Singapore: A Workers' Party (WP)
disciplinary panel
investigating secretary-general Pritam Singh has completed its probe into whether the WP chief had contravened the party's constitution, after his court conviction for lying to a parliamentary committee.
"The panel will present its finalised report and recommendations to the Central Executive Committee (CEC) in April," WP said in a statement on Saturday (4 Apr).
"The Notice of the Special Cadre Members' Conference will be issued within two weeks thereafter," it added.
The disciplinary panel was set up by the CEC in January, following the High Court's decision to uphold Mr Singh's conviction in December 2025 following an
appeal
.

The
panel
comprises Sengkang GRC MPs Jamus Lim and He Ting Ru and also former Hougang MP Png Eng Huat.
Mr Singh, who was then the Leader of the Opposition (LO), was
found guilty
in February 2025 of two counts of wilfully giving false answers to a parliamentary committee, stemming from how he dealt with a lie told by former WP MP Raeesah Khan in Parliament.
A group of cadre members had earlier
requested
that a special conference be held and CNA understands that Mr Singh's position as party chief could be among the topics discussed.
WP had announced at the start of January that the conference would only be called after the
disciplinary panel had completed its investigations, considering the need for due process.
Later in January, Parliament
backed a motion
expressing regret at Mr Singh's conduct and deeming him unfit to continue as LO.
10 WP Mps and one WP Non-constituency MP recorded their dissent.
Shortly after, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong
removed Mr Singh
from his role and invited WP to nominate another MP to fill the LO position, but the party rejected the offer, saying that the position should be held by the leader of the largest opposition party in parliament.
The Law Society of Singapore then
initiated disciplinary proceedings
against Mr Singh in March over his conviction.
