Singh, 47, was on March 19 charged with two counts of lying to a parliamentary committee that was convened in November 2021 to look into the lying controversy involving his party's former MP Raeesah Khan.
The committee had called Singh as a witness, and later said he had not been truthful in his testimony while under oath.
Singh's trial is set to start on Oct 14 and will take place over 16 days till Nov 13. The trial will be presided by Deputy Principal District Judge Luke Tan.
The Straits Times has contacted Singh's lawyers, Mr Andre Jumabhoy and Mr Aristotle Emmanuel Eng Zhen Yang, for more information.
An Attorney-General's Chambers spokesman said earlier that if Singh is convicted, it will be asking the court to impose a fine for each of his charges, based on the "evidence presently available and considering the totality of the circumstances".
