Corrupt Practices

Singapore. Apr. 15.

Chinose secret societies are the greatest threat to free and honest cloctions in Singapore, a commission of inquiry into eprrupt, illegal or undesirable practices at elections, reported today.

The Commission recommended a series of sweep- ing changes in electoral procedure, including the introduction of compulsory voting.

It said the main problems in Singapore elections, were the apathy of the electorate towards the exercise of their franchise, undue influence exercised over voters by secret societies, and "aggressive groups of candidates' supporters, and the facility for bribery provided by cur- rent practice.
