Corruption Scandal Tarnishes Squeaky Clean Singapore.

Singapore is not generally a place that is prone to corruption scandals. However, last week Transport Minister Subramaniam Iswaran was arrested on corruption charges along with a billionaire hotelier Ong Beng Seng. While it is unclear what exact type of misconduct allegedly occurred, it is possibly bribery in some form. According to The Guardian, Seng brought F1 Racing to Singapore. An article in Yahoo stated that Ministers in Singapore are among the highest paid in the world as a way to discourage corruption. It is unclear how this will resolve itself. However, the Singaporean government is taking it very seriously.
