Former Singapore Transport Minister S Iswaran Transferred to House Arrest

S Iswaran, convicted of corruption and obstruction of justice, will serve the remainder of his sentence under home detention with strict conditions.

S Iswaran, Singapore's former transport minister, began serving home detention on February 7, 2025, after completing one-third of his 12-month jail sentence.
He was convicted in 2024 for receiving over $300,000 in gifts and obstructing justice, making him the first former Singapore cabinet member to be jailed.
The home detention scheme includes curfew monitoring, electronic tagging, counselling, and conditions for work, study, or training.
Singapore's Prison Service stated that Iswaran was deemed low risk for reoffending and eligible for the scheme due to strong family support and good behavior in prison.
Iswaran resigned from office in January 2024 and has since repaid most of the illicit gains he received during his tenure.
