Singapore is the least corrupt country in Asia according to annual surveys conducted by the Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy Ltd(PERC) and the Berlin-based Transparency International (TI) in recent years. The purpose of this paper is twofold : to describe the major features of Singapore`s anti-corruption strategy : and to identify those lessons which are relevant for South Korea`s current efforts in combating corruption. This paper is divided into three sections. The first section describes Singapore`s anti-corruption strategy in terms of the reduction of both the opportunities and incentives for corruption. The second section analyses how various governments in South Korea have tackled the problem of corruption with the aim of explaining why corruption is still a serious problem in spite of such anti-corruption efforts in the past. The final section identifies those lessons from Singapore`s experience in combating corruption which are relevant for South Korea`s current attempts in fighting corruption.
