hellodolly Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Not when the goal is to be number 1 (e.g. The least corrupt ) For example... Singapore is number 5 in the world Thailand was 88 and is now 102... So this is worse not better... Wrong again the goal is to be non corrupt. You are treating it like a my dick is bigger than your dick contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) I usually think it can't get much worse in the area of corruption, but I suppose there is always room for deterioration. My son, always remember that no matter where or when the ever lasting light is shone onto darkness over the world... "Things are never so bad, that they can't get worse, worser and the worsest here " Just ask and English teacher.

hellodolly Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 i think this list should be re-titled: countries not so good at covering up their corruption.. Now that is truly a statement that one would expect from a gifted PTPredshirt. I bet they even let you skip a grade in red shirt school on democracy with guns, rockets and fire. I understand they even gave out a doctorate in B S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffinator Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Not exactly a healthy situation and will certainly have foreign investors worried. A long, long, long, long, long way to go before an real improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan michaud Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 "Slips" from 88 to 102, I would call that plummets. The Cambodia 'slipped' a couple of places but I would call a drop of 14 places pretty dramatic. Hardly a surprise anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdoom6996 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yes, more corrupt, but here a bigger number is usually considered better, whether tourist arrival numbers, Km/h or even volume control settings. So guess the goal is number 177. It then ranks countries on a scale of 0-100, where 0 means a country’s public sector is considered highly corrupt and 100 means it is regarded as very clean.

allan michaud Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Now waiting for a speech from PM Yingluck stating the improved ranking was a result of all the hard work she and her government had put into corruption May want to re-read the article...

brit1984 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 the government has apparently already drawn up a plan to improve thailand's position in the corruption rankings.... significant funds have been set-aside from the public budget and ministers will meet with representatives from Transparency International in an attempt to make a deal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aust is ranked the 9th country for transparency They had a score of 81. The higher the score the better a country has performed in transparency.

Larry001 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 So many members do not read articles properly. The listing is for transparency. The higher the score the better. The lower your score means the more corrupt. Thailand came out in 102nd place for transparency 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestBitterPhuket Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Thailand and Thai's will NEVER have an improved standard of living unless they are able to: 1. Get corruption under control 2. Open the economy for foreign participation 3. Raise the standard of education Both "Democrats" and Shinawatra Inc. have managed to do NOTHING with the above. Currently there is no hope. Only a real revolution led by a strong and incorrupt leader, not affiliated with the Democrats or PT, has a chance to rescue Thailand. Does such a person and movement exist? Not today. A clean and incorrupt military leader could do the same trick. Does he exist? I hope so...but wouldn't hold my breath.
