Corruption Survey

Assumption University released the results of an opinion survey on corruption. In the survey, 33.4% of respondents said they were pleased with the governments efforts at fighting corruption, 27.9% said the government was doing enough to fight corruption, and 7.9% said that they did not believe that corruption was a problem in Thailand in the first place.

In the wake of the GE Invision scanal, from this we can conclude that 33.4 percent of the respondents are die-hard Thaksin fanatics and unwilling to criticie anything he does, 27.9 percent were probably beneficiaries of corruption themselves in some way, and 7.9 percent thought that the survey was about Switzerland.

The survey also had the amazing but completely credible result that 68 percent of respondents said that they had been requested to pay bribes to state officials over the past three months.
