SINGAPORE, Dec 6 (Bloomberg): Singapore’s largest opposition party is under pressure after a parliamentary committee issued a report showing its leadership was said to have allegedly allowed former lawmaker Raeesah Khan to maintain a lie that led to her resignation from parliament.

The party said on Sunday the report was released "without having taken the evidence of Workers’ Party leaders against whom serious allegations have been made.”
