Singapore's former Transport Minister, S. Iswaran, has been hit with eight new corruption charges, marking a significant development in what is considered the city-state's most high-profile corruption scandal in nearly four decades. The charges, announced by Singapore's anti-graft body, relate to allegations that Iswaran obtained several bottles of alcohol from an executive related to Lum Chang Building Contractors Pte in connection with a contract for construction works at the Tanah Merah train station. Iswaran, who has maintained his innocence, is set to face these charges in the High Court on April 2. This case is notable for involving a member of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP), highlighting the rare nature of corruption cases within Singapore's political landscape.
