Singapore Assessment
Singapore Country BriefSingapore faces moderate corruption risk across its defence institutions. Formalised and generally efficient defence governance mechanisms are undermined by entrenched secrecy and a lack of external oversight heighten corruption risk, particularly with regards to procurement. Access to information is also poor and military operations are extremely vulnerable to corruption.
