Subramaniam Iswaran (born 14 June 1962) is a Singaporean former politician. He last served as the Minister for Transport from 2021 until 2024, when he was charged with corruption. A former member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), he was the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Pasir Panjang division of West Coast Group Representation Constituency (GRC) between 1997 and 2001, and the West Coast division of the same constituency between 2001 and 2024. In 2023, Iswaran was arrested by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) in connection with a case that was not publicly disclosed at the time, and was instructed to take a leave of absence by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. His transport portfolio was succeeded by Chee Hong Tat, initially in an acting position. In January 2024, Iswaran resigned as Minister for Transport as well as from his positions as an MP and member of the PAP, two days before pleading not guilty to 27 counts of corruption and obstruction of justice relating to his dealings with Malaysian billionaire Ong Beng Seng. In September 2024, Iswaran pleaded guilty to four counts under Section 165 of the Penal Code, relating to "obtaining gratification as a public servant" and one count of obstruction of justice under Section 204A(a). He voluntarily returned more than S$384,000 in bribes and was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. He completed his sentence in June 2025 and has since kept a low profile. Iswaran was the first Singaporean minister to be imprisoned since Wee Toon Boon in 1975.
