In his speech, the Prime Minister urged members of the house and the public to “refrain from conjecture” while investigations by the CPIB are still ongoing. Once done, the CPIB will submit its findings to the Attorney General’s chambers.
Transport Minister S Iswaran has been interdicted from duty with a reduced pay of $8,500 a month until further notice, says Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in an address to Parliament on Aug 2. He adds that the government had used the current civil service practice and dealt with the case in a similar manner to how the civil service would deal with a senior officer.
On July 11, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) released a statement saying that Iswaran was assisting in investigations that were related to a case uncovered by the bureau.
