The Spin

Narrative A

Ahead of national elections next year, Singapore has once again shown its rigorous commitment to fighting graft and keeping the system clean — even in the rare cases where a cabinet minister is the defendant. The city-state has a spotless image and reputation when it comes to corruption, and the government will continue to uphold that, whatever it takes.

Firstpost

Narrative B

As a sitting cabinet minister in Singapore has now been charged with more than two dozen criminal offenses in a high-profile corruption case, it's clear that the country is no longer a stranger to political scandals as the government lacks transparency and accountability. Rampant malpractices and hypocrisy have become the norm under the leadership of Lee Hsien Loong.
