Corruption awareness remains low: Survey

Thai corruption perception index was up slightly from 3.5 points in November to 3.6 points in December, according to a survey by the Thai Chamber of Commerce.



Despite the increase, the index is still low, said Pramon Sutivong, chairman of the Anti-Corruption Network, reflecting the low awareness of such issue.

                                  To increase awareness in corruption, the network has set up the "Watchdog"project to recruit volunteers. They would be tasked to monitor activities, in particular the government's post-flood rehabilitation investment.
