Will Singapore Scandal Rock Political Status Quo?

Last week, former Singapore Transport Minister S. Iswaran was charged with 27 counts of corruption, the latest in a series of scandals that have rocked the island republic since 2023. We’ll speak to James Gomez, Regional Director at the Asia Centre to discuss the implications of the recent developments for Singapore’s political landscape in light of the leadership handover later this year.
