Thailand observes International Anti-Corruption Day

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - The authorities in different areas have pledged not to tolerate corruption on the occasion of International Anti-Corruption Day December 9.

 

The Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, along with officers of the ministry pledged to work with sincerity focusing on the greater good rather than personal benefit, as well as to protect the nation, religion and the monarchy. The minister also called on every officer to work in accordance with good governance and be a refuge for the citizens.

 

At Nakhon Ratchasima, there was also a “Zero Tolerance” event urging local authorities to be aware of the damage of corruption. The event also included the handing of anti-corruption awards to organizations that had passed a transparency test.

 

In other provinces including Phrae and Pattani, the governors asked provincial sectors not to tolerate any corruption and to achieve international standards of transparency. In addition the two provinces also pledged to monitor and report any forms of corruption.

Two Thai government officials talking over lunch:

A: Did you know that today was International Anti Corruption day?

B: No!

Anti corruption shipping containers and razor wire again deployed in a 3km area of Bangkok to keep the corrupted inside one place is today's observation ???? 

So it is the annual celebration for Anti Any Corruption Day, got it now.  No wonder they are posting the Redbull bribery and corruption story, saving FACE.

Oh the irony!
