Amidst a backdrop of ongoing investigations by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) into alleged irregularities involving Minister S. Iswaran, the Singaporean government has confirmed that the Formula 1 Grand Prix event scheduled for later this month will proceed as planned.
Minister Iswaran, who serves as Singapore’s Minister for Transport and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, is currently under the scrutiny of the CPIB regarding allegations of misconduct related to his official duties. While the investigation unfolds, there were concerns about the potential impact on Singapore’s prestigious Formula 1 race, a hallmark event on the global motorsport calendar.

The spokesperson stated, “The Singapore Grand Prix is a globally acclaimed sporting event and a source of national pride. We want to assure the international racing community, fans, and stakeholders that the event will proceed as planned, and all necessary arrangements are in place to ensure its success.”
The Formula 1 Grand Prix in Singapore is renowned for its unique nighttime street circuit, which winds through the heart of the city, offering a stunning visual spectacle and a challenging track for drivers. Over the years, it has become a favorite among Formula 1 fans and drivers alike.
The government’s decision to proceed with the event despite the ongoing investigation reflects its determination to uphold the reputation of Singapore as a host for major international sporting events and its commitment to transparency and accountability.
Formula 1 enthusiasts, both locally and from around the world, eagerly anticipate the race, which will feature top-tier teams and drivers competing for victory on the city’s iconic streets.
