Iswaran denies the accusations and is determined to clear his name. The case has garnered significant attention in Singapore, a country known for its lack of corruption. The future of the F1 race and its contract until 2028 has also been a topic of interest, but the government has assured that the race deal was carefully considered in the best interests of Singapore. The Singapore GP has brought significant benefits to the country, attracting international visitors and generating billions in tourism revenue, as well as benefiting local companies involved in various aspects of the race.
