The Committee of Privileges hearing on 2 December 2021 involved Mr. Lim Hang Ling, a witness in the investigation concerning Workers’ Party MP Raeesah Khan’s false statements made in Parliament. During the hearing, Mr. Lim, a Workers’ Party volunteer, provided details about interactions within the party and his awareness of the falsehood.
He testified that he attended a meeting with party leadership, including Pritam Singh, Sylvia Lim, and Faisal Manap, where Raeesah Khan’s falsehood was discussed. According to Mr. Lim, the leadership had instructed Raeesah Khan to continue with her narrative and not admit the truth immediately, leading to further misrepresentations in Parliament. His testimony contributed to the committee’s assessment of the party’s handling of the matter and the extent of party leaders’ involvement in perpetuating the falsehood.
