SINGAPORE: Former Transport Minister S Iswaran returned to court on Monday (Mar 25) to receive eight fresh charges.
This was barely a week after the
61-year-old returned to Singapore from a
court-approved trip to Australia, which was
extended due to his illness.
The eight new charges are under Section 165 of the Penal Code and allege that Iswaran obtained valuable things including whisky bottles, golf clubs and a Brompton bicycle from a man called Lum Kok Seng.
This was when Iswaran's official function as then-Transport Minister was connected with the business Mr Lum had with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) through his company Lum Chang Building Contractors.
Iswaran pleaded not guilty as well to these new charges, which brings the total number of charges he faces to 35.
