Iswaran’s case will also be transferred to the High Court, with the prosecution saying this was due to the strong public interest in this case. Chief Prosecutor Tan Kiat Pheng, who leads the prosecution team in this case, was not present in court. All 27 charges Iswaran faces were re-read to him on Feb 8, as required when a case is transferred to the High Court. A criminal case disclosure conference for the case will be held in the High Court on March 22. Iswaran resigned from the People’s Action Party in January and stepped down as transport minister and West Coast GRC MP.
