Singapore, known for its low levels of corruption, is facing its most high-profile corruption trial involving former transport minister S Iswaran. This case is significant not only because it’s the first of its kind in decades but also for its potential impact on the ruling party and Singapore’s clean image. The trial, which began on September 24, involves multiple charges related to Iswaran accepting gifts from businessmen, potentially for influencing government decisions. This event has triggered a national conversation on corruption, political integrity, and the upcoming elections.
