Former Transport Minister S. Iswaran, who faced 27 charges in January to which he pleaded not guilty, has been allowed to leave Singapore to assist his son in settling into a university in Australia. The prosecution stipulated several conditions, including a cash bail of S$500,000 and the requirement to provide his itinerary and address in Australia.
