Singapore’s former Transport Minister S. Iswaran has received court approval to leave the country temporarily after being charged with corruption last month, according to local media reports.

Iswaran had applied for permission to leave Singapore to help his son settle into a university in Australia, the Straits Times reported, with the request approved on several conditions including a cash bail of S$500,000 ($371,802). He will also be required to surrender his travel documents within a day of returning to the country, the report said.
