Corruption makes thailand go around.
The black money economy dwarfs the transparent economy ten fold.
It's impossible at this point. Maybe take the 1000 baht note out of circulation and replace it like others have done to curb the problem.

Regardless of the flavour of swill in the trough, the taste is irresistible.

I for one think it's hilarious that the most corrupt organization is calling a crackdown on corruption. This whole effort is simply a hostile takeover.

[Thechook]

The same aggressive approach you are taking against the monk?

[mark131v]

Ah the eternal hypocrite! do as I say but don't you dare ask me.....

 

If he had any morals at all you might believe some of what he spouts, unfortunately he has proved time and again to be a bit thick and somewhat dishonest, that said I reckon there will be a few equally deluded junta cheerleaders along shortly to put us straight....

You are right but unfortunately this is a society bereft of even the most rudimentary moral compass, fact is most of those in charge are a bunch of complete and utter <deleted> who will never ever learn, hard not to despise them really.....

[ezzra]

Can't stop grafts, it's in the people's psyche, in their genes.... they were raised

to give bribs and to expect to be given.....

[colinneil]

Thailand without corruption would grind to a halt.

Tackling craft would need to start at the top.

 

[williamgeorgeallen]

guy needs to chill out, he has another 19 years to stop it.

[Brer Fox]

Why the sudden urgency? The PM's master plan of 20 years to eliminate corruption still has 19 years and 6 months to run.

PM calls for aggressive approach to tackle graft

 

His whole Junta/Coup is a graft

 

[Hayduke]

Yes, corruption and graft have gotten out of control. One problem may be that there are too many individual graft pyramids. Things would be so much better if there were only one supreme pyramid and a piece of absolutely everything went straight to the top. This is definitely the way to go. Let’s work on that, shall we boys?

[mikebell]

A public helpline with no charges against complainants would ensure 100% of Pattaya bar owners would not have to pay the local BIB.

[arrowsdawdle]

The translation of tackling graft by the little general actually means eliminating small fry bottom feeders cutting in on hi-so action.

[Emster23]

Knute at it again. Yada yada..... snowballs chance in Hat Yai.

PM calls for graft cases to be expedited, Article 44 used

PRIME Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday ordered that cases of graft be prosecuted more quickly, including continued use of the interim charter’s Article 44 to target allegedly corrupt officials.

 

Prayut’s order was made during a meeting of the National Anti-Corruption Committee that he presided over.

 

Prayut has used Article 44 against 353 officials for allegedly committing graft and 81 have been punished, said Prayong Preeyachit, secretary-general to the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission.

 

The NACC also found grounds to press charges against 17 officials, while 98 had been dismissed from work and 41 have been investigated, Prayong said.

Yes, correct. Slow and steady wins the race. Please ask the turtle.

[Caveat Emptor]

When he says things like this in the cabinet room i wonder who is the first to laugh or do they all wait obediently until he does first ?

[greenchair]

Guess he could start with his nephew and work down from there. 

The father cannot tell his son not to smoke , when he smokes himself. 

Tried and proven confusious. .....

Monkey see monkey do. 

[Deez]

If he wants to be taken seriously, start with the army.

[mtls2005]

Seems to be the same ten or so phrases spouted since May, 2014, when the string is pulled?

 

"Tackle graft"

 

"Reform education"

 

"There will not be a coup"

 

"Elections will be held next year"

 

"Was she wearing a bikini?"

 

"Everyone exercise now"

 

"We're following a roadmap to Democracy"

 

"I don't have a brother or nephew"

 

"There was no graft at Rajabhakti Park"

 

"Our loans, subsidies, gifts are not populist"

need to set realistic goals which dont need to be completed in their lifetimes. that way they can not be held accountable when the plans fail.

[Pib]

What about an aggressive approach to having early elections (or any elections).

Exactly. The aim is to consolidate all corruption under a single pyramid.

Or at least the POLICE.

 

But that will NOT happen and we all know why.

The old straight and narrow speech yet again. Yes corruption is evil but the scent of money can be overpowering to say the least. A vehicle upgrade a promotion a second mia noi. Be gone you evil thoughts.
