SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Former transport minister S. Iswaran has completed his sentence and is no longer under prison custody.
The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) said on June 6 that Iswaran has completed his emplacement on the Home Detention Scheme and is no longer under SPS custody.
On Oct 3, 2024, Iswaran was handed a 12-month jail term in a case that saw, for the first time, a former Cabinet minister being sentenced.
He had spent four months in jail since he began his sentence on Oct 7, 2024.
He was placed on the Home Detention Scheme on Feb 7, 2025.
SPS had previously said that Iswaran was assessed to be suitable for the scheme as he is of low risk of reoffending, did not commit any institutional offence in prison and has strong family support. - The Straits Times/ANN
