The Dual Mandate: Judicial Accountability, Political Legitimacy, and the “Court of Public Opinion” in Singaporean Politics

Keywords Political Legitimacy, Judicial Accountability, Public Opinion, Singapore Politics, Opposition Parties, Pritam Singh, Political Survival

Abstract

This paper analyzes the assertion made by Singapore’s Leader of the Opposition, Pritam Singh, that the “court of public opinion can be a bigger court than any court in the world.” Using Singh’s handling of the 2021 Raeesah Khan scandal and his subsequent legal conviction appeal as a primary case study, this research explores the complex interplay between formal judicial accountability and perceived political legitimacy in the context of Singapore’s dominant-party system. Drawing upon theories of political communication and democratic legitimacy, the paper argues that for opposition figures, the judgment meted out by the electorate—the ultimate ‘court of public opinion’—often supersedes formal legal findings in determining long-term political survival and institutional credibility. The case demonstrates a strategic rhetorical pivot, where legal charges are reframed as political persecution, allowing the politician to seek moral vindication through electoral performance rather than purely judicial acquittal.

1. Introduction

The relationship between law, legitimacy, and political survival is a central concern in modern political science, particularly in hybrid or dominant-party regimes where the distinction between state institutions and political interests can blur. When political leaders face legal sanction, their response often reveals a fundamental negotiation of authority: Do they prioritize compliance with the judicial process, or do they appeal directly to the public for moral and political exoneration?

Pritam Singh, the leader of Singapore’s foremost opposition party, the Workers’ Party (WP), encapsulated this tension when he stated, “the court of public opinion can be a bigger court than any court in the world” (ST, 2025). This declaration was made while Singh fielded questions regarding his February conviction for lying under oath to a parliamentary committee concerning the management of former WP MP Raeesah Khan’s false parliamentary anecdote. Despite the ongoing appeal of this conviction, Singh explicitly tied the WP’s “respectably” perceived performance in the recent general election (GE) to the public’s favorable judgment of his integrity.

This paper uses Singh’s statement and the context of his legal challenges as a framework to analyze three critical dynamics:

The theoretical distinctiveness and political function of the ‘court of public opinion’ (CPO) versus the ‘court of law’ (COL).
The strategic deployment of the CPO as a defense mechanism against perceived political targeting by the dominant party.
The mechanism by which electoral outcomes are conceptualized and utilized as definitive measures of political legitimacy and moral credibility, superseding formal judicial processes.

By focusing on institutional accountability in a context marked by political asymmetry, this analysis contributes to the understanding of opposition survival tactics in non-Western democracies.

2. Theoretical Framework: The Duality of Judgment
   2.1 Formal Accountability vs. Political Legitimacy

Accountability, in political theory, traditionally operates through two primary channels (Schedler, 1999): vertical accountability (elections and public oversight) and horizontal accountability (institutional and judicial checks). The court of law (COL) epitomizes horizontal accountability, focusing on legal facts, statutory compliance, and objective justice. Its jurisdiction is precise, bounded by evidence and procedure.

Conversely, the court of public opinion (CPO) is a manifestation of vertical accountability. It is a diffuse, non-institutional sphere where judgment is rendered based on trust, character, consistency, and perceived morality, rather than strict legal criteria (Lippmann, 1922). For politicians, especially those in the opposition, the CPO is the ultimate arbiter of political legitimacy—the public’s belief that the office holder has the right to exercise power (Weber, 1978).

2.2 The Politics of Conscience

Singh’s defense—that he did not “lose much sleep over” being called a liar because he was “in the business of politics,” and his reliance on a “clear conscience”—highlights a strategic shift from a legal defense to a moral defense. When facing legal action initiated or heavily scrutinized by political rivals, the politician must decouple the legal fact of the charge from the political interpretation of its intent (Mendelsohn & Rahn, 2005).

By invoking “conscience,” Singh transforms the legal conviction (a finding of fact) into a political trial (a judgment of character). If the public believes the legal action is politically motivated, the formal verdict loses its capacity to destroy political legitimacy. The CPO judges not whether a lie occurred, but whether the politician, despite any legal infraction, remains morally fit to serve as a check on executive power.

