Singaporean MPs Lim and Faisal escape parliamentary action due to time bar

Singaporean politicians Sylvia Lim and Faisal Manap will not face further parliamentary action for lying under oath. Leader of the House Indranee Rajah stated that the case falls outside the legal time bar stipulated by the Parliament (Privileges, Immunities and Powers) Act. This decision was made despite findings from the Committee of Privileges and a High Court judgment confirming that Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh had also lied to the committee. Rajah emphasized the necessity of adhering to the time bar provisions. AI
