TCH's explanation on corruption trend not very believable

[Confuseous]

I don't buy Teo Chee Hean's conclusions from the joint findings of the CAD and CPIB. What I want to know is the trend. Don't just tell me there is no change in the level of uncovered corruption over the past five years. Go far back enough to tell us how things have improved or gotten worse. A flat line on a graph for five years, what does it mean? Would there be fewer cases from the civil service in future? You know this thing is a cancer and you want to keep getting better at rooting it out.

Findings from CAD and CPIB has one big weakness - they do not know what they do not know and these do-not-knows exist. It is almost similar to an interviewer who years later, boasted he was instrumental in hiring an applicant who later made it big time in the company. There is no way for the interviewer to know what could have taken place to those he rejected. There could well be someone in the rejected list who would have succeeded much earlier compared to the one hired.

Quote from Donald Rumfield :
There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know.

If ppl who are supposed to be in a group of enforcers, who are out to catch others who are corrupt and are corrupt themselves.

You can bet even your life that there are ALOT MORE white scums who are already corrupted or in the process of being corrupt.

Not even making an exception that there are none in the kangaroo Court .

And if police chief KPI and bonus depends on maintaining or reducing crime rate, then he will be incentivized to ensure that only a predetermined number of crimes are reported.

Singapore has one of the lowest corruption rates in the world.

I am proud of my PAP government for achieving this despite the fact that the citizens find it hard to resist temptation.

All in the kangaroo court are fucking corrupt.
That go without saying

Only question is whether very disgustingly corrupt or merely disgustingly corrupt

But other countries had achieved the same without having to pay their ministers out-of-this-world salaries. Going by the astronomical wages these PAP bastards are paying themselves, corruption here should not be one of the lowest in the world but the lowest in the world. So the Old Fart reasoning is totally out of whack. It's pure greed and nothing else.

When the country is headed by Ministers who don't think twice about 'taking' half a box of toothpicks from restaurants, I am not surprised.
