SINGAPORE - The Workers' Party will conduct a review into the Facebook posts made by Sengkang candidate Raeesah Khan, but it does not want to prejudice ongoing police investigations, said WP chief Pritam Singh.

"I also understand that there is some views out there which want her to further explain. There will be a time for this. My preference is of course to do it now, but because there's an ongoing police investigation I cannot let those investigations be prejudiced by whatever comments I make or she makes. But certainly, I think there will be a review of this as I mentioned previously, and that will happen.

"This is a serious matter, which goes to the fundamental principles on which our country has been built," it said.
