New corruption cases in Singapore fell to 68 last year, marking the lowest number since records began in 2010. Additionally, 22 cases were recorded where public servants rejected bribes from the public. The CPIB noted that cases not resulting in convictions were due to them being withdrawn. Data released yesterday by the country's corruption investigation bureau shows 68 cases were investigated in 2025, compared to 75 cases in the previous year. New reports indicate that corruption cases in Singapore have decreased to a low. This trend reinforces the country's standing as a global leader in government integrity and anti-corruption standards. The data was presented during a news broadcast in Hanoi. The report was shared by CNA938 Singapore. The agency also noted 22 cases involving other specific categories.
