Singapore’s former transport minister Subramaniam Iswaran has been handed down a one-year jail sentence for accepting SGD 403,300 ($313,200) as a public servant as well as attempting to obstruct justice.
Despite having earlier denied any wrongdoing and vowing to clear his name, Iswaran entered a guilty plea to four counts of obtaining expensive objects and one charge of obstruction of justice on the first day of his trial in late September.
