Singapore opposition leader Pritam Singh has been charged with two counts under the Parliament Act in connection with a lying scandal involving a former member of parliament. This development threatens to tarnish Singapore's reputation as a haven for the wealthy, characterized by its low taxes, safety, and stability. Additionally, Singapore is currently grappling with a $2.2 billion money laundering case that has led to the seizure of cash, cars, and mansions, further challenging the nation's carefully crafted image.
