Singapore's Transport Minister S. Iswaran has been charged with 27 offences following a corruption investigation, marking a significant political scandal for the city-state. This event is notable as it is the first time a key minister has been implicated in a graft probe since 1986. The charges against Iswaran, which he has denied, include allegedly obtaining tickets to West End musicals, soccer matches in the UK, and Formula One races. In light of the charges, Iswaran has tendered his immediate resignation from his position, ending a government career that spanned more than a quarter of a century.
