NCC1701A Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 So on the website there is a iPhone app for reporting! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stop-corruption/id563113095?ls=1&mt=8 So if you are pulled over by the police you have your app running on your iPhone and it is all filled out with your finger on the submit report button? GO AHEAD! MAKE MY DAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhizBang Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Seeing their website, seems only locals can report corruption (or someone who can read/write Thai language)Yes, I noticed that.Guess they do NOT want any input from us lowly farang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbamboo Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Corruption is the ONLY reason anything get done in this country! Police actually enforcing the law and not taking bribes? Motorists will be outraged at having to pay the real 500 baht fine instead of the 100 baht bribe to the officer. Everyone ends up unhappy....tomorrow and the next day and every other day will be business as usually in the LoS. A cabinet reshuffle just moves the pigs around the troughs. To eliminate corruptions means there will be no cabinet. Who is gonna do that job for a lousy 70K a month or whatever their real salary is. Maybe someone who puts his country and his people ahead of his own greed? There are some honest Thais around you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AleG Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 There is simply so much crap that comes from the mouths of the Shiniwatra's that it is plausible that their parents put the nappies on the wrong end. This re shuffle, like those gone before is to establish potential blame hounds and muddy the waters of any ensuing investigations into the myriad of dodgy deals that have been put in place The only actions taken are not for the benefit of public of Thailand but simply to preserve their own ass and rice bowl. Collectively they do not possess one iota of tangible respect with regard to their character or abilities Dispicably corrupt, pathetic and morally bankrupt. Simply fat pigs feeding from the common trough. Well, it seems to work, who remembers Yongyuth now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMick Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 What if there was no heaven or hell? what if there was no afterlife? it is faith that keeps us sane. BUT What if there was a heaven, a hell, or afterlife? What if this drive to stop corruption actually works? What then? would one crawl back under the slimy rock from where one came? or would one be bold and admit that they were wrong? the latter i think. I would freely admit that this government was sincere in their attempts to stamp out corruption the day that Thaksin is extradited in chains and thrown into a cell awaiting hearing of his other corruption charges. As they seem to have trouble admitting his passport was illegally issued, I would rate the odds of that happening as slightly lower than JC descending on a cloud to take the faithful to your H,H &A, unless of course he really was an alien playing tricks on the galaxy's retards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand49 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm still rolling on the floor! This is got to be a big joke and they actually can say it with a straight face! This country officials jobs are given out like candy for family who have no expertise in running this country. The talk about reshuffle reshuffle what once corrupt official from one end of the building to the other? Two years ago, it was reported in the Bangkok Post that the country loses 200 BILLION A YEAR DUE TO CORRUPTION. That is a hell of lot of money to continue to just talk like they do for everything else but this time I guess they mean it the answer is to RESHUFFLE. Does that mean they too will learn the 2 step dance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GentlemanJim Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 A friend of mine was recently invited to sell something very expensive to the military. I warned him about the corruption. He came out to present his 'stuff' and when I called him to ask how it went, he said he simply could not believe how upfront everything was. He expected whispered speech behind closed doors but oh no, they came straight out with it in the middle of the presentation when it came to pricing. He said they didn't even try to hide the obscene amount of money they wanted to have directed to themselves in cash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baerboxer Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 So a government controlled by a fugitive convicted criminal, who faces other charges too, which now imports people who were banned from politics for 5 years due to their corrupt activities, directly into ministerial seats, will rid Thailand of its centuries old endemic corruption Give Yingluck 6 months and just see what happens...................... sweet FA!!

hellodolly Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I will believe it when I see the first cabinet member or hiso go to jail for at least 20 years. Other than that just more blah blah blah. Mere words mean nothing. Everybody wants to see the results. Impossible, the only way is total Feudal Thai high-so politicians GENOCIDEAside from the absurdly over the top and ugly nature of your comment, it reflects an important and too widely accepted fallacy:Corruption is systemic and virtually universal. It is not even CLOSE to accurate to say that it exists entirely or even primarily among "Feudal Thai high-so politicians"; moreover the root of the problem is a socio-cultural one and if you took away the top level of the social hierarchy (or even the top few levels) those that rose to replace them would be just as corrupt. Indeed if you took the very lowest tier of society and magically put them at the top, they'd be no less corrupt. So your basic believe is that out of 66,000,000 people 66,000,000 of them are corrupt.

eddie61 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I am new to the country, only arrived 3 weeks ago but read the papers, and never heard there was corruption in Thailand. It seems most unlikely in a country where a Deputy Prime Minister, who started his career as a policemen, rising to the rank of pol. capt. is paid well enough to drive pink Bentleys (plural intended). Or am I missing something? Edited July 1, 2013 by eddie61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't know how to say this without being offensive but I am totally sincere - it's not me simply trying to put you down: I can't tell if you are deliberately distorting what I said in order to attempt to make me look bad or if you are honestly that simplistic and lacking in the ability to comprehend what I actually said. Read it again, and see if you can work it out. If you then still think my basic "believe" (sic) is as you described, I'll attempt to explain it to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
