The investigation by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) into Transport Minister S. Iswaran has concluded, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Tuesday.

In a written answer to Progress Singapore Party’s Hazel Poa, Chan, replying on behalf of the Prime Minister, said the case is currently being reviewed by the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).

Poa, a Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP), had asked for an update on CPIB’s investigation of Iswaran.

“I understand that there is much public interest in this matter,” Chan said. “I want to give my assurance that this case will be put through the due legal process.”

He noted that CPIB has completed a “robust and thorough investigation”, and the matter is now before AGC.

“It would therefore not be appropriate to comment on the matter at this juncture,” he said.
