The CPIB was established in 1952 as an independent body responsible for the investigation and prevention of corruption in Singapore.
Corruption was more or less a way of life in the 1940s and early 1950s. Prior to 1952, all corruption cases were investigated by a small unit in the Singapore Police Force known as the Anti-Corruption Branch. Another problem was the lack of public support. Members of the public did not co-operate with the CPIB as they were skeptical of its effectiveness and were fearful of reprisals.
