"Singapore’s envoy to Britain has refuted a “serious charge” made in an article in The Economist that the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) cannot be independent because it reports to the prime minister.
The British magazine, in its issue published on Thursday, ran an article titled A Slew Of Scandals Puts Singapore’s Government On The Back Foot.
The article touched on the ongoing CPIB probe into Transport Minister S. Iswaran, and argued that the anti-graft agency could not be fully independent, as it reported to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong."
