MP SPEAKS | Corruption: What we can learn from the Singapore story Modified3 Feb 2021, 11:42 pm A - MP SPEAKS | Singapore's reputation as a country clean of corruption is renowned. The republic ranked third in the 2020 Corruption Perception Index. It remains the only Asian country placed in the top 10. Indeed, Singapore also has good standing in other global indicators, such as the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy's 2019 Report on Corruption in Asia, which ranked Singapore the least corrupt country in the region since 1995. Responding to Singapore's stellar achievements in its fight against corruption, the country's Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) retorted that it only means they have to work harder to ensure incorruptibility remains part of the DNA of every Singaporean.
