00:13Last week, Iswaran pleaded guilty to four counts of receiving gifts and one count of

00:27Hoong ordered Iswaran to begin serving his sentence on October 7 at 4 p.m.

00:33Bail was fixed at SGD 800,000, according to Channel News Asia.

00:39Iswaran was initially slapped with 35 charges after being accused of accepting more than

00:43SGD 403,000 in luxury gifts, including tickets to musicals and soccer matches in the UK.

00:53The 62-year-old, who resigned from his post in January, previously vowed to defend his
