SINGAPORE – Former transport minister S. Iswaran was placed on the Home Detention Scheme on Feb 7.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, a spokesman for the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) said Iswaran was assessed to be suitable for the scheme, as he is of low risk of reoffending, did not commit any institutional offence in prison, and has strong family support.
SPS said eligible prisoners are considered for the scheme when they have served at least 14 days or half of their sentence after remission, whichever comes later.
Comment: Mr Iswaran has served his time for his errors. May he and his family recover from the ordeal!
