Definitely Cheng Li Hui.
The comparisons are misplaced and unfair. In the other cases cited, the individuals concerned made admissions of wrongdoing, thereby establishing the relevant factual occurrences. An admission operates as confirmation of fact. In contrast, in Pritam’s case, no such factual occurrence was ever established or independently confirmed.

The prosecution’s case rested entirely on an alleged oral statement attributed to a witness who herself admitted to having lied to Parliament on the same subject matter. The alleged statement—namely that Pritam told her to “take it to the grave”—was not contained in any contemporaneous record, such as a WhatsApp message, but was said to have been made orally. The trial judge elected to accept the testimony of a witness who had acknowledged prior falsehoods on the very issue in question, and that acceptance formed the basis of the conviction.

At its highest, the finding that Pritam lied was a credibility determination made by the trial judge; it was not a fact established through scientific evidence or through an admission by Pritam himself.

Politics is a dirty game, and the ruling party doesn't believe in playing fair.

That said, I fully support the Prime Minister’s decision to remove Pritam from the office of Leader of the Opposition. The Workers’ Party is now left with a stark choice. It can either remove Pritam as Secretary-General and put forward a new leader to assume the role of Leader of the Opposition, or it can accept that it no longer has a credible claimant to the post and forgo it altogether.
