‘Outrageous, completely unacceptable’: Edwin Tong on Pritam Singh’s comment about court case
Law Minister Edwin Tong on Saturday (Nov 8) criticised Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh for saying “the court of public opinion can be a bigger court than any court in the world”, calling the remarks “outrageous, plainly wrong and completely unacceptable”.
Mr Tong said Mr Singh’s comment, made in a recent CNA’s The Assembly interview, sought to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the court that convicted him of lying to a parliamentary committee.
The Workers’ Party (WP) chief was found guilty in February and fined S$14,000 for two charges linked to how he handled former WP MP Raeesah Khan’s lie in parliament.
“No one should dismiss or denigrate the court’s judgment, or suggest that public opinion can trump a court’s decision,” added Mr Tong. #singapore #sgnews
