Leader of the Opposition chief Pritam Singh on Monday (Aug 26) asked for his case to be transferred to the High Court

Singh's lawyer argued that due to "public interest" in the case, the High Court is "better suited" to hear it

His lawyer Andre Darius Jumabhoy also referred to former transport minister S Iswaran's case and how it was transferred to the High Court

Deputy Attorney-General Ang Cheng Hock rejected Singh's application calling the comparison between his case and Iswaran's case as "entirely irrelevant"

The judge reserved her decision on the application until Sept 9
