SINGAPORE: After a full day of arguments, the High Court on Tuesday (Nov 4) reserved judgment on opposition leader Pritam Singh's appeal against his conviction for lying to a parliamentary committee.

The Workers' Party chief was found guilty in February and fined S$14,000 (US$10,800) for two charges linked to how he handled former MP Raeesah Khan’s lie in parliament.

The case is the first prosecution of its kind under the Parliament (Privileges, Immunities and Powers) Act. Catch up on our live coverage:
