Singapore doesn't have much "corruption", but we have:

- political offices with poorly-defined job scopes [2]; and

- a track record of installing PAP (the dominant party) members in government-linked positions if they somehow fail to win an election [3].

Not to mention installing unqualified military generals in irrelevant posts.
