Law Minister Edwin Tong on Saturday (Nov 8) criticised Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh for saying “the court of public opinion can be a bigger court than any court ...in the world”, calling the remark “outrageous, plainly wrong and completely unacceptable”.

Mr Tong said Mr Singh’s comment, made in a recent CNA’s The Assembly interview, sought to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the court that convicted him of lying to a parliamentary committee.

“Let’s be clear what happened in this case,” said Mr Tong. “Mr Singh was investigated and then he was charged. He went through a full and open trial and was convicted by the court for lying to a parliamentary Select Committee.

“No one should dismiss or denigrate the court’s judgment, or suggest that public opinion can trump a court’s decision,” added Mr Tong.
