Singapore&#039;s former transport minister has been sentenced to 12 months in jail in a graft case that has rocked the Asian financial hub. He was convicted of accepting gifts worth more than 300,000 US dollars from business people while in office.
                
Thursday&#039;s verdict came after Subramaniam Iswaran pleaded guilty last week to obtaining valuable items as a public servant and obstructing justice.
                
The gifts included a trip to Qatar on a private jet, free tickets to Singapore&#039;s Formula 1 Grand Prix, as well as premium whisky and a high-end bicycle.
The prosecution was seeking a prison term of six to seven months. The defense counsel asked for no more than eight weeks.
But the judge imposed a heavier sentence, pointing to Iswaran&#039;s high position in office and the harm made to public trust.
                
It is Singapore&#039;s first graft trial involving a politician in nearly five decades. The case has caused a stir in the city-state which prides itself on robust governance and efficient bureaucracy.
