OBS is liable, too, for knowingly inducing the civil servant with valuable gifts, perks, and privileges. S. Iswaran, at that time, was an official government minister and was not functioning as a private individual, though he became a friend of OBS. Which businessman in any country would not want to become a friend of a government minister?

Given his pay as a Minister to be at least $1M per year (and that is only the basic, I am sure it's much more with the bonus, etc), that add up to his mere one month salary at most. Akin to asking if an average salary man in Singapore willing to forego his future for a mere $2,000 corrupted benefit? There is more to this than meets the eye...

@@vincecarlo Wealthy individuals typically engage in unethical acts less frequently than those in poverty due to financial security, which reduces desperation. Their access to resources, such as legal advice and social networks, allows them to address challenges without resorting to dishonest behavior. Additionally, they are more aware of the consequences of unethical actions, including reputational damage and legal repercussions, which act as deterrents. While not immune to unethical behavior, systemic factors contribute to lower occurrences among the wealthy compared to those in poorer circumstances.

This highlights that Singaporeans should not place ministers on a pedestal, as they are not infallible. Ministers may sometimes leverage their powerful positions for personal benefits, such as securing inexpensive housing. In cases of suspected wrongdoing, there has been no truly independent investigation. Instead, decisions rest with the Prime Minister, who may prioritize the interests of his party over impartial judgment.

Best is they can still enjoy a reduced salary. To maintain a state with zero tolerance for corruption, a double sentence should be imposed on Iswaran. Remember they have all taken oath to serve the public with integrity and yet still dare to enjoy additional perks under table.

In Singapore, 30 charges against an individual can be reduced to 5 through various legal mechanisms. Plea bargaining allows defendants to plead guilty to fewer charges in exchange for lighter sentences. Charges may also be consolidated if they stem from the same incident, while judicial discretion can lead to the dismissal of charges lacking sufficient evidence. Prosecutors regularly assess the strength of their cases and may drop unsupported charges. These processes help ensure a fair and efficient legal system while balancing justice and the rights of the accused.

This is a sad day, for all parties involved.. Singapore has lost a good minister. Iswaran, in my memory, is one of the more capable ministers in the cabinet. The amounts and items involved are so petty compared to his million dollar salary, that it seems ridiculous to me that he's being jailed. I guess imo, intention is absolutely important, and with the aforementioned, I do not think it was his intention. However, it is what it is. He accepted gifts, significant or not, and the NEW administration of Singapore, with the blessings of the previous, wants to put her authoritative stamp on their signature clean, zero tolerance for graft image. A lamb of god indeed.

I just don't know how to feel about this. Because I'd expect the gifts value to be in the region of millions, 400k is just plain silly to me given his salary, unless he's someone who nitpicks on cents for the groceries he buys. I mean, he clearly has the ability to pay for it himself, given he paid back 380K in the end in an instant. But rule is rule, right? Even if he gets the cheapest concert tickets, it is also termed as corruption in this manner. If receiving gifts is corruption, then the gift initiator should be held equally liable at the same time. Not after seeing how the first case goes.

There is a Chinese saying , 'What one is doing, Heaven is watching'. The accused will know ownself, whether it is greed or corruption that was in his mind. If you believe in Karma, consequences will come.

There are up and down in our life. Sometimes is not of our choice. To drown oneself into the miserable state would be of no better benefits earlier or now. Rather look forward and act during this time for thing more meaningful and fruitful which are not inspired by the darkness, which is non comparable to the light, which can give one, the comfort, endurance, strength and joy far beyond the control of negative thoughts and rejoiced, regenerated and relieved in the superiority of good thoughts that can be achieved if you follow the light.

Since the ministers are paid so much more ... when they screw up .. they should be penalised more as well!

If everything was really so corrupted, Singapore should remove F1 from singapore. Since they might have got it through unfair means.

"Charge sheets state that Iswaran received "valuable things" worth more than S$384,000 (US$285,000) from Ong between 2015 and 2022. These ranged from tickets to shows, football matches and various editions of the Singapore F1 Grand Prix." He is not getting a free bag of chips from OBS but "gifts" worth than $1,000 MULTIPLE times ! If this is not corruption then what is ?
