SINGAPORE: Former transport minister S Iswaran was placed in a single-man cell in prison to protect him from those who might want to harm him due to his previous positions as minister, legal experts told CNA. 

Iswaran, 62, began serving his sentence on Monday (Oct 7) after announcing that he will not appeal his 12-month jail term, handed down by the High Court last Thursday. 

In response to CNA's queries, the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) had said that Iswaran had been housed in a single-man cell due to "higher safety and security risk" if he were to be housed with other inmates. The authority did not elaborate on what these risks might be. 

Lawyers not linked to the case told CNA that Iswaran would be at higher risk of harm due to his status as a former politician and minister.

"There may be inmates who may be motivated to cause him harm or fear of harm because they are not happy with him, be it for what he stood for when he held office or for the fact that they feel outraged that a person of his position committed such offences," Mr Sanjiv Vaswani, managing director of Vaswani Law Chambers. 

Concurring, veteran lawyer Ramesh Tiwary, who has an eponymous law firm, said that the authorities would not want to house Iswaran with inmates who might harass him.

Reasons just like GST is to help the poor....

Prison Is moment for him to repent.

He can read a lot of books.

He can do post-grad studies.

Actually they can put him to teach the prison school. Since he's highly educated. Put his time to good use while still inside.
