Oh god ... the end of world is coming. Will the transparent and honest police have different uniform from the shadowy corrupted ones - just worried that I might not spot the difference and try to bribe the wrong ones :D :D

he needs to sort himself out and answer the offences he has committed before he tries to reform anything, in fact maybe he should win an election before he tries to reform anything.

Grow up Tony.

agree 100%.. But let us NOT forget that, 1 step forward still is 1 step forward,

even if it is a extremely small step forward.

Good luck Thailand,

weeding out corruption is not impossible, HK and Singapore did it, even the UK had corrupt officers in the 60's

It would just my luck that in a couple years when I buy my stepson a job in the police force they turn around and clean it up.

Maybe the army might be a better choice.

So you think the country should stop up.

Full stop.

Stop all progression.

Then fully concentrate on the past, and try to deal with that first, which will take....about 20 years maybe??

And when that is done, the country can start move forward again, trying to gain on Laos (and other countries), which in the mean time continued to progress.

I believe the country and its government is able to do many things (multi task) at the same time.

Dont you think?

Agree.

Corruption is cancer on the society, and it takes a lot of time.

But it is doable.

The USA also used yo have problems.

You are joking right? Do you really believe that the police in the US are not corrupt? Sure, they won't take a bribe from you instead of a traffic ticket. They will give protection to a drug dealer, and even eliminate his competition.

and the 70's 80's 90's...

Compared to what it used to be, it is not the same burden on the society as it was.
