July 27, 20196 yr Do the MPs have to declare all pecuniary interests in a parliamentary register which needs to be updated each time they acquire any assets? Would it have been a reasonable idea for all those in both houses to have show and declare all assets prior to taking their places in parliament, also declaring how they acquired assets? They talk about prosecuting government officials, what about those in business who do the "corrupting"?

July 27, 20196 yr 17 years and I have been hearing the same nonsense from so many. Excuse me about my skepticism. With sensationalist statements like this you can't help that people are laughing at bit. You need a complete mindset change in society here and that is as likely at the TAT admitting they are failing.

July 27, 20196 yr Get them all to publicly solemnly pledge to the King that they will never engage in corruption. When they are accused of breaking their promises, hit them with 112.
July 27, 20196 yr Somkid's dead pan poker face is enough to scare anyone. How can you tell he is lying ? Multiple stroke survivors have more facial expressions than this guy. If you want your money to go missing, talk to these junta trough minders.

Apparently, in this country ................. you can! The Thai people aren't (completely) stupid. They are not being fooled, even the average man in the street is aware that corruption goes right through all levels of government and indeed daily industry. However, they regard it as a normal part of life in Thailand. As long as they are happy with their place in the system (they learn this as children in school) they are not likely to rail against what they consider the norm. Ministers pretending that they are going to change this corruption is just part of the game. Corruption here is in your face for us foreigners. We forget that no country is immune. In Australia politicians are in bed with big business, and not just because they are good friends. They push legislation and agendas designed to feather the nests of their "mates" even If it is destroying the planet's ecology. . They know there is a highly paid consultancy awaiting them when they retire from the game. Also, Local Government there is rife with backhanders for approving building projects. Seemingly lowly paid mayor and councilor jobs are highly sought after and regarded as a path to riches. In the US the system involving lobbyists rarely pretends to hide the bribery and corruption. I prefer the Thai system because it's more transparent and cheaper.

Not quite true, he did crack down on corruption somewhat when it would look good, though he abetted corruption in his own camp. That's a perk for coup leaders.
July 27, 20196 yr Ha ha ha x 1,000,000 yeah yeah yeah and have they also pledged not to eat sleep or drink whilst they are in government? This would be more believable.
July 27, 20196 yr I've been hearing this same line for over 35 years! It's just a standard statement that means absolutely nothing.
July 27, 20196 yr Right now its the Thai economy which is suffering. Strong thai baht Cost of living gone up All other foreigners that are running low on money and finding hard to support there thai families and work due tk lack of customers arw gettint deported
July 27, 20196 yr Enforcing rules that already exist are pushing people away and kicking people out. At least taksin knows that tourism and foreign investment is gold for him and the thai people. Sometimes need a businessman to run a country and a solider to run security
July 27, 20196 yr Just don't understand why prayut ran for PM considering the army can police the polticans anyway
July 27, 20196 yr Oh, the irony, after weeks jostling and horse-trading for the most lucrative ministerial portfolios! Amazing Thailand, hub of amazing Thainess.

Not quite true, he did crack down on corruption somewhat when it would look good, though he abetted corruption in his own camp. That's a perk for coup leaders. The few Prayut government "crackdowns" that I recall were forced by publicity created from low-level government civil servant whistleblowers and citizens injured by government corruption. The government had a choice to coverup the corruption with defamation lawsuits or find a few government scapegoats to serve as examples of government crime fighting. But on the whole the Prayut government effectively promoted corruption through Article 44 typically used on government projects. Among laws and regulations Article 44 Orders bypassed were anti-corruption laws! Five years of no transparency, no accountability. Let's see how PM Prayut functions now with real political opposition in the NLA.
