SINGAPORE -- Singapore's high court on Thursday sentenced former Transport Minister S. Iswaran to a year in jail in a bribery case that has gripped a country known for clean government.
Holders of high office "set the tone for public servants in conducting themselves in accordance with high standards of integrity and must be expected to avoid any perception that they are susceptible to influence by pecuniary benefits," Judge Vincent Hoong said, reading the verdict.
