She broke down at one level when she revealed that Singh had secretly disclosed details of her physical assault to her own parents without their consent.
She described how, beginning in 2020, she became involved with WP and became acquainted with Singh through her voluntary work.
She claimed that Singh approached her in 2020 to ask her for a seat on the WP, and that she admired him as a “really knew all” and “would have all the responses.”
Her fake tale about the murder victim was added in a few days before in her crucial speech to parliament on August 3, 2021.
She sent Singh a review of her conversation, and he circled a part of the story, writing” justify” before returning it to her, but did not speak to her about it.
No understanding” the seriousness of what he wrote”, Ms Khan did not make any adjustments. She delivered the conversation on Aug 3, 2021, and it set off a series of satellites, debate and corrections.
Ms. Khan described how “terrified” she felt that her stay would be exposed, in part because she would have to reveal her own sexual assault story, which she had kept secret from her father and a counselor.
She continued to tell the truth, only to be contacted by Singh over a telephone call on August 7, 2021, when he questioned her point-blank about it.
Ms. Khan said her idea was that they were going to take it to the tomb after Singh coaxed her into the conference on August 8, 2021 with Ms. Lim and Mr. Faisal Manap.
This was done because Ms. Lim said the matter was unlikely to arise again, and Singh said” this would definitely be something that we would have to get to the grave.”
On Oct 3, 2021, a moment before another political relaxing, Singh visited Ms Khan’s home with his wife.
According to Ms. Khan, Singh said,” I do n’t think the issue will arise, but if it does, he’s not going to judge me for continuing the narrative.”
Ms. Khan thought that if she continued to lie, Singh would not be judgmental.
She claimed that she was willing to lie once more on October 4, 2021 because she was afraid of what might happen if she told the truth and because it appeared that Pritam may approve of me continuing to stay.
Law Minister K Shanmugam requested more information from Ms Khan regarding the story and asked her for more information regarding when it occurred, which officers place it was at, and which police officers were involved when parliament sat on October 4, 2021.
This was done to investigate the problem.
In text messages shown to the jury, Ms Khan texted Singh while in the legislature halls, asking:” What if I would, Pritam”.
She testified that she was “really terrified” and did not know what to do.
Singh did not reply quickly. When called on by then-speaker Tan Chuan-Jin to reply to Mr Shanmugam, Ms Khan maintained her rest and said she did not wish to discuss further information, citing security.
After the legislature session, Singh later asked Ms. Khan to keep Ms. Lim and him posted and said they would talk afterward.
Ms. Khan after contacted her about standing orders and what the COP’s rules might be because she meant Ms. Lim was outlining what might happen if the issue was raised.
Ms Khan afterwards sent emails to a group chat she had with then-WP functionaries Mr Loh and Mr Nathan, saying:” I’m trying not to worry, but I’m really scared”.
The party agreed to remove some messages from the talk because they worried someone might be reading them. Ms. Khan claimed that she believed she lied in the deleted emails.
The authorities had therefore sent Ms. Khan a draft statement to respond to Mr. Shanmugam, in which she wrote that she was disappointed that she had been pressured to violate” all forms of confidentiality and consent” and that she had instead focused on grilling her.
Yet, Ms Loh told her this “would be a terrible thing to say” and Ms Khan did not ultimately make this statement in congress.
Ms. Khan claimed that she asked if she should come fresh in a conference with Singh and Ms. Lim on October 4, 2021, toward the conclusion of that day’s legislative session.
” I , did state, if I tell the truth? And Pritam’s answer was,’ It’s too late for that ‘”, she testified.
Ms. Khan was also questioned about why she did not explain to MP that Singh and another WP leaders had been aware of her lying when she admitted it to parliament on November 1, 2021.
” I wanted to protect them. I wanted to take full responsibility for what happened and I did n’t want to blame anyone else for the error I made,” she said.
