Speaking at a forum to mark Thailand’s Anti-Corruption Day on Wednesday, Mr Srettha, who is also the Finance Minister, said Thailand is ranked 101 globally in the Corruption Perceptions Index, and fourth in ASEAN. The event was hosted by the Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand (ACT) at Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal in Bangkok. In addition to create direct damage to the public sector, he said, corruption problems also caused distrust among investors which could lead to the economic recession and continuous impact against the GDP growth as well.

Popular Post Eff1n2ret Posted September 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Quote from the 17th Century:- "......before any payment can bee had one muste give half as much for bribes; truly a verye greate knaverye, the like whereof is not used in all the Indies,..." - from the description of the first East India Company visit to Bangkok in 1612 on the vessel "The Globe". Corruption is part of life here, they imbibe it with their mothers' milk. Edit: That's the London East India Company. The Dutch were here already, and the Portuguese before them.

Until the details are released all of them should be held in jail until they do. As is required by the constitution. Prayuth however refused point blank to do so.

webfact Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 Cash crackdown: Thai government’s e-payment pledge to curb corruption Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin revealed yesterday that the Thai government is set to implement e-payments across the state sector as a pivotal strategy to tackle the rampant issue of corruption. The announcement was made at an Anti-Corruption Day event organised by the Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT), which the prime minister chaired. This event marked Srettha’s first public forum since assuming the role of prime minister. The forum was held at the Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station’s fourth floor, and attended by approximately 500 individuals, including public officials and representatives from the private sector. The 61 year old PM expressed his concern over Thailand’s rank on the Corruption Perceptions Index last year, where it held the fourth position among ASEAN countries, trailing behind Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The prime minister noted that these countries are direct competitors of Thailand, making it imperative for the nation to improve its standing since corruption can significantly impact the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and investor confidence, reported Bangkok Post. “Corruption dampens investors’ confidence and undermines the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).” By Mitch Connor Top Picture courtesy of Thairath Full Story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thai-government-to-tackle-corruption-with-e-payments-and-digitalisation -- The Thaiger 2023-09-08 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
