💨 Abstract

Singapore's former Transport Minister, S. Iswaran, has pleaded guilty to receiving gifts while in office, in a rare graft trial in Singapore. The case involves tickets to soccer matches and the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix. Iswaran, the first Singaporean minister to be tried on graft charges, was arrested last year for accepting kickbacks worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from property tycoon Ong Beng Seng.
