The fight against corruption, the fight against corruption, and the building of a clean and honest government are ancient problems that run through ancient and modern times. In ancient China, despite the great efforts of the rulers to fight corruption, it had little effect. The conduct of the Supervisory Body and the Ombudsman is commonplace, and even those who specialize in supervising corruption are not immune. This doomed the anti-corruption of ancient dynasties to be difficult to achieve substantive results.
After entering the modern society, the construction of a clean government has become more important, and the ways to fight corruption have become more diverse. In the era of highly developed information networks, there is nowhere to hide from corruption. Even in modern society, no one is immune to corruption, and anti-corruption is a difficult problem that must be faced. Learning from the experience of advanced countries in the fight against corruption can make our anti-corruption road better.
Singapore is one of the countries that has made great achievements in the fight against corruption and the building of a clean government. Half a century ago, Singapore was notorious for corruption, but today it is ranked high in international corruption rankings and is known worldwide for its integrity building. This huge change became a miracle for Singapore.
On the fight against corruption and building a clean government, former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew made it clear that "fighting corruption is not difficult. When you have a lot of wealth beyond your salary, you are. If you can't explain it clearly, you will be held accountable. "From Lee Kuan Yew's statement, it can be seen that Singapore has a very strict definition of corruption.
Singapore's approach to integrity building is very practical. For a long time, Singapore has practiced meritocracy and implemented the concept of "**". The salary level of civil servants in Singapore is very high across the globe. Civil servants are paid such a high level of remuneration so that they can solve their own livelihood problems without worrying about their livelihood. If you have been paid what you deserve, you should not get what you don't deserve. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe.
A Singaporean public official may be considered abnormal if he or she has an income that is not regulated. If it cannot be explained clearly, it will be recognized as ** and will eventually be held accountable by law. The fight against corruption is not as simple as drinking and eating, and it is necessary to set up a typical case to warn public officials. Singapore's anti-corruption case has been a great success and will have far-reaching and lasting implications for the future. An example of this is Singapore's former Minister of National Development, Teh Chang Yuen, who contributed to Singapore's development, but when faced with the most advanced charges, Lee Kuan Yew insisted on the investigation, which eventually led to Cheng Changyuan's suicide, which became a living example of anti-corruption.
Since then, Singapore's civil servants have hardly dared to step beyond the thunder pool. This disciplined system has made Singapore one of the cleanest countries in the world.
