Pritam Singh’s comment on his court case ‘outrageous, plainly wrong and completely unacceptable’
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 remark “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.
“Let’s be clear what happened in this case,” said Mr Tong. “Mr Singh was investigated and then he was charged. He went through a full and open trial and was convicted by the court for lying to a parliamentary Select Committee.
“No one should dismiss or denigrate the court’s judgment, or suggest that public opinion can trump a court’s decision,” added Mr Tong.
