MUMBAI (Reuters) - Nvidia's leather-jacket-clad CEO Jensen Huang got a rock star welcome at the company's AI summit in India on Thursday, with passes sold out and tech enthusiasts spending thousands of rupees to travel to the event.
SINGAPORE: The prosecution on Thursday wrapped up its case in the trial of Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh , with the defence’s bid to impeach the credit of key witness Raeesah Khan still undetermined.
Singh, who is Leader of the Opposition, is fighting two charges over allegedly lying to a parliamentary committee that he had, on Aug 8 and Oct 3, 2021, wanted Khan to clarify her untruth in Parliament. The first charge alleges that Singh lied to the Committee of Privileges when he said he wanted Khan to clarify her untruth in Parliament after a meeting on Aug 8, 2021, between himself, Khan and WP leaders Sylvia Lim and Faisal Manap.
The four witnesses called to the stand over the past two weeks are part of its bid to prove its claim beyond reasonable doubt. They are: Khan, former WP cadres Loh Pei Ying and Yudhishthra Nathan, and former WP chief Low Thia Khiang. On Oct 4, after being asked about her lie in Parliament and doubling down, Khan met Singh and Lim and offered to tell the truth. Singh told her “it’s too late for that”, she said.
She also spoke of meeting the WP’s disciplinary panel on Nov 25, 2021, and telling Singh he should have clarified Khan’s lie in Parliament in October. Singh had also told Khan that he had a feeling the untruth would come up in Parliament on Oct 4, but “that he would not judge her” whether she chose to come clean or maintain the lie, Nathan said.
Asked if Singh or Lim told him on Oct 11 that they had instructed Khan to clarify her untruth in Parliament, Low said no. The defence counsel also brought up that Khan had met Loh, Nathan, and another party volunteer on Dec 1, 2021. This was to discuss their evidence before Khan and Loh testified to the COP on Dec 2.
