Chan Chun Sing on checks and balances in the Public Service amid charges against S Iswaran
The case of former minister S Iswaran is before the courts and we should let the law take its course, said Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing. Replying to MPs’ questions in Parliament on Monday (Feb 5), he cautioned against jumping to conclusions or making statements that may prejudice the case or prematurely adjudge the processes that may have gone right or wrong. He pointed out that the case was picked up by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau and investigations were initiated without external pressure or interference. “In updating our rules, sharpening our implementation, and inculcating the right ethos and values (in) our officers, the Public Service and the Government will continue to draw lessons from this and other cases, whether local or overseas,” he said.
