September 25, 201114 yr "The Prime Minister took an oath against corruption and stressed that her government placed great important on promoting good morals and transparency among all officials. She also said she would like to see the culture of honesty manifest in the Thai society." Sincerity is the most important thing. When you can fake that you've got it made. Really judge, those were MY shares!
September 25, 201114 yr Once again trying to pull Thailand in the right direction for improvement....... Repetitive comments on this board citing corruption as the main block for Thailand to advance, the electorate making comment about their dislike of corruption and their wish for action Another initiative which should be greeted with enthusiastic support.......usual sceptics excepted of course

Yingluck joining the battle with k.Abhisit. There is however, one large problem. The Shinawatra name is as synonymous with corruption in Thailand as Bin Laden's was with terrorism or Capone's with mob violence and tax evasion. One does not become a multi - billionaire by chucking bahts in a piggy bank each week. You play the game, you get the name. The next few months will determine how really sincere our P.M. is about the task ahead. Na Ka!

September 25, 201114 yr I would like to see evidence of corruption Define the term "Corruption" first. Thaksin during his time of power had declared grease money, or tea money in Thailand, as not falling within his definition of corruption.
September 25, 201114 yr what would you define as corruption ? You lay the definition and I search for the evidence.
September 25, 201114 yr what would you define as corruption ? Well, to be pedantic try these. I believe one or more of these activities happens in Thailand every second. corruption Definition: dishonesty Synonyms: breach of trust, bribery, bribing, crime, crookedness, demoralization, exploitation, extortion, fiddling, fraud, fraudulency, graft, jobbery, malfeasance, misrepresentation, nepotism, on the take, payoff, payola, profiteering, racket, shadiness, shady deal, shuffle, skimming, squeeze*, unscrupulousness, venality and let's not forget tea money, backhanders, under the table,
September 25, 201114 yr my definition would be "personally benefiting from any actions that I take" Land case judged and defendant found guilty and sentenced to 2 years imprisonment. Fugitive fled overseas and passport (red?) will be returned to fugitive by present PM who is taking an oath against corruption...

Fugitive fled overseas and passport (red?) will be returned to fugitive by present PM who is taking an oath against corruption... I hate to repeat my previous posting; what's the relationship between the FIDF, BoT and the PM's Office ?
September 25, 201114 yr and where is the evidence that Thakin is corrupted ? Law was passed by Thaksin's government. Facts of the case are in court reports. Primary piece of evidence was Thaksin's signature to the Land Dept allowing his wife to acquire land auctioned by a government controlled body.
September 25, 201114 yr have you ever considered that the judgement was flawed ? Yes, that should always be considered. And then we (including you) can read through the judgement and find out that it wasn't.
September 25, 201114 yr the principles were wrong IMHO What were the principles and what was wrong about them?
September 25, 201114 yr and where is the evidence that Thakin is corrupted ? Ask him............he will lie................anyway everything was politically motivated...........so that must be the truth, been here long-??? or in denial ????
September 25, 201114 yr the relationship between FIDF, BoT and the PM's Office aren't some people naive, even with the recent government actions of reshuffling so many top government servants...:jap:
