Comment: This is already covered in Pritam_Singh_(Singaporean_politician)#Prosecution_for_allegedly_falsely_testifying_to_Committee_of_Privileges, and I don't see why we need a separate article, especially one that doesn't particularly expand on the coverage? It's not like the content is so extensive that it needs to be split from the existing article. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:49, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
