SINGAPORE: Transport Minister S Iswaran has been interdicted from duty with a reduced pay of S$8,500 a month until further notice, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in a ministerial statement on Wednesday (Aug 2).
Mr Lee was speaking in parliament on the corruption probe involving Mr Iswaran, as well as the resignations of two MPs - former Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin and Ms Cheng Li Hui - over their extramarital affair.

More than 10 MPs had filed questions on matters related to the probe by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).
Given that such incidents involving ministers are rare, Mr Lee said that there is no rule or precedent on how to effect an interdiction on a political office holder. And as such, he used the current civil service practice as a reference point.
"The specific details in Minister Iswaran’s case follow generally how the civil service would deal with a senior officer in a similar situation," said the Prime Minister.
"But this was my decision as Prime Minister, because the political contexts for a minister and a civil servant being investigated and interdicted are different."

According to the Public Service Division, as of 2023, the benchmark level of a minister's monthly salary stands at S$55,000, working out to an annual salary of S$1.1 million.
FACTS OF THE CASE
Briefly running through the facts of the case, Mr Lee said that while investigating a "separate matter", CPIB came across some information concerning Minister Iswaran that "merited investigation".
CPIB alerted Mr Lee on May 29, and pursued the lead further "on their own volition". Mr Lee was briefed on the findings by the director of CPIB on Jul 5.
"He told me that CPIB would need to interview Minister Iswaran to take the investigation further, and sought my concurrence to open a formal investigation," said Mr Lee, who gave his concurrence the next day.

He should not be entitled to a single cent! Taxpayers getting shafted as always.
Iswaran is innocent until proven guilty. Only oppies think that people are guilty before innocence proven.
When u are a suspect,u will be suspended from duty and your salary will also be suspended.Very simple and reasonable explanation and logic.Why Pinky must be so kind to Iswaran to pay him some salary during his suspension ?

Agree, once arrested should be suspended from all duties and salary also suspended .
If found innocent, pay shoud be reinstated with interest based on banks FD rate for that period, whether 3, 6, 9 12 monts ect2. Only my opinion, what is the civil service procedure mentioned ny LHL?
