Singapore s hard stance against corruption over the decades may have left younger generations ignorant of the consequences of bribing someone in exchange for a favour.
In a survey by Republic Polytechnic students earlier this year, only about a third, or 34.1 per cent, of around 1,000 respondents aged between 15 and 25 said they came across the topic of corruption in school.
And almost three-quarters of them, or 72.2 per cent, were not aware of the existence of the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).

Overview
1. Muis has completed its investigations arising from allegations made against its recognition process for FHCBs. The investigations have found that Muis’ processes are sound and the recognition and delisting of FHCBs have been carried out by its officers in a fair and impartial manner. As such, any accusations alleging abuse of power by its officer is unfounded. Muis is committed to maintaining the highest level of halal standards to meet the religious dietary needs of Singapore Muslim consumers and will conduct a comprehensive review of its FHCB recognition framework, with the revised framework to be implemented by the end of 2021. In the interest of accountability and transparency, Muis has also referred the matter to CPIB and will fully assist any investigations into this matter. As the investigations have revealed the possibility that official information has been publicly disclosed, Muis has also made a police report.