3. The Raeesah Khan Case: A Test of Political Warfare

The scandal involving former WP MP Raeesah Khan’s false testimony in Parliament in 2021 and the subsequent Committee of Privileges (COP) investigation placed the WP leadership under intense scrutiny. Singh’s eventual conviction for lying under oath elevated the matter from a misconduct issue to a critical test of the opposition’s integrity.

3.1 Reframing Legal Proceedings as Political Attacks

Singh explicitly framed the legal process as a political maneuver designed to undermine the opposition: “My political opponents will do whatever it takes to lower my esteem and the esteem of my party in the public eye.” This rhetoric serves a dual purpose: it inoculates the politician against the legal outcome and redirects the focus of the CPO.

In politically charged legal cases, the CPO often functions as an arbiter of narrative credibility. If the dominant party uses state machinery (judicial or parliamentary committees) to prosecute an opposition leader, the public must decide whether this action is justified accountability or disproportionate political suppression. Singh’s assertion leverages the public’s inherent skepticism towards a powerful government targeting its primary critics (Cheong, 2018).

3.2 Distinguishing Public Management from Legal Compliance

Singh’s comments on the internal handling of the Leon Perera and Nicole Seah affair (an internal moral and integrity issue) further highlight the demanding nature of the CPO. While legal courts deal with statutes, the political court judges the ability to manage complex public and private ethics. Singh acknowledged that handling such internal matters requires “learning, adapting, and moving forward,” recognizing that the CPO punishes perceived ineptitude or lack of transparency as severely as it punishes legal infractions. This demonstrates that political survival requires navigating both legal liability and moral liability simultaneously, with the latter often holding greater weight for the electorate.

4. The Electoral Verdict as Public Judgment

Singh’s ultimate evidence for his political vindication rests on the WP’s performance in the general election: “I don’t think we would have done how we did in the last elections. We did pretty respectably.” This statement establishes the electoral result as the definitive verdict of the CPO.

4.1 Retrospective Authorization

The electoral process, in this context, serves as a mechanism of retrospective authorization (O’Donnell, 1999). By voting for the WP post-scandal, the electorate effectively dismissed the political toxicity generated by the legal charges. The public performs a cost-benefit analysis: the benefits provided by a functioning opposition (checks and balances, alternative voices) outweigh the severity of the legal infraction, particularly if that infraction is deemed politically engineered.

In Singapore’s unique political system, where the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) has historically maintained a supermajority, the opposition’s primary function is systemic rather than purely legislative. The CPO, therefore, judges the opposition based on its utility as a credible alternative voice, rather than demanding flawless legal compliance, especially when the legal charges stem from parliamentary conduct.

4.2 The Metric of Political Esteem

The CPO’s judgment is fundamentally tied to “esteem.” While legal conviction formally lowered Singh’s judicial standing, the respectable electoral outcome provided demonstrable proof that his political esteem—the public trust required to carry out opposition duties—had not been significantly eroded. The political verdict thus neutralized the judicial verdict’s intended outcome of rendering the figure politically non-viable.

5. Conclusion

Pritam Singh’s reliance on the “court of public opinion” as an authority “bigger than any court in the world” represents a critical strategy of political survival in a hyper-competitive, state-dominated political environment. This strategy involves deliberately contrasting the precision of legal accountability (facts, statutes) with the broader, more forgiving nature of political legitimacy (trust, character, utility).

The analysis of the Raeesah Khan case demonstrates that the CPO functions not merely as a repository of sentiment, but as a proactive mechanism for political judgment. It judges the motives behind legal actions, provides moral vindication through electoral performance, and ultimately dictates whether a political leader retains the necessary public trust to continue serving. For opposition figures such as Singh, who operate under constant scrutiny and the threat of legal sanctions, appealing directly to the public conscience is not a rhetorical flourish, but a necessary condition for maintaining political relevance against the powerful horizontal checks deployed by the state. The ultimate survival of the Workers’ Party, despite the legal complications faced by its leader, underscores the fundamental democratic premise that in politics, the sustained belief of the people remains the most powerful and consequential form of adjudication.

