Former Singapore Transport Minister S. Iswaran was placed on the Home Detention Scheme on February 7th, 2024. The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) stated that Iswaran was deemed suitable for the scheme due to his low risk of reoffending, good conduct during incarceration, and strong family support. He will serve the remaining eight months of his 12-month sentence under specified conditions, including electronic monitoring, work/study obligations, and regular counselling sessions.

Remission is usually issued when an inmate has completed two-thirds of his sentence. In Iswaran’s case, this would be eight months of his 12-month term.SPS said prisoners are assessed for their suitability for the Home Detention Scheme by taking into consideration various factors such as their conduct and their progress and response to rehabilitation, during incarceration.
These include curfew monitoring using an electronic monitoring tag, being occupied in work, study or training, and reporting to SPS for counselling. The charges he admitted to comprised four charges of obtaining valuable items as a public servant from Ong Beng Seng, 78, chairman of Formula One race promoter Singapore GP, and Mr David Lum Kok Seng, managing director of construction company Lum Chang Holdings.
