The Workers’ Party (WP) will conduct a review into the Facebook posts made by Sengkang candidate Raeesah Khan, but it does not want to prejudice ongoing police investigations, said WP chief Pritam Singh.

Asked about a call from the PAP for the WP to make its stand clear on the candidate, Mr Singh said the party would explain further at the right time.

“So we’ve made a very extensive statement during our doorstop (on Sunday). And I don’t wish to add on to that.

“And I think the voters of Sengkang have heard her apology,” he said at a doorstop at Rivervale plaza on Tuesday afternoon.

“I also understand that there is some views out there which want her to further explain. There will be a time for this.

“My preference is of course to do it now, but because there’s an ongoing police investigation I cannot let those investigations be prejudiced by whatever comments I make or she makes.

“But certainly, I think there will be a review of this as I mentioned previously, and that will happen.”
