Iswaran allowed to extend Australia trip as he was hospitalised

SINGAPORE - Former transport minister S. Iswaran, who is facing corruption charges, was hospitalised for respiratory illness in Melbourne and was subsequently discharged on the afternoon of March 5. The Straits Times understands that Iswaran, who was in Australia to help his son settle in at university, was warded at private hospital Cabrini Malvern. His trip, originally slated to be from Feb 16 to March 4, was extended to March 19 as he had fallen ill while abroad. The Attorney-General’s Chambers said on March 4 that the defence had filed an application that day to extend his trip and the State Courts had granted the application. Cabrini Malvern is run by Cabrini Health – a Catholic, not-for-profit private health service located in south-east Melbourne. Iswaran’s doctor Tim Cheung is a respiratory and sleep specialist whom ST has contacted for more information. ST visited Cabrini Malvern on March 5 and learnt the hospital is located about 5km from Monash University. Iswaran’s son started studying at the university in February, according to his LinkedIn page.
