    Accusations of high level corruption will see you bankrupted by libel lawsuits. It's entirely possible that the ruling elite have nothing to hide but they hardly act like it.

    I find it hard to believe that a country that was (or maybe is) a transportation hub for drugs and still is a money laundry for the SE Asia, can be free of corruption.

    Singapore doesn't have much "corruption", but we have: - the highest-paid politicians in the world [1]; - political offices with poorly-defined job scopes [2]; and - a track record of installing PAP (the dominant party) members in government-linked positions if they somehow fail to win an election [3].

      Not to mention installing unqualified military generals in irrelevant posts.
