Singapore the best bureacracy in Asia.

Abstract

The article titled "Singapore: The Best Bureaucracy in Asia" by M. Azizur Rahman published in The Daily Financial Express on September 14, 2013, highlights Singapore's exemplary civil service, recognized for its efficiency and minimal bureaucratic red tape. Drawing from a survey conducted by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC), the piece notes that Singapore's bureaucracy emerged as the least encumbered among 12 Asian economies. Factors contributing to this distinction include the high quality of civil servants, clear and transparent laws, and a meritocratic system that emphasizes accountability and performance. The article underscores how these elements collectively foster an environment conducive to economic growth, public trust, and effective governance, positioning Singapore as a model for bureaucratic excellence in the region.
