If done properly paying decent salaries to offcials is the correct way to ease the need fort them to resort to corruption and bribes.

it is well known that Sinagpore officals are too well paid to risk a career break for some bribes.

Therory and practice however is another thing

Efficient management - greatest joke I have heard. The government seems to be haviing problems scheduling meetings, my partner seems to be always on call for emergency meetings or at the last minute. Last week we were suppose to spend some much needed valued time together for the weekend when she suddenly turns around and tells me that she is unable to as she has a meeting on Sunday in parliament. This is not the first time that she has been asked to attend meetings at the last minute, it appears that everything is done adhoc. With the new government she seems to be working later and is putting on weight due to late meals and lack of exercise. The civil service seems to have little understanding and respect for personal time. I hope that she will leave the service, no point working for slave drivers. I truly hate the new government as it is causimng much undue stress on the realtionship for some politician's agenda. We can't seem to plan our own personal time anymore.
