SINGAPORE: Singapore’s former transport minister of Indian origin, S. Iswaran, who was jailed last October for 12 months on corruption charges, was placed in “home detention” on Friday, a news report said.
“Like all inmates placed on the Home Detention Scheme, S Iswaran will serve his remaining sentence at his residence under specified conditions, including curfew monitoring using an electronic monitoring tag, being gainfully occupied either in work, study or training and reporting to SPS for counselling,” Channel News Asia quoted Singapore Prison Service (SPS) as saying.
