‘Your evidence is incredible’: Prosecutor seeks to show Pritam Singh’s ‘level of honesty and candor’

ARGUMENTS ABOUT MS KHAN WHO APPEARS TO BE REDUCED ON OCTOBER 3

Mr Ang, senior counsel, took Singh through a series of questions in which he suggested to Singh that he was being dishonest in his answers.

He referred Singh to a meeting he had with Ms Khan on October 3, 2021 – a day before she repeated her lie in Parliament.

Singh has previously testified that he told Ms Khan she would have to take responsibility and responsibility if the issue came up in Parliament, meaning she would have to tell the truth.

“This was followed by, ‘I wouldn’t judge you’? Is that right?” Mr Ang asked in court, to which Singh agreed.

Singh also agreed that Ms Khan seemed relieved and understood what Singh was saying.

Mr Ang then referred Singh to an email he sent to WP MPs on October 1, 2021, in which he spoke about the importance of substantiating what has been said in Parliament, otherwise you risk facing a COP are towed.

Mr Ang pointed out that Ms Khan probably knew she could be sent to the COP, and expressed disbelief that Ms Khan would appear relieved in such a context.

“The October 1 email was still fresh in her mind,” Mr Ang said, and Singh agreed.

“You tell her to tell the truth, and tomorrow she’ll come clean… She knows she’s going to the police, so she looks visibly relieved? ‘Thank God I’m going to the police’?’ Mr. Ang exclaimed.

Singh disagreed, noting that Mr Ang left out what happened after Singh told Ms Khan to take ownership and responsibility.

“She looked uncomfortable, (and) in that context I told her, ‘I wouldn’t judge you.’ After I said that, she looked a little relieved. I took that to understand that she understood what I said,” Singh said.

Mr. Ang seemed incredulous and asked, “Are you trying to make us believe that you actually told her to admit the untruth, expose herself to COP procedures and she was visibly relieved?” Is that your proof?’

Singh said this was what Mr Ang argued.

Mr Ang then continued: ‘Isn’t it the truth, Mr Singh, that you told her, ‘Continue with the story, I won’t judge you’ and she was relieved because she knew then that she didn’t have to give in that she had lied. parliament and she was not exposed (or) sent to the COP. Isn’t that the truth?”

Singh denied this.

Asked by Deputy Chief District Judge Luke Tan to clarify what he meant by “I will not judge you”, Singh said: “She lied and one tends to form negative opinions about people who lie… (but) if (Mrs Khan clarifies) the matter by telling the truth, I would not condemn (her) for the lie.”

“You mean you won’t judge her negatively?” asked Judge Tan. Singh agreed.
