Singapore’s ex-transport minister Iswaran faces trial in ‘high-stakes’ corruption case

“This is definitely high stakes for the PAP because he was a cabinet minister at the time. After all, they predicate on the fact that they are incorruptible,” said independent political observer Felix Tan, referring to the party’s long-standing commitment to zero tolerance on bribery.

Iswaran, who entered politics in 1997, has maintained his innocence since legal proceedings began in January. The 62-year-old faces a total of 35 charges: two for corruption, one for obstructing justice, and 32 for accepting valuables as a public servant.
