While the Law Society of Singapore's disciplinary proceedings against Pritam Singh are within its rights, the timing and necessity of such action warrant scrutiny. Singh's conviction for lying under oath occurred in February 2025, and he was removed from the position of Leader of the Opposition in January 2026. The delay in initiating disciplinary proceedings raises questions about the urgency and appropriateness of the Law Society's intervention. Additionally, as a non-practising lawyer, the impact of such proceedings on Singh's professional standing may be limited, suggesting that alternative measures could have been considered.
