I en opinionsmätning bland 1228 hushåll får man det (iaf för mig) uppseendeväckande
resultatet att 84 % tycker korruption är OK, t.o.m. i regeringskretsar
om "det leder till att det dagliga livet förbättras för vanligt folk".
I en ledare daterad 1 juli i dagens Bangkok Post kan man läsa om detta och det sägs bl.a.:
I don’t know whether they have ever been through recent history and found a country
where there was a corrupt government that made its people happy and brought about
prosperity and development to the country.
I bet they could never find one.
The closest example is perhaps Thailand under the Thaksin regime which was alleged to be corruption-prone
but managed to win the hearts of the grassroot people with its populist policies and generous handouts.
But did the regime really bring about prosperity to the country and improved livelihood to the people?
Many grassroot people might have been duped or corrupted by the populist policies
and generous handouts to the extent that they were led to believe that those represented
prosperity and better livelihood.
Apparently overlooked or blinded were the hefty amount of taxpayers’ money which were
siphoned away into the private coffers of the corrupt politicians which should otherwise
have been spent for the good of the country and the people.
Those handouts were just the leftovers used to buy the loyalty of the impoverished grassroot people.
