Public Prosecutor v. S Iswaran is a case brought by the Attorney-General of Singapore against Singaporean former politician Subramaniam Iswaran, who faces 35[a] charges of "obtaining gratification as a public servant",[2] corruption,[3] and obstructing justice.[4] The lawsuit was precipitated by an investigation of Iswaran's dealings with Malaysian billionaire Ong Beng Seng by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) that officially began on 11 July 2023 and ended sometime before 9 January 2024.
On 18 January 2024, Iswaran pleaded not guilty to the charges and announced his resignation from the government. He was the first minister to be charged and tried in court since Wee Toon Boon in 1975.
