Time Bar Saves Singapore WP’s Lim, Faisal from Parliamentary Action for Lying Under Oath The recent statement by Leader of the House Indranee Rajah has shed light on a contentious issue in Singapore's parliamentary politics.
The time bar provision in the Parliament (Privileges, Immunities and Powers) Act has saved two Workers' Party politicians, Sylvia Lim and Faisal Manap, from facing disciplinary action for lying under oath.
The development comes after former WP MP Raeesah Khan told a false anecdote in August 2021, sparking a heated debate about parliamentary immunity.
