arrowsdawdle Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Any time a Thai tries to tell you that Sakdina is a part of the past and no longer exists in Thailand, simply point to the fact that each person's wealth is reported "as legally required" in conformance with the institutionalized, legislated Sakdina system of inequality where a person's wealth makes their voice in court take precedence over persons of lesser wealth.

Dogmatix Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If I recall correctly Kuhn Jane's family business is Asia Fiber a smaller company listed on the SET for many years. It is not surprising his family had money but would have expected more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dispute that Sakdina is still widespread in Thailand. However, office holders are required by law to disclose their assets within three months of entering a higher political office. The Anti-Corruption Commission requires the disclosure upon entering office, and leaving office, to determine if an office holder became unusually wealthy while in office. The typical penalty for failing to file an asset disclosure is a 5-year ban from holding political office. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/957379-jeng-dokjik-banished-from-politics-for-5-years/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young there was a popular song, "A Boy Named Sue." The kid's father had no money or property to leave him, so gave him the name so he would grow up having to fight every day and become strong, self-confident, and able to make his way in the world. This doesn't sound the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retiredandhappyhere Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If only these boys could apply what appears to be remarkable business acumen for the benefit of the country. Thailand would, like them, soon be doing remarkably well! I hope I live to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
