Oziex1 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Well, its a start. But I wonder if there is enough ink and paper in the Kingdom to finish the list! No of course not , the budget for the new ink and paper was divyed up amongst government officials long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 They did want to make a list of non corrupt officials but soon realized the search was futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupatria Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I did not read further than this: 100 government officials suspected of being involved in corruption, for consideration of how to act against them. Maybe it’s a surprise for Thais but according to the law, corruption is a serious crime. In what state is this country in, if punishment for law breakers is taken in consideration? And how does it appear to Thais that only one person is privileged to consider? They will probably never discover how big the mess is they created. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangebrew Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Here an idea MAKE A LIST OF THOSE NOT CORRUPT THEN JAIL AND SIEZE ASSETS OF REST. I printed that large so Thai's wouldn't miss understand. the non corrupt list fit's on head of a pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post madmitch Posted April 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Wait, let me guess. Exactly zero of the corrupt officials will be military. Even though the military is the most corrupt organization in Thailand. A friend of mine yesterday paid 60,000 baht to get her son out of the National Service draft lottery. How many more around the country did the same? That would amount to a lot of money and probably the main reason that the military want to keep National Service.

phoenixdoglover Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 This is how the purge begins. Corruption! Corruption! Mr. Prime Minister will save us. Who cares about due process, anyway? It was taking too much time. Thank goodness for Article 44. Mr. Prime Minister shall make the decisions based on evidence. He is a just and beloved leader. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 It would appear that this Bonanza owner is the son of former red shirt leader Paiwong Taechanarong. LINK It would appear that Paiwong began accumulating this land in 2004. I wonder how many reds are on this list of 100. I hope the list is both sides of the aisle. Well with the Shinawatra clan so long in power, who will have their cronies promoted, automatically there will be more reds than yellows who have the chance to be corrupt. (If it is a list of high level corruption....not some low level who take 1000 Baht) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveat Emptor Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Wait, let me guess. Exactly zero of the corrupt officials will be military. Even though the military is the most corrupt organization in Thailand. I would think the military has a lot of competition for the number 1 spot although being something of a closed shop it must be hard to get into what actually going on. I would take a brave soul to hand the PM with a list including military names unless they've been double and triple checked to make sure they're not a pal. Self-preservation for the investigators. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowboat Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 This is just to test the system. Once they have worked through the first 100 and stamped out any flaws they will get on with a 1000 next time. All Red Shirts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FireMedic Posted April 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2015 Until Thailand deems graft and corruption an offense against the state and penalizes harshly like China and others, it will continue on forever. More BS transfers and lateral movements will not solve the generations upon generations of this behavior. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffinator Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Only 100? That's the first thought that came to mind and I see many have beaten me to it. I wonder if they can spell the word 'FARCE' let alone comprehend its meaning. Once again the issue of who is and who is not corrupt is reasonable easy to determine ... hold a public inquiry run by the free press to examine the financial interests, bank accounts etc of all those who have served in gov. If Prayut is interested in transparency and fairness let him be the first to be subjected to a full investigation. Anyone who has nothing to hide would openly welcome the move in order to unite the people and it would be a positive step in the right direction to heal the wounds this country has suffered for so long.

He has a naughty list. Does he have a nice list ? Could a red shirt possibly make the nice list ? Could people with apposing views to his and the Thai elite actually be good for the country ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I hope the list is both sides of the aisle". Agreed, that would be fair, but given the history of past transgressors, IMO 'ruddy' is likely to be the colour of more than 50%.

Bakseeda Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 A quick look then " not him or him or her and definitely not him, the rest are yours so get on with it. " The headlines will read that the PM has ordered action against corrupt officials but without any report on how many have ' escaped ' and why except maybe ' insufficient evidence ' despite the Justice Minister saying there is. For Gods sake , give this man a chance.... All journeys begin with the first step... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
