<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"-->SINGAPORE has moved up a notch to become the world's third least corrupt nation, after New Zealand and Denmark, according to the annual ranking released by graft watchdog Transparency International (TI) on Tuesday.
Singapore was ranked the fourth least corrupt last year. This year it shares the third spot with Sweden, which tied in first place with New Zealand and Denmark in 2008. The other country in the top five spots is Switzerland.
TI attributed the strong performance of the five to the 'political stability, long-established conflict of interest regulations and solid, functioning public institutions' in these nations. The ranking measures perceived levels of public sector corruption in 180 countries and draws on surveys of businesses and experts.
The United States placed 19th in the 2009 survey. That was down from last year's 18th place. Somalia remains the world's most corrupt country, followed by Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan and Iraq.
The bottom five nations show that 'countries which are perceived as the most corrupt are also those plagued by long-standing conflicts, which have torn apart their governance infrastructure,' TI said.
New Zealand scored 9.4 points, Denmark 9.3 and Singapore 9.2, which is the same as last year.

Look at how much we have to pay our Govt in salary vs how much the swedes pay for theirs? Yet both get the same results....

It's like a runner trained normally in order to get 3rd. Ours got to take steroids, take vitamins supplement, take abalone, take sharkfin, take lingzhi etc in addition to training, then can get 3rd....

Sibeh Siah Suay...

Please. L.K.Y. has said that they're mediocre governments. Their success is due to location all the way up north in Scandinavian Europe or out of the way down under below Australiasia. Singapore is in the middle of the action.

The majority of the positions in govt and civil service in NZ and Sweden are filled by Ang Mohs. Caucasians generally take pride in their honesty and integrity. Money is not the be all and end all of life.

Singapore is run by ethnic Chinese who are pretty much genetically programmed to rank $$$$ before all else. They'd sell their grandmothers if they could. The only way to stop corruption in Singapore is to pander to the natural greed of those in positions of power.. hence the high salaries.

"he other country in the top five spots is Switzerland."

this is the country that has been doing money laundering for the past 60 yrs, including Nazi $$$. their clients include dictators, murders, drug dealers, ill gotten $$.

and now, in order to continue their money laundering business, they made a deal with the yanks to extradite Roman Polanski. What a shame

They don't need Leegalized corruption because there is very few Chinese in the political arena.

Chinese are always the teacher for corruption practise. The practise is established since early days of Chin Empire and Chinese has been perfecting it for more than 5000 years.

Perhaps that's why L.K.Y. says they have mediocre governments. Money also don't want or don't know how to want. So mediocre.
