Bloomberg: Why Singapore Has the Cleanest Government Money Can Buy

ShareThis

We hereby repost an editorial piece from Bloomberg Singapore.

Yet let’s applaud Singapore for what it’s trying to achieve by paying top salaries to leaders and ministers: attracting the best and brightest to public service and reducing the temptation to engage in graft. Done properly, such initiatives can make government more efficient and economies more vibrant. Transparency International has ranked Singapore among the world’s top five least-corrupt governments since 2001, and according to Worldwide Governance Indicators, an index supported by the World Bank, it has also been among the best governed.

If you had gone out yesterday 21 Jan early evening, you might have missed this huge rainbow that appeared over the skies in Jurong just after the heavy downpour. The rainbow was at least visible in Yuhua, Jurong Lake and Taman Jurong areas.

A smoother way home for the elderly in Jurong?

ShareThis

Article in Today Paper published on 4 January 2012

SINGAPORE - Although housing estates islandwide are becoming increasingly barrier-free, some elderly or immobile residents are finding the biggest hindrance right at their doorstep: Some HDB flats built about 30 years ago are elevated, requiring occupants to take two steps up before entering their homes.

Jurong GRC Member of Parliament Desmond Lee has set his sights on smoothing these obstacles for his less mobile and elderly constituents.

PM Lee's New Year Message For 2012

ShareThis

.......Singa­pore’s international standing is high. Many foreign visitors commend the Singapore spirit and how well we work together. When I travel abroad, people often congratulate me on Singapore’s achievements and want to emulate what we have done. I recently met a young Singaporean participating in an APEC event in Honolulu. She was amazed at how respected Singapore was among her fellow international participants. Businesses know about and benefit from this Singapore premium, but Singa­poreans in general are less conscious of this important fact. It is a tremendous asset, based on our track record, reputation, and justified confidence in our people and our institutions.

We must never lose these strengths. I am confident that in a changing world, we will continue to bond as one people and walk shoulder to shoulder into a brighter tomorrow. Let us cherish our dreams, look forward with optimism and resolve, and work together to achieve the best we can for all our people, and for our Singapore.
