Yi Huaren originally faced two corruption controls with heavy penalties.Under the prevention of corruption, the prosecution must prove the defendant to ask for bribes or bribery, and have interest conveying relationships with bribery.The prosecution believes that both key figures in the case may deny bribery in the transaction, so there is a certain "litigation risk" in the law and control.
Under Article 165 of the Criminal Code, the prosecution does not need to prove the items requested or accepted by the public officials, and have a considerable relationship with their business behavior;It is illegal.The General Procuratorate pointed out that modifying the control of the control can bring a fair and fair result that conforms to the public interest.

The government's attitude towards corruption and tolerance has strict regulations on receiving gifts or benefits to public officials.Chen Zhensheng, who is in charge of public services, pointed out in Congress that civil servants must not retain gifts of more than 50 yuan unless they pay the market value of gifts to the government.He revealed that in 2023, the number of gifts declared by civil servants and government officials reached 3,450, of which about 14%were valuable to 50 yuan or more.They were allowed to receive 60 % of the gifts.
Chen Zhensheng emphasized that politicians should also adhere to "similar spirit and principles", and there are specific rules in the code of behavior.He said that these provisions aims to ensure that the political system is consolidated and prevent officials from being "owed."

It is not only a public official who accepts benefits, but also a businessman who gives gifts for bribery.More importantly, public officials and even the entire society must adhere to the values of cleaning the political system and make it part of the Singaporean gene.
