SINGAPORE: High Court judge Vincent Hoong Seng Lei on Thursday (Oct 3) handed former transport minister S Iswaran a sentence higher than the terms both the prosecution and defence had argued for.

The 12-month jail term that Justice Hoong passed was five months more than what the prosecution sought, and significantly more than the defence's proposed term of eight weeks.
