Singapore's graft rate stays low as fight continues despite Covid-19

INVESTIGATIONS of the individuals involved in Keppel Offshore & Marine's (Keppel O&M) corruption scandal, which saw bribes of more than US$50 million grease the hands of officials in Brazil over 13 years in exchange for business deals, are still ongoing.
"The case has not been concluded," said Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) director of investigations Vincent Lim. "We are still liaising with counterpart authorities overseas. The case is transnational in nature with different jurisdictions. It involves several parties that require us to go through formal channels to reach out to the foreign witnesses as well as in reviewing the evidence.