Pritam Singh Leadership Analysis: Navigating Controversy in Singapore Politics

Executive Summary

This analysis examines Workers’ Party (WP) Secretary-General Pritam Singh’s leadership approach following multiple controversies, including his conviction for lying under oath, the Raeesah Khan parliamentary falsehood case, and the Leon Perera-Nicole Seah affair. Despite these challenges, the WP achieved strong electoral results in May 2025, suggesting Singh’s crisis management strategy and public positioning have maintained voter confidence.

Background Context

The Raeesah Khan Case

In August 2021, WP Member of Parliament Raeesah Khan made false statements in Parliament about accompanying a sexual assault victim to a police station. Khan later admitted the anecdote was untrue. Pritam Singh, as party leader, faced scrutiny over his handling of the situation and was subsequently charged with lying to Parliament’s Committee of Privileges about what he told Khan.

The Leon Perera-Nicole Seah Affair

In July 2023, a video emerged showing intimate moments between Leon Perera (then MP for Aljunied GRC) and Nicole Seah (then president of WP’s youth wing). Both had denied the relationship when questioned by Singh in late 2020/early 2021. Following the video’s release, both resigned from the party, with Perera also vacating his parliamentary seat.

The AHTC Case

A 13-year civil litigation saga involving alleged improper payments and breaches of fiduciary duties by WP town councillors concluded in July 2024 with a settlement after mediation.

Key Strategic Positioning

1. “Court of Public Opinion” Doctrine

Singh’s central argument rests on the primacy of electoral validation over legal or institutional judgments. His statement that “the court of public opinion can be a bigger court than any court in the world” represents a calculated political strategy:

Strengths:

• Frames electoral success as vindication, shifting narrative from legal defeat to democratic mandate
• Appeals directly to voters’ sense of agency and judgment
• Separates political accountability from judicial accountability
• Positions the party as responsive to citizens rather than establishment institutions

Risks:

• May be perceived as dismissive of Singapore’s legal system and rule of law
• Could set precedent for diminishing judicial authority in political discourse
• Potentially undermines respect for parliamentary institutions
• May alienate voters who value institutional integrity

2. Conscience-Based Leadership

Singh repeatedly invokes his clear conscience as the foundation of his resilience: “You answer to your conscience first, and if your conscience is clear, then people can throw whatever they want at you.”

Analysis: This positions Singh as:

• Internally directed rather than externally validated
• Morally confident despite legal setbacks
• Principled rather than expedient
• Authentic in his self-assessment

However, this approach carries significant weight only if public perception aligns with his self-assessment. The electoral results suggest this alignment exists among a substantial portion of voters.

3. Pragmatic Minimization

On the Perera-Seah affair, Singh employs a minimization strategy, characterizing it as “quite a private matter” while acknowledging that in politics “there are very few private matters.”

Strategic Elements:

• Acknowledges human complexity and imperfection
• Separates private conduct from political competence
• Reduces the affair to a personal rather than institutional failure
• Shows empathy while maintaining boundaries

This approach attempts to protect party reputation while acknowledging individual failings.

Case Study Analysis: The 2025 General Election as Referendum

Electoral Performance Metrics

The May 2025 General Election results provide crucial data for evaluating Singh’s leadership through crisis:

Aljunied GRC:

• WP secured 59.71% of votes
• Five-member team led by Singh retained the constituency
• Represented continued trust despite ongoing legal proceedings

Overall WP Performance:

• Consolidated hold over Sengkang GRC and Hougang SMC
• Gained two Non-Constituency MP seats
• Maintained and slightly expanded presence in Parliament

Voter Psychology Analysis

The electoral results suggest several possible voter mindsets:

1. Separation of Legal and Political Accountability Voters may distinguish between judicial findings and political competence, viewing Singh’s legal troubles as technical violations rather than disqualifying moral failures.

2. Anti-Establishment Sentiment Some voters may interpret Singh’s legal challenges as political persecution by the ruling party, generating sympathy votes and opposition solidarity.

3. Lesser-Evil Calculation Voters may accept WP’s flaws as preferable to one-party dominance, prioritizing systemic checks and balances over individual perfection.

