WORKERS' Party (WP) Member of Parliament Raeesah Khan will have to appear before the Committee of Privileges, after she admitted to lying in Parliament about details of a sexual assault case that she alleged was mishandled by the police.

On Monday (Nov 1), she apologised to the Singapore Police Force and retracted an anecdote she had shared of the alleged incident. In explaining why she had made up details of that case, the 27-year-old said she had been a victim of sexual assault when she was 18.
