(Bloomberg) — Former Singapore transport minister S. Iswaran will serve the remainder of his 12-month jail sentence in home detention, the nation’s prison service said.

“He has been assessed suitable for emplacement on the scheme, as he is of low risk of re-offending, did not commit any institutional offence in prison, and has strong family support,” Singapore Prison Service said in a statement.