4. Pragmatic Forgiveness Recognition that all political organizations face scandals, with voters focusing on overall governance competence rather than individual controversies.

5. Identity Politics For opposition supporters, voting WP represents ideological commitment that transcends individual leaders’ personal challenges.

Comparative Context

Singh’s ability to maintain electoral support despite controversy contrasts with outcomes in other democracies where similar situations often result in:

• Party leadership changes
• Significant vote share losses
• Parliamentary seat losses
• Party fragmentation

The WP’s resilience suggests either:

• Unique characteristics of Singapore’s political culture
• Effective crisis communication by Singh and the party
• Limited viable alternatives for opposition-minded voters
• Strong institutional loyalty among the WP base

Leadership Style Assessment

Strengths

1. Resilience Under Pressure Singh demonstrates psychological fortitude, maintaining public composure and messaging discipline despite sustained attacks.

2. Message Consistency His core themes—public validation, conscience-based leadership, and learning from mistakes—remain consistent across different forums and controversies.

3. Electoral Credibility The election results provide empirical validation of his leadership approach, at least among opposition voters.

4. Authenticity Singh’s direct acknowledgment of challenges without over-apologizing or deflecting appears genuine to many voters.

5. Long-term Perspective His “learn from it, do your best, move on” philosophy suggests focus on future rather than dwelling on past errors.

Weaknesses

1. Institutional Relationships Singh’s emphasis on public opinion over institutional judgments may strain relationships with Parliament, judiciary, and civil service.

2. Incomplete Accountability While acknowledging challenges, Singh rarely provides detailed explanations of what he would do differently, potentially limiting organizational learning.

3. Risk of Precedent His approach may encourage future leaders to dismiss institutional accountability in favor of popular support.

4. Party Culture Questions Multiple integrity issues (Khan, Perera-Seah) raise questions about WP’s internal culture, vetting processes, and oversight mechanisms that Singh has not fully addressed.

5. Limited Self-Criticism Singh’s confidence in his clear conscience may blind him to legitimate criticisms or areas for improvement.

Organizational Implications for Workers’ Party

Internal Governance Challenges

The controversies reveal potential weaknesses in WP’s internal systems:

Vetting and Recruitment:

• How did candidates with integrity issues reach prominent positions?
• What background checks and psychological assessments are conducted?
• Are there mentor systems to guide new politicians?

Communication Protocols:

• How is information shared between party leadership and MPs?
• What mechanisms exist for reporting problems early?
• How are private matters distinguished from public concerns?

Ethical Framework:

• Does the party have a written code of conduct?
• What are the consequences for various types of misconduct?
• How is ethical behavior reinforced through training and culture?

Crisis Management:

• Is there a crisis communication team and protocol?
• How quickly does leadership respond to emerging issues?
• What decision-making framework guides crisis responses?

Cultural Considerations

Singh’s statement “there is no manual” for handling these situations reveals an organization learning through experience rather than systematic preparation. This approach:

Advantages:

• Flexible and adaptive to unique circumstances
• Avoids rigid bureaucracy
• Allows for human judgment and nuance

Disadvantages:

• Reactive rather than proactive
• Inconsistent handling of similar situations
• Limited institutional memory and best practices
• Higher risk of mistakes and poor decisions

Broader Political Context

Singapore’s Opposition Dynamics

The WP’s continued success despite controversies reflects several realities of Singapore’s political landscape:

1. Limited Competition With few viable opposition parties, voters concerned about one-party rule have limited alternatives to the WP.

2. Protest Vote Phenomenon Some WP votes represent dissatisfaction with the PAP rather than endorsement of WP, making the party less vulnerable to its own scandals.

3. Generational Shift Younger voters may be more forgiving of personal controversies while prioritizing systemic political pluralism.

4. Media Ecosystem Alternative media and social platforms allow the WP to communicate directly with supporters, bypassing traditional gatekeepers.

5. Parliamentary Role Even critics acknowledge the WP’s constructive participation in Parliament, providing value through scrutiny and alternative perspectives.

