicitors of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Singapore".
Based on the listing, the Law Society is represented by a team from Drew & Napier led by Senior Counsel Cavinder Bull, while Singh is self-represented.
