Can anyone explain what the original Thai is? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 They are all corrupt beyond imagination. And the level of corruption simply escalates, the further up the food chain you go. They police and army are not expected to be honest, and they are not expected to engage in law enforcement, traffic or public safety, on any level. It is an irrevocably broken and dysfunctional system. Any hyperbole to the contrary, is just a smoke screen, intended to deceive the most naive amongst us. The Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) is one of the most feeble and ineffective of all the tools Prayuth has used to deceive the people into believing that he is fighting corruption. Who was the last high level authority, in the police, immigration, the army, or the active administration they arrested, charged, tried convicted, and sent to prison? Very few. Why? Because Prayuth has had a mandate from the beginning to do the very opposite. To protect the elite, the super wealthy who are guilty, those that are connected, and those who are in power. Just think Dark Tao. Just think Red Bull. The list goes on, and on, and on. Only the most naive amongst us believe he or ACT secretary-general Mana Nimitmongkol are sincere about this. 25 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Enzian Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yingluck said way back that officers should be prohibited from buying their promotions. Has that happened? We could have a debate society meeting with the theme, Which is worse, being unqualified for the job, or outright corruption? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Thailand makes a difference between "sacking" an official and "letting go" an official that needs to be explicitly pointed out? How quaint. What IS that difference, by the way? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Ray Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The only improvement would come from a root and branch reorganisation. This would entail the establishment of a foreign police-led Independent Commission Against Corruption as they did in Hong Kong prior to 1997, with Government and public support. But I don’t think the will exists in Thai society to do this, so without external pressure from the UN or donor countries it’s not going to happen. The US probably sees Thailand as a useful buffer against Chinese expansion so will not want to rock the boat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
