He faces a total of 35 charges and his trial is due to begin next week.
SINGAPORE - With his trial due to begin in a week’s time, former transport minister S. Iswaran on Sept 3 failed in his third attemptThe Court of Appeal dismissed Iswaran’s latest bid after hearing arguments from his lawyer, Senior Counsel Davinder Singh, and without requiring the prosecution to respond.
On Sept 3, the 62-year-old sought a criminal reference – an application asking Singapore’s top court to answer a question of law of public interest. It is for the court to decide whether the question is of sufficient public interest to be worth answering. The defence contended that the prosecution is required to provide conditioned statements for every witness that it intends to call at the trial.