Implications for Political Norms

Singh’s approach challenges traditional assumptions about political consequences:

Traditional Model: Legal conviction + party scandals = electoral punishment = leadership change

Singh’s Model: Legal challenges + transparent acknowledgment + electoral validation = continued leadership legitimacy

This shift has implications for:

• Future politicians’ accountability standards
• Media’s role in political accountability
• Voters’ expectations of political leaders
• Relationship between judicial and democratic legitimacy

Risk Assessment

Short-term Risks (1-2 years)

1. Appeal Outcome If Singh’s appeal against his conviction fails or results in harsher penalties, it could:

• Trigger by-election in Aljunied GRC
• Force leadership transition
• Damage party credibility
• Energize PAP criticism

2. Additional Scandals Further integrity issues within the party would undermine Singh’s “learn and move on” message and suggest systemic problems.

3. Narrative Fatigue Continued focus on past controversies may exhaust voters and diminish the party’s ability to set agenda on policy issues.

4. Succession Planning Singh’s dominant role means any unexpected departure could create leadership vacuum and party instability.

Medium-term Risks (3-5 years)

1. Institutional Legitimacy Continued friction between Singh’s “court of public opinion” stance and institutional authority could:

• Limit WP’s effectiveness in Parliament
• Reduce cross-party cooperation opportunities
• Hinder appointment to key committees or roles
• Diminish influence on policy outcomes

2. Voter Evolution As controversies recede in memory, voters may refocus on policy performance and governance competence, areas where opposition parties face inherent disadvantages due to limited governmental experience.

3. PAP Adaptation The ruling party may adopt strategies to counter WP’s resilience:

• Policy concessions to address opposition concerns
• Candidate recruitment to compete for swing voters
• Narrative reframing to question WP competence

4. Internal Party Tensions Younger members or alternate leaders may question Singh’s approach or push for different strategies, creating factional pressures.

Long-term Risks (5+ years)

1. Historical Assessment As time passes, historians and analysts will evaluate Singh’s tenure, potentially reframing current controversies in ways that affect party legacy.

2. Precedent Effects Singh’s survival of controversies may lower accountability standards across Singapore’s political system, with unintended consequences for governance quality.

3. Generational Transition Eventually, leadership must pass to a new generation. Whether Singh’s approach can be replicated by successors remains uncertain.

Outlook and Scenarios

Scenario 1: Continued Consolidation (Probability: 40%)

Assumptions:

• Appeal successful or results in minimal additional penalties

Conclusion

Pritam Singh’s navigation of multiple controversies while maintaining electoral support represents a significant case study in political resilience and crisis management. His “court of public opinion” doctrine challenges traditional assumptions about political accountability and demonstrates the complex relationship between legal judgments, institutional authority, and democratic legitimacy.

The WP’s May 2025 electoral performance provides empirical validation of Singh’s approach, at least in the short term. However, significant questions remain about long-term sustainability, institutional implications, and whether this model can be replicated by successors or in different contexts.

Singh’s leadership style combines resilience, message discipline, and pragmatic adaptation with risks of institutional friction, incomplete accountability, and potential normalization of controversial behavior. The party’s ability to institutionalize lessons learned, develop robust internal governance, and transition beyond crisis management will determine whether current success represents temporary survival or sustainable opposition politics.

For Singapore’s political development, the Singh case raises fundamental questions about accountability standards, the balance between judicial and democratic authority, and the conditions necessary for healthy opposition politics. How these questions are resolved will shape the nation’s democratic evolution for years to come.

The outlook remains uncertain, with scenarios ranging from continued consolidation to significant crisis, but the most likely path involves gradual normalization of past controversies combined with ongoing attention to WP’s governance capacity and institutional relationships. Singh’s ability to maintain voter confidence despite institutional challenges demonstrates the enduring importance of direct democratic accountability, even in a system with strong institutional authority.”

Ultimately, the Workers’ Party under Pritam Singh’s leadership serves as a reminder that political legitimacy in democracies derives from multiple sources—legal authority, institutional recognition, and popular mandate—and that tensions between these sources create both opportunities and risks for leaders, parties, and democratic systems.
