The Agenda: Is Joo Chiat the new 'IT' spot?

Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh has been struck off the rolls of Singapore lawyers after the Court of Three Judges ruled that his conviction for lying to a parliamentary committee warranted his removal from the profession.

Singh was convicted in February 2025 on two counts of lying under oath to the Committee of Privileges, in connection with former WP MP Raeesah Khan’s false account in Parliament in 2021.

But what does being struck off actually mean for Singh and could the ruling have wider implications for his future as WP chief and an MP?

We break down the legal and political implications with Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law at SMU’s Yong Pung How School of Law.

Sentosa Cove was once synonymous with Singapore’s luxury property market. But today, its high-end homes are proving harder to sell at a profit.

New data shows that nearly two-thirds of resale transactions between May 2023 and June 2026 ended in losses, while gains among profitable deals have fallen sharply. Landed homes have held up better than condominiums, but they too are facing pricing pressures. With fewer buyers, higher costs for foreign purchasers and ageing leasehold properties adding to the challenges, is Sentosa Cove losing its appeal?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Alan Cheong, Executive Director of Research and Consultancy, Savills to find out more.
