They are ranked 7th best in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index which is just about the most objective measure of relative country corruption out there so you can't really objectively say that they are just as corrupt as everybody else.

- jpatokal 12y agoUh, I actually said is "there is virtually zero low-level corruption", which is entirely in line with that. I'm just taking exception to the rather glib claim that high salaries eliminate corruption at higher levels, because quite clearly they do not, even in Singapore. But this is not the kind of thing that affects perceptions in day-to-day life, while the Malaysian cop asking for an on-the-spot fine or the Indonesian immigration dude finding a "mistake" in your visa does.
