Singapore Court Upholds Opposition Leader's Conviction

A Singapore court has upheld the conviction of opposition leader Pritam Singh for lying to a parliamentary committee. The decision confirms his earlier guilty verdict. Singh, the head of the Workers' Party, said he was "disappointed" with the ruling. In a statement, he added that he accepts the judgment "fully and without reservation." The case stems from an investigation into a fellow party member. The court found that Singh gave false testimony during the official inquiry. Sentencing will occur at a later date. The conviction could impact Singh's political career and his seat in parliament.
