rametindallas Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Prayuth will be happy!! He and his gang came first again!! Fortunate for him he is not a politician then. Only one word I take issue with in that report: "Profession" Do you remember the story on this forum, a while back, about some PT politicians having to be subsidized by the party because they had no other profession than politics. I think some politicians (everywhere) look at their 'service' as a profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybother Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Actually, the poll revealed that people *think* political office is the most corrupt, not that it *is* the most corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasVic Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I am just amazed that senior military officers were not voted the most corrupt profession in Thailand, given the modern history of Thailand that would seem to be about right Oh wait, thats right they run the show so they weren't one of the choices on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> 88,37% political office is the most corrupt profession. 86,75% second most corrupt profession is police. 83.93% Government office is the third most corrupt profession. An indictment of the leadership of a country. To be more specific successive leadership from the beginning of Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selftaopath Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I wonder what the Thai people would do if they thought about it for a moment and realized that the Tax they pay on fuel, electricity, roads etc are partly being used for corruption/going into peoples private bank accounts, and not to better improve a situation that could benefit greatly by the Tax that people pay! EXACTLY. But "try" explaining that to the average Thai. Suspect blank stares to follow. Pitiful how they've been brought up not to "think/reason." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Lao Beach Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The poll says 88.37 of 1,312 people it asked said political office is the most corrupt profession. SO that is an average of ONLY 17 people surveyed per province, and this is called a poll ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabhand Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The poll says 88.37 of 1,312 people it asked said political office is the most corrupt profession. SO that is an average of ONLY 17 people surveyed per province, and this is called a poll ? Indeed it is. Normally a sample size of a little over 1,000 provides a high level of confidence in the outcome - usually at 95% and with an accuracy level of +/- 3%. Most polls use this sample size as any larger, and therefore more expensive, polls, only provide a relatively small increase in accuracy levels. This gives some background: http://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm Of course, it also depends on the sample not being biased..........! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oziex1 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 This is not just a Thai phenomenon...it is a worldwide disaster... Yep Can western politicians control the banking system, apparently not, why is that? Can western politicians control corporate greed, apparently not, why is that? Our politicians are weak against the power of the above mentioned institutions, they may not actually receive money for their own pocket from them but political donations and other hidden favours for sure. As corrupt as anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The 11% who did not list it as the most corrupt profession must be in politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
