In 1982, an anti-corruption Act was implemented in Singapore, and 142 ministers and government officials were arrested in a single day. Today, only one per cent of Singapore’s population is poor, and the city-state has 92 per cent literacy, one per cent unemployment and better medical facilities than India.
