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.

They did want to make a list of non corrupt officials but soon realized the search was futile.

Right now the guy who is number 101 on the list is hoping no one higher up dies

Just 100?

how do they count 100 +

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.

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.

Heck, I know 100 in just my little sphere of contacts in the "outback" of Thailand!

Whoa hold on better rethink this If list goes over 100 who will run the country And where are all the Thai's?

Just 100?

Nueng roi ,neung neung roi song, Pan

A few 0's missing.

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.

I must be mistaken as I really thought that there were way more than 100 police in the country.

100 officials... so there are 2,000,000 more

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.

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)

I'm confused...

The Centre for National Anti Corruption (CNAC) has compiled the list

Isn't it their job to catch these corrupt people?

Are the people making the list putting their names down first?

How much does it cost not to be on the list?

Maybe indicative of how things are going in that everything has to be approved from on high ?

Just 100?

My exact thoughts.

They gonna make a list tambon by tambon. OTOP you remember.

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.

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 ?

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.

Well, its a start. But I wonder if there is enough ink and paper in the Kingdom to finish the list!

Its a historic start.

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.

Given the good general's less than brilliant personality, should this exercise look like a witch hunt of political foes, it will reflect poorly on him and the country. 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 ?

"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%.

All Red Shirts ?

Hopefully not, Yellowboat.

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...

100. Drop in a bucket. Try 1,000,000?
