The Minister also underlined that there have been no changes to the country’s zero-tolerance policy regarding corruption. She also said that the CPIB and AGC “are observing the basic rules for a fair and just criminal justice system” adding that “what can be inferred from this is that while Singapore has zero-tolerance on corruption, it also strongly adheres to the rule of law.”
