SG Talk

CONCLUSION

The standards required of public institutions and officials are not excessive. All the public asks is that they act with integrity, competence and common sense. If politicians and civil servants find themselves unable to meet this standard, then they should step aside and let more capable individuals take their place.

But let us say a minister chooses to interpret the code differently and decides to resolve the conflict of interest by abandoning his duty and recusing himself. Does that satisfy the requirements of the ministerial code? 

No, for while he has avoided an actual conflict of interest, he has not avoided an apparent or perceived conflict of interest. Avoiding a perceived conflict of interest is not an impossibly high bar, as some have suggested. All he needs to do is take the crucial step of making his recusal public. The reason for this is simple. If the public is not made aware of a recusal, then as far as public perception is concerned, it might as well have not occurred.

Quote:. Now consider a property agent who not only accepts a depressed price but then proceeds to fix up the house at his own expense afterwards, and we are approaching the level of incompetence demonstrated by SLA.
