Singapore’s former transport minister has pleaded guilty to charges including obstruction of justice after the city-state’s prosecution amended the indictment against him, a surprising twist to the biggest political scandal in nearly four decades.  

S. Iswaran pleaded guilty after the amended charges were read out to him. The prosecution proceeded with four charges against him for obtaining valuable items as a public servant and one count of obstructing justice while 30 other charges were taken into consideration. 

The prosecutors are asking for a seven-month jail term.
