Pritam Singh struck off as lawyer after not contesting Law Society application
Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon said it was not disputed that the WP chief's offences involved dishonesty, and did not meet the high threshold for an exception to being struck off.
Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon ruled that Pritam Singh, the Workers Party chief, was not eligible for an exception to being struck off the roll of advocates due to his dishonesty-related offenses. Singh did not contest the decision in his disciplinary hearing at the Court of Three Judges on Aug 13. The Law Society of Singapore sought his removal following convictions for giving false evidence under oath.
Singh was fined S$14,000 for the charges, but his appeal to overturn the conviction and sentence was dismissed by the High Court in December 2025.
