The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) began its investigations in July 2023 and sent Israwan a formal notice of charges on Jan 16. That same day, Iswaran submitted his letter of resignation from the Cabinet, Parliament and the People’s Action Party to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Former Transport Minister S Iswaran has rejected the 27 charges brought against him in court on Jan 18, reiterating his innocence in a statement released the same day.
“I reject the charges and allegations against me. I am innocent and will now focus on clearing my name,” reads the statement.
