Скачать или смотреть In Singapore, This Is a Risk You Don’t Take

I want to ask you something serious. How easy is it to bribe a government official in Singapore?

As someone who has traveled across different continents and experienced very different systems, this question has stayed on my mind for a long time. Recently, a viewer shared an experience at an international airport that forced me to reflect deeply on the contrast between strong systems and weak ones.

In this video, I explore that contrast.

I imagine what would happen if the same situation unfolded at Changi Airport. I share a real comment from a viewer about their experience at Kotoka International Airport. I also speak with Sabrina, who grew up in Singapore, and ask her a simple question: has she ever witnessed corruption in her country?

Her answer hit me harder than I expected. Singapore was ranked the world’s third least corrupt country in 2025, according to Transparency International. That doesn’t happen by accident. So what makes the difference? Is corruption cultural? Is it economic? Or is it something else entirely?

As a traveler from Ghana who deeply admires Singapore’s systems, this conversation is not about attacking countries. My number 1 goal is to understand what strong enforcement and accountability can achieve and what happens when corruption becomes normalized.

If you’ve lived in Singapore, traveled widely, or experienced different systems around the world, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

Let’s have a serious conversation.
