Former Workers’ Party chief Low Thia Khiang revealed in court that it was in August 2023 when he found out WP’s leaders had known about Ms Raeesah Khan ’s untruth since Aug 8, 2021.
She repeated the claim before the House on Oct 4 the same year, before admitting to her lie on Nov 1, 2021. Asked what he said to Ms Lim in return, Mr Low remembered conveying it is “not the point whether or not the Government can find out” and his opinion that Ms Khan should apologise if she had told a lie.He said he did not notice Singh’s demeanour during this conversation.
Mr Low was also asked if Singh and Ms Lim had told him about Singh going to Ms Khan’s house on Oct 3, 2021, to get her to clarify the untruth in Parliament the next day.As for his impression of when Singh and Ms Lim knew about Ms Khan’s lie based on their interactions on Oct 11, 2021, Mr Low said: “I don’t have any impression when they found out. They broke the news to me, so this is a problem and I participate in the discussion.
The court later heard that Mr Low was not aware that Singh, Ms Lim and Mr Faisal had known about Ms Khan’s untruth since August 2021 when he messaged Singh after her apology in Parliament to suggest convening a disciplinary panel within WP to look into the matter.
