Singh was convicted in February in a case that involved then-fellow party member Raeesah Khan.
The Workers' Party (WP) secretary-general was handed the maximum fine of S$7,000 (US$5,400) for each of the two charges he was convicted of, in a case that held implications for his eligibility to contest in this year's General Election.
High Court judge Steven Chong has upheld that conviction.
