Power and Duties of the National Anti-Corruption Commission
Skeptical! The anti corruption commission is probably corrupt...I see quite a few people have viewed this one and yet no comments!
Why I wonder?
Lost for words
Trying to take a positive stance
Not feeling cynical today
Not wishing to state the obvious
Well good luck to them!

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
Yeah, all looks good on paper, but it appears to be a fairly toothless department. If they actually exercised their remit properly then no-one would like what they would find and people might start having "accidents".
The corruption is so widespread that it's almost generic here. It's gone too far and it's too ingrained into every corner of everything. Whilst there is no credible social security system etc and it's everyone for themselves, it will never change. Stuff like this is just window dressing to appear like something is being done.
Don't envy the Thai that's head of that department. As said many times before here "Thailand is not short of laws/systems etc, it's short of enforcement."
There just isn't the will to sort these sort of subjects out. Sorry to be cynical but just can't be anything else on this one, I'm afraid.
