No case and UN chief apologises to S'porean

Singaporean United Nations official Dileep Nair has been cleared of charges of corruption and inappropriate recruitment.

Mr Nair, 55, a former DBS Bank managing director who is now based in Dubai as Singapore's Consul General, had maintained his innocence throughout, pointing out that the campaign against him was revenge for the high-profile investigations conducted by his office with the UN.

That's a piece of good news for Singapore's integrity which has extremely rarely been an issue.
