Tania Chin quoted by CNA: “Why was Iswaran allowed to leave Singapore while his court case is ongoing”

Features Private: Tania Chin

Tania was quoted by Louisa Tang by Channel NewsAsia, in an explainer article on why Singapore’s former Transport Minister S Iswaran was allowed to leave Singapore despite his ongoing court case and how the courts decide whether an accused person should be allowed to travel overseas. The article included Tania’s comments that bail money was the main safeguard, given that the bailor could lose part of or the whole sum if the accused person absconds. The quantum of bail imposed typically depends on factors like an accused person’s alleged offences, and how likely it is that they would flee if the bail sum was too low. Apart from that, an accused person would typically also be required to provide their flight itinerary, contact details and address while overseas, for the authorities to reach the accused person where necessary.

The article, translated into Mandarin, was also syndicated by 8World on the same day.
