Singapore Transport Minister S. Iswaran appeared in court after a graft probe, the latest development in the biggest political scandal to hit the city state in close to four decades.
Iswaran, 61, arrived at the Singapore State Courts with a legal team on Thursday. 

He is the first key minister to get embroiled in a graft probe since 1986. He and property tycoon Ong Beng Seng were arrested and released on bail in July in a case that’s challenged Singapore’s reputation for clean governance at a time when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is seeking to step aside after almost two decades of leading the country. 

The anti-corruption agency, which reports directly to Lee, said earlier in January that it completed months of investigations into the case, but didn’t specify what wrongdoing was involved.
