I once worked with a Malaysian guy who had worked in the Singaporean broadcast company. They managed all radio equipment. He told me the story of one time the radio gear salesman gave the manager a box of chocolates at Christmas. The manager was so nervous about accepting a gift that he insisted that everyone on staff eat at least one of the chocolates.

That's because LKY himself is an incorrptible person. Here you can have an insight.

He controls a 313 billion dollar fund that includes the country's internet access, cell phones access, the state run broadcasting and the banks. What would corruption look like when you already control everything? Putting people in prison for criticizing you, because they do that.

Worth noting the CIA tried to bribe him and failed https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/document/cia-rdp75-0...

Ah, the Nassim Jade scandal might be more apt: https://jesscscott.wordpress.com/2014/02/20/nassim-jade-scan...

Anything specific about it? The PM's wife being CEO is obviously a bit suspect but it would be far more notable if the family was siphoning off money which there are unsaid said things about but never anything explicit which is... frustrating. So many untalked about things with regards to sg.

If Putin's wife ran the largest investment fund in Russia would you consider that only a bit suspect?

If she were siphoning off money she would not be doing it an obvious way and we likely wouldn't hear about it. They have a habit of bankrupting wannabe woodward and Bernsteins and taking large sums of money from foreign news organizations that say the "wrong" thing:

Singapore is definitely good at rooting out low level corruption though.

Corruption is always a spectrum right? My guess is that Singapore is at the lower end of the scale, although not at zero.
