1. Singapore is seen as a neutral country who does not take sides and be fair to all. This increases our diplomatic relations with more countries as we are trusted more.

2. We lost a lot of money in terms of the economy where that $20 mil could've been used to develop more infrastructure or provide funds for citizens. However, we are now seen as a trustable, safe and reputable country that can host others.

1. Singapore's role in the US-North Korea summit lended the country much credibility and bolstered its international reputation. As both the American and North Korean governments acknowledged Singapore as a suitable meeting ground for talks, this cemented Singapore's reputation as a neutral mediator in the Asia-Pacific region according to the PAP's plans. For if Singapore was a recognised neutral country, Singapore could maintain its foreign policy of armed neutrality to avoid being dragged into Great Power conflicts between the US and Chinese spheres.

2. Yes. The price of the international summit was nothing to maintaining Singapore's sovereignty in the face of rising tensions between East and West. For the PAP, this means maintaining their power and influence unrivalled over the country without being subjugated politically by either Beijing or Washington, and for the population, never having to find out if Singapore's armed forces are up to the task of preventing a repeat of 1942.

1. The SCP can covertly increase Singapore's foreign influence as foreign officials will be indirectly be influenced by Singapore's policy measures regarding national security, like anti-corruption measures. This will in turn influence certain foreign officials to be more partial to Singapore or adopt their governmental techniques, giving Singapore a tool to influence the actions and policies of other countries to suit our government's overseas goals. This programme will also increase Singapore's international reputation overtly as more and more countries are openly willing to open diplomatic ventures, giving the country more leeway in international dealings.

2. The Singaporean government from the increase in foreign influence and reputation internationally. Foreign governments from taking inspiration from Singapore's internal policies, and in turn the populations of these countries from the purported improvement in governance of their respective governments.

SINGAPORE - She hails from an island nation without significant natural resources that is aspiring to be a "first-world country". Barbadian Shelley Nicholls-Hunte was inspired by Singapore's development as she learnt about Singapore's anti-corruption strategies in recent days.

"To come and see your Civil Service College in action and to learn of the importance that Singapore has placed on the development of people is exciting because we are in that vein as well," said Mrs Nicholls-Hunte, director of the financial intelligence unit in the Attorney-General's Office of Barbados.

A participant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Singapore Cooperation Programme (SCP), she was one of 28 people from 27 countries here to learn about Singapore's anti-corruption strategies from the Civil Service College and Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB). She is also the 100,000th participant in the programme, which sees over 6,000 foreign officials from 170 countries attend about 300 courses and workshops yearly. The SCP began in 1992 as a way for Singapore to share its development experience with others.

Singapore does not attempt to teach countries what to do,
said Foreign Affairs and Law Minister
K Shanmugam at the award ceremony today (July 1). "We share our experiences and people take what is applicable and adapt ... In the end, the level to which it benefits their society depends on their own systems and structures."

Courses under the SCP include those on judiciary matters and public administration, and technical skills such as neonatal nursing.

The most popular courses are on public administration, and economic and sustainable development.

In response to changing needs, the SCP will also focus on technical and vocational training, and strengthening public-sector leadership,
said Mr Shanmugam.

Currently, Vietnam, China, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia send the most number of officials and just over half the participants are from the Association of South-east Asian Nations.

Singapore also conducts training with partners such as United States and United Nations agencies, in areas such as humanitarian assistance and cybercrime. It now reaches out to more distant regions like the South Pacific, Africa and the Caribbean,
said Mr Shanmugam.

The SCP helps Singapore build connections with participants, he said. "(They) go off and become ambassadors for Singapore. They take back good memories about Singapore (and) understand Singapore and know how we work."

Mr James Viernes from the Office of the Ombudsman in the Philippines investigates public officers suspected of corruption and said he was impressed by the CPIB's "fast, swift and sure conduct of investigations". He was interested in its power to detain a suspect or accused.

Mrs Nicholls-Hunte said her key takeaway was that absolute power corrupts. "Being able to manage that for our country is extremely important for our development," she said.
