    PERC managing director Bob Broadfoot told Reuters that the controversy around huge investment losses by Singapore sovereign wealth fund Temasek was a good example of how things could become less transparent in in the island-state.

    The Singapore government has come under fire from lawmakers and its citizens over several investment losses, particular its exit from Bank of America which resulted in a loss of over $3 billion, according to Reuters calculation.

    The survey ranked Hong Kong second. China, which has been campaigning to fight corruption in its bureaucracy and improve efficiency on the civil service, was ranked 9th in the 2009 poll, two places down from 2007.

    Ranking by most efficient to least efficient economies: Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, China, Philippines, Indonesia and India.

    Do not cry over it!!!By: Shereen | 07-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward I do not agree to the idea that Indian breaucrats are completely corrupt and inefficient.The fact that a commoner can walk on the roads safely and get to eat three square meals a day to even the basic things like managing drinking water and electricity,which we cannot do without,Are all possible because of a bureaucrat.Ranking and studies are done with certain parametes and India might have failed on accounts of these.while blaming the system we also have to think about the pessure that the rising poulation raises in administration.India is only a developing nation and the other countries taken in comparison for the survey were far developed than India.With the limited resourses and challenges posed by the state,the fact that the administrative machinary is in place and functioning well is to be appreciated.

    SHAMEFUL CRITICISM FOR INDIA AND ITS HONEST PEOPLEBy: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | 05-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward It is really a shame for honest Indians and country for being branded as highly corrupt. But our politicians and officials who are bathing in corruption and prospering are not ashamed. They prosper in corruption and inefficiency.B S GANESH, BANGALORE
    Private vs public sectorBy: Rajan Mehra | 04-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward There is a culture of corruption in the public sector bureaucracy. This is the reason most people do not trust the government to do anything. Even when the government has good idea, the implementation is left to an inefficient and corrupt bureaucracy. This is a problem of democracy. If public enterprises and government cannot be trusted, how does one ensure democratic control? I'm afraid there is no easy answer, as long as corruption and inefficiency is as rampant in the system as it is today.
