Reinventing Singapore?

Michael Backman

Chapter Chapter 11 in The Asian Insider, 2004, pp 77-90 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The problem with being at the peak of success is that every way you look, it’s all downhill. That is Singapore’s problem. It is a beacon for sound corporate governance in the region. Indeed, there is a view among some outside Asia that corruption is part of the Asian way; that Asians are somehow culturally predisposed to corruption. But there is an obvious flaw in the argument: Singapore. The Lion City is something of an embarrassment to the argument because it shows that it is possible to be both Asian and not corrupt.
