Iswaran, who resigned in January, pleaded guilty to five charges related to accepting gifts worth thousands during his time as a public servant.
The 62-year-old admitted to four charges related to breaching the Penal Code's Section 165 and one charge of obstruction of justice.
This case marks a significant moment in Singapore's political landscape, being the first corruption trial for a senior political figure in nearly 40 years.
Despite initially facing 35 charges for corruption, Iswaran will be sentenced based on the five he pled guilty to, after returning a significant amount to the state.
