Thailand slides three places in global corruption index

 

ONLY three places? What happened last year?

 

Red Bull chap 'Boss' bought his way out of court - when FOREIGN newspapers found out and reported on it,, Thailand was shocked that no local media had reported it at all.

 

Capt Thamanat (Capt Flour), a convicted heroin dealer in Australia wound up as a minister in government. Despite court documents showing his guilt and name changes, the constitutional court is still dragging it's heels and won't tell us if it'll issue a ruling on his qualifications. 

 

Migrants have shown how corrupt the border patrol is - very porus borders

 

Prawits watch scandal - no issue

 

Gambling dens and police corruption have been in focus the last few months

 

Police screwing over other police and stealing the COVID allowance from other officers

 

I could go on, but it's pointless. Corruption is as natural as breathing in Thailand. Three places is lucky I'd say.

The only surprise is they only fell 3 places.

Im sure they will try to sell it as a win and sell Bottom as top ???? - all the Junta - you have to love the way they spin things.

I wouldn't call it a "slide" as that implies some sort of "slip slidin' away". This more akin to a "march in lockstep" to greener pastures, for some/many.

Only true democracy defeats corruption. A regular changing of the "guard" regularly exposes corruption. One party states are designed to focus corruption on the self elected elite which is their driving force.

Ssshh, we would not want to anger the Government of PM Chan-Ocha that does everything above board, and takes great care of the people without allowing corruption.  The Good PM has made it well known that he would stop corruption when he was Legally elected.  What, he hasn't, oh shame on him then.

 In reality he hasn't broken his promise to stop corruption as he wasn't/hasn't been legally elected.

So then he can't be convicted of lying then, can he, oh wait he never could be arrested as he has given himself a get of of jail and prison as well as get out of prosecution Amnesty card, just like he gave the entire Junta.  Well then he definitely is a true despot and Head of the Mafia snake, isn't he.  Where are the Government backers to say everything said is incorrect.....yeah, I thought so...nothing to see here, only a corruption index that will continue to grow instead of decrease.  How many billions or trillions must be taken before they are happy.
