Leaders must do what is right rather than what is popular and they must be incorruptible. When
Singapore leaders do this, it will ensure that the correct policies and decisions are made by government because they ensure Singapore's long term survival and prosperity. If they government is corrupt then the policies which they create will not benefit all Singaporeans but only the government official's family and friends or those who offer them favours. Thus citizens will not benefit from decisions made by government as the government will not be putting the interest of the nation and its people first. Instead they will be focusing on their own their own interest instead. Hence this why having an honest government what is right and not what is popular will help to ensure that Singapore succeeds.

    Firstly, we should remain skeptical about the government due to the simple fact that the government comprises of humans, and as we all know, no human is perfect. As Gandhi said, ''Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.'' With scientific research stating that the humans are born to be greedy, the innate greed in the government officials might be a dangerous trait. For the government, their greed would result in various forms of corruption such as bribery and extortion, negatively impacting the lives of the citizens. For example in sub-Saharan African nations, about half of the funds that were donated for health usages were never invested into the health sectors. Instead they were lavished to support the costly high-end lives of the government officials. This problem is not only limited to the developing countries. World wide, bribery alone is estimated to involve over 1 trillion US dollars annually. Due to the innate greed in human nature, it is evident that many times, the government will not do what is best for the people. Instead, they would think of themselves first, thus we should not place our complete trust in the government.…
