OBS was unscathed even during the Nassim Jade affair involving you-know-who

The rich really do play by different rules
the $$$ involved in Iswaran's case is peanut compared to Nassim Jade scandal, but some are untouchable. May be Iswaran can learn from some people and donate all the gifts to charity, then pinkie can step in to clear him.

He really offended someone i think else why like charging him more
In the first place I thought the Ong part is cos it was so obvious so someone must have told on him.

But this Lum part isn't so obvious
So how did the police know

*November 2021 to November 2022

In September 2022, Iswaran had allegedly corruptly obtained from Mr Ong gratification with a total value of about $145,434 as inducement for advancing his business interests in matters relating to a contract between Singapore GP and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).

The alleged gratification included 10 Green Room tickets, eight Twenty3 tickets and 32 general admission tickets to the 2022 Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix.

He allegedly obtained from Mr Ong gratification valued at $20,848.03 in December 2022 for advancing his business interests in matters relating to a contract between Singapore GP and the STB and a proposal for a contract with the STB.

The alleged bribes included an outbound flight on Mr Ong’s private plane from Singapore to Doha worth about US$7,700 (S$10,410.40), one night’s stay in Four Seasons Doha worth about $4,737.63, and a business class flight from Doha to Singapore worth about $5,700.

He had allegedly obtained, as a public servant, valuable things with a total value of about $218,058.95 from Mr Ong on 24 occasions between November 2015 and December 2021.

The items Iswaran was alleged to have received were worth nearly S$19,000 (US$14,110), the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said in a separate statement on Monday.

In the first place this guy been in civil service for so long

He should know gifts of certain amounts must be declared

Even if he doesn't which is very very weird cos surely such issues would have creeped up in his ministry one way or the other , he surely would have seen news of such a requirement in other countries

The gifts in the period November 2021 and November 2022.

LTA has not awarded any contracts to Lum Chang Building Contractors since 2019.
I don't think he can argue the law is applicable only when there's business

Which means he can't accept gifts where there's business dealings but can accept gifts by Truckload where there's no business dealings

Lum Chang Building Contractors has been involved in projects with the Singapore government. It has two ongoing ones with the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

The first is a tender awarded in 2016 for addition and alteration works to Tanah Merah Station and existing viaducts. This includes adding a platform - expected to be completed this year - and a concourse to the East-West Line station.

The contract was valued at S$325 million.

The other project was awarded in 2018 and involves the construction of a 1.95km section of the North-South Corridor (Tunnel) between Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 and Ang Mo Kio Ave 9.

According to a media release, the contract was worth S$799 million.

Firstly, the 2016 project is not fully completed yet... expected completion in 2024.
Secondly, the $19k gifts is what had been discovered and reported thus far with prosecutor pressing charges.

If more were found, he's screwed

I don't think many will know section 165

But certainly many would know NOT to accept gifts but if some Sheikh shove emerald scepter in his hands, definitely he should know he needs.to declare

Maybe Iswaran state of mind is that he feels that he deserves to be angkat bola curry favour by people because of his position as minister.



LHL said is shameful (sia suay) and wrong (3:00 min mark)
