💨 Abstract

Singapore's former Transport Minister S. Iswaran has pleaded guilty to receiving gifts while in office, marking a rare graft trial in the city-state. Iswaran, the first Singaporean minister to be tried in court, is accused of accepting kickbacks from property tycoon Ong Beng Seng. He has been charged with obstructing justice and accepting gifts, but not with corruption.
