On July 7, 2026, Leader of the House Indranee Rajah is scheduled to deliver a ministerial statement in Parliament concerning the conduct of Workers' Party (WP) leaders Sylvia Lim and Faisal Manap. This statement will address the findings of the Committee of Privileges (COP) regarding their involvement in events related to former WP member Raeesah Khan's falsehoods presented in Parliament in 2021.
In late 2021, Raeesah Khan, then-MP for Sengkang GRC, admitted to fabricating a story she had shared in Parliament about accompanying a sexual assault victim to a police station. This admission led to an investigation by the COP, which, in early 2022, found that WP leaders Pritam Singh, Sylvia Lim, and Faisal Manap had lied under oath during the probe into Khan's actions.
The COP's report stated that if these leaders had guided Khan to repeat her falsehoods in Parliament, such conduct would be unbecoming of a parliamentarian and would amount to contempt of Parliament.
In December 2025, following the conviction of Pritam Singh for lying to Parliament, Indranee Rajah indicated that the implications of this case for Sylvia Lim and Faisal Manap would be discussed in Parliament.
The upcoming ministerial statement by Indranee Rajah is expected to provide a determination on the conduct of Lim and Manap, based on the COP's findings and the court's judgment in Singh's case. The Parliament session on July 7 will also address other matters, including questions related to Singapore's policy on the public screening of dialect films.
The Workers' Party has previously disputed the COP's findings, and the party's MPs have expressed dissent regarding the motion to be discussed in Parliament. The upcoming session is anticipated to be a significant event in Singapore's political landscape, as it will address the conduct of prominent opposition leaders and the broader implications for parliamentary integrity.
