The above are official CPIB site's material.
The context however must be different in Parliamentary Election Act, because the direction is exactly opposite. In normal corruption officer of govt are bribed by peasants to abuse power. In Electoral Corruptions officer of govt bribed voters to keep powerful office positions.
There is a double standard very clearly exhibited by LEEgime which is totally wrong and Corrupt, because their law exposed themselves. Where?
In normal corruption the law stated max punishment S$100K fine or 7 years imprisonment or both. That is when peasant bribed officer.
In electoral corruption the laws stated max punishment S$5K fine or 3 years imprisonment or both. That is when culprit / officer bribe voters to get vote.
What is so obvious? The figures of fines showed!
S$100K vs S$5K =
20X
That is peasants are punished 20X more severely than officers. Or in other words LEEgime's laws allows 20X more corrupted officers than peasants.
20X is an agreeable figure to me. But the direction reversed.
They should penalize corrupted officers 20X more severely than cheating peasants.
