Pritam revealed detail of sexual assault against Raeesah’s wishes, say former WP members

between this and how the People’s Action Party handled the extramarital affair between Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin and Tampines GRC MP Cheng Li Hui.

Comparing this with how the WP handled Ms Khan’s lie, Mr Singh said: “Does the PAP selectively apply these standards expecting Singaporeans to give the PAP the full benefit of doubt when its MPs foul up, while screaming blue murder when the opposition seek to make the same point?” “So when someone stands up here and says, ‘We want to be sensitive,’ I think we need to look back at what each one did. The word ‘rape’, my recollection, was insisted upon by Mr Singh. So much for sensitivity,” said Mr Shanmugam.

Rather, it was about the PAP’s double standards in citing the need for sensitivity when it took time to handle the Speaker’s affair, while ignoring that the WP was also being sensitive in giving Ms Khan time to come clean about her lie in Parliament, said Mr Singh. In response, Mr Singh said that he felt the “rape” was an important point for the COP to consider, as that was why he did not push Ms Khan to clarify her lie in Parliament.
