An opinion survey has found that more than 80 per cent of respondents believe the rice-pledging scheme was plagued with corruption.
The survey was carried out by Assumption University’s Abac Poll among 1,432 residents of 17 provinces from June 19 to 22. The respondents are at least 18 years old.
The survey found that 81.2 per cent of the respondents believe the scheme was plagued with corruption while 18.8 per cent believe it was corruption-free.
But 65.1 per cent replied that it was not right for the government to reduce the rice price from Bt15,000 to Bt12,000 per tonne while the 34.9 per cent said it was a right decision.
