Popular Post sammyoz Posted September 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2023 ????????????????????

"Fight against corruption" is a standard saying in Asia, it's like asking someone "How are you", it doesn't mean anything but it is expected, once the platitudes are out of the way you can say what you really want to talk about like, "How much do we have to pay the anti=corruption commission".

thailand49 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 What these leaders are good at maybe the best at it is come up with slogans, gesture and wild claims as to what they plan to do and the results are always the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted September 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2023 17 hours ago, 2baht said: PM Vows to Crackdown on Corruption They all say that! ???? They do. they do, and the end result is always the same. Nothing happens. But, as I've posted several times before, the Thai system is that he has spoken, made his recommendations, and his job is done. Anything that happens later is not his responsibility. You, I, he and everyone else knows that what is said will be ignored and is unenforceable, but that is not the point. He has acted, done what he considers to be his job, while actually doing nothing. This happens all the time, at least once a week. Someone makes a declaration and the next day it's ignored and forgotten. But that person has done their job by 'acting'. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinRacing Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Six out of seven in the photo have dyed their hair. Old men deceiving themselves and others pretending to be someone they’re not MAY be an indication of a corrupt person. Of course not proven scientifically but hey this is not a scientific forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarius Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 There are some iron clad rules. One of which is that an incoming PM in Thailand will claim to want to do something about corruption, but Thailand will be as corrupt as ever, possibly more so, when Srettha leaves office. His partners-in-crime will leave the coalition if he takes away the trough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissanc Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) I don't know if the Prime Minister can pass such a law on his own because Parliament certainly won't, but I'd like to see caning implemented for corruption like in Singapore. But make it public for maximum shaming. Followed by losing your job and an indelible stamp being put on your forehead. Few would dare to be corrupt then. Also, Thailand would probably be about one trillion Baht richer each year because of the 30% Rule.

lordgrinz Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Yeah, right! The party (Pheu Thai) of corruption, who has created a coalition including the most corrupt characters (military stooges) in political history, is not about to give up the gravy train. The only hope anyone had of ending corruption died when the new PM's "corrupt" party and his coalition of the "corrupt" (MP's/Generals/Senators) sabotaged the MFP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickudon Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 There have been a whole spate of corruption cases in the news the last few days, a coincidence? Not sure if it is the old government letting these go forward so that Srettha cannot claim credit for prosecuting them, or if the prosecutors feel there is a chance that they will not be penalised for publicising them, now that the government has changed (a bit).
