Iswaran's 'crime' may be very minor. He may even be cleared of any charges in the end. But he could simply be a scapegoat they want to use to make a statement about their so-called incorruptibility. To say that, "See, we dare to investigate and take down a minister. Don't say we never do anything hor" Why Iswaran though? The reasons could be many, some of which cannot possibly say in public. But my own guess is that he's probably seen as the weakest and most ineffectual minister in the current cabinet (he hasn't came up with any major or significant policies thus far), and therefore the most dispensable. It may sound a bit far-fetched, but hey, politics is dirty. Again, this is just my own theory. It may or may not be true.
