  1. Anyone who is in the public service must declare his assets.


    In parallel they should establish an independent tax police, which check if the actual assets match with the declared assets.


    Furthermore, they should set up an anonymous phone line / website, where unusual or unexplained increase in assets can be reported.


    Convicted corrupt officials must give back the stolen state assets plus imprisonment without parole.


    In my opinion, the only way to combat the corruption cesspool in public offices.


  2. As far as I know Western countries let Thai companies set up companies in their country would it not be fairer to let Western companies open here with full Western ownership. If you are a multi-million dollar company why would you want to have over 50% owned by foreigners in their own country. Thailand needs to start looking at the richest country in the world and fellow Asean member, Singapore, if Thailand wants to increase investment. I would never, never set up a company here with current rules.

    a Multi-million dollar company can own 100%. There are several ways for large companies to own 100% of their company. Me and my foreign partners own 100% of our company. We have BOI but started out with the Amity treaty for US citizens. If you dont know there are already very large companies with factories here in Thailand. Everyone from BASF, Nestle, Kraft, Toyota, Phelps Dodge, Goodyear etc etc. Thailand has a very large industrial sector with world wide companies. Also Thailand's GDP is about 100 Billion more than Singapore. So I dont think Thailand needs to learn anything from Singapore.

    You are right with the Amity treaty with a special regulation for US citizens. Also for the multi-million dollar companys like next VW.

    Good for you. But it is also about the small and medium investors from other countrys.

    And here the investment conditions are not good!

  3. no interference in justice system
    Yes what else she can hope for.

    Until to date corrupt officials and politicians in thailand have nothing to fear.
    The penalties, if it ever comes to a conviction, are a joke.
    Free on bail, appeal, counter-claim, sentence reduction, transfer to an inactive post and then case closed.
    Also they have no problem to send a condemn criminal on the run a new passport and 30 Billion Baht.
  4. Maybe they could designate the brand name and model.
    Would like to know what is so special about this 89 new microphones, beside the price of
    145,000 baht (4.500 US$) per piece.

    Matichon highlight the purchase and model number in blue.

    Guess it is the same model for about 1.700 US$

    + 90% import tax around 3500 US$

    Better if they have a public tender with three comparative offers.

    They could save money.

  5. I am still amazed what kind of view from responsibility some have here.
    To be the chairwoman of the NRC is the same as the captain's seat on a 747 Jumbo.
    The captain (YL) presents its flight path (the rice scheme).
    The weather experts say it is madness ever fly away, it will be impossible to achieve the goal.
    (There were countless warnings from subsidies experts that this rice scheme will never work.)
    The captain is insecure and has little experience.
    Then the CEO (Thaksin) of the flight company (PT) sends his co-pilots friends (PT-Ministers).

    Order: The flight must be conducted (they need the votes).
    The Fuel Tank officer (internal administrative officers) on the ground informed, that the fuel (money) will last for only half the distance.
    The chief mechanic (international subsidies experts) on the ground informed, that there is a hole in the fuel line (Corruption),
    and he expected that 30%-40% fuel (money) will leaking out.
    So the Jumbo starts.
    After the first quarter of the flight, the fuel gauges (BACC: no money) are already on reserve.
    The air traffic controllers (press, opposition in parliament) offer an emergency destination to bring down this madness flight.
    The captain ignored all warnings.
    The engines go out. Some passengers in their panic jump overboard (Farmers who killed themselves).
    The Jumbo crashes and the wreckage is widely scattered (rotten rice in the warehouses).
    The damage is incredible, lost the aircraft (700 Billions) and all passengers dead (rice industrie).
    The owners of the airline (the public) have to bear the loss.
    Miraculously, only the pilots survived.
    The pilots are now in court and refuse to testify.
    So what was it?
    - negligence?
    - malfeasance?
    - irresponsibly
    - supervision violation?
    If the defenders (lawyers) then say, the captain does not know how to fly an airplane,
    then I would suggest prison.

  6. Good luck.
    Maybe they could also set up a website as like in India.

    Only to create awareness.

    China has its corruption problem easily solved with beheadings.

    Until to date corrupt officials and politicians in thailand have nothing to fear.
    The penalties, if it ever comes to a conviction, are a joke.
    Free on bail, appeal, counter-claim, sentence reduction, transfer to an inactive post and then case closed.
    Don Quixote's fight against the windmills was much more easy.

  7. A major problem is that the NACC has little investigation power.
    They need to beg for every little piece of paper.
    Quite in contrast to some European tax investigation authorities,
    like Guardia di Finanza in Italy or the Steuerfahndung in germany.
    If there is sufficient suspicion and it is necessary, then they come with 200 or more specialists
    (accounting professionals, computer specialists, tax officers, interrogation psychologists) for a visit.
    All phones and computer lines of the suspects are blocked before.
    If someone does not cooperate, then they sent them immediately in Detention, so they can not warn other culprits.
    This kind of tax police brings the state more money than it costs.
    Guess in Thailand they would start in the Ministry of Finance.
    Full systematically, first the review of all money transfers over 100 Million Baht.
    Who signed the payment, which bank has received the money, for what and who are the account holders.
    Certainly they could identify a plot, a cluster or some persons with names.
    This is hard work but not rocket science.
  8. The Chinese firm paid Bt300 per sack of rice, rather than market price of Bt1,500-Bt1,555.
    Taking this into account, the men in question would make a profit of Bt20 billion.

    Mr Somkid Oensupa, Mr Ratthanit Sojirakul and Mr Lit Pojai to arrange for the rice to be taken out of the warehouses supposedly to be shipped out to the two buyers in China but, actually, the rice shipments were locally distributed and were never exported.

    One involved the Bt500-million cashier's cheque issued by Somkid Ruansupa, who lives in a two-storey house in Bang Khae.

    Further investigation showed that Nimon, Ruangwan and Somkid co-owned a Kasikornbank savings account No 001-0-03796-9. Bank records show money being transferred to this account in the morning and being withdrawn in the afternoon.

    What a heist
