In August 2021, Ms Khan lied in parliament about accompanying a rape survivor to make a police report.
She came clean in November 2021, and was referred to the Committee of Privileges to investigate her conduct in parliament. Mr Singh testified before that committee in December 2021.
In March 2024, Mr Singh was given two charges for falsely testifying to the committee that he wanted Ms Khan to clarify her lie in parliament.
He contested his charges in a trial and was found guilty on both charges in February this year. He then appealed against his conviction.
The verdict on Thursday brought his case to a close. Mr Singh said this has been "a long journey".
"Throughout it all, I have done my best to act with sincerity and fulfil my responsibilities to parliament and to Singaporeans. My commitment in that regard remains unchanged.
"My focus now is to continue serving Singaporeans and to speak up for them alongside my Workers' Party colleagues. That important work must continue," he said.
He also thanked Singaporeans who had followed his case for their "generous reservoirs of goodwill, kindness and support".
"Your support reminds me of the importance of the work that we do, and how important it is that your trust is not taken for granted.
"I thank everyone for your support. I will continue to do my best in service of Singapore and Singaporeans," he said.
