planemad Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Corruption is everywhere. We from the West seem to be far better at hiding it than here in the East, maybe that is why there is such a big stink about it when it gets uncovered back there. As an aside, I work in Muscat, Oman. A strictly Muslim country but with quite a liberal outlook towards it's expat community. One might think that hearing of the horrendous ways in which Muslims (allegedly) treat their criminals, crime and corruption would be considerably less. Not a bit of it, 15 or so years ago they built a wonderful Mosque, it is quite exquisite, however, it was paid for at least twice over as funds were siphoned into officials pockets. No-one was charged. Where have we heard that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metisdead Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 While there is corruption in Thailand, the article is related to corruption in Spain, therefore not Thai related and now closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
