Singapore ranked at the bottom of corruption survey, that’s good.

The Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (Perc) expects corruption to emerge as a hot-button issue in Asia this year as slowing growth, rising food prices and political campaigns feed a groundswell against graft.
But Singapore is unlikely to be tainted as expatriates surveyed by the Hong Kong-based group once again rank it the least corrupt economy in the region.
The annual survey also rated Hong Kong and Japan highly among 13 Asian economies.
The Philippines was deemed the most corrupt for the second consecutive year.
Thailand, China, Indonesia, India and Vietnam fared poorly too.
The 1,400 expatriates surveyed in January and February this year were asked to grade the extent that corruption detracts from the attractiveness of the business environment they work in.
Singapore scored with its ‘no-nonsense approach to corruption’, the report said. (story)
