Singapore is a small country, but it is one of the cleanest countries in the world. Its success has benefited from the resolute crackdown on corruption and continuous anti-corruption education. The Singapore government firmly believes that corruption can only be eradicated through education and severe punishment by law.

Singapore's anti-corruption education is not limited to schools, but runs through life. From primary school, children are taught to be honest and trustworthy and not greedy for ill-gotten gains. When they are adults, there are a series of laws and regulations to restrict their behavior, whether at work or in life. Singapore's laws will severely punish those who violate the regulations without mercy.
