There is corruption everywhere in the world. there's no secret to anyone, But just how corrupt are certain countries. As for our country ''Laos'' they probably have a commitee check(Sub-Sin Kong PheanDin) But don't forget Laos just like any Socialist countries like: Vietnam, China, Burma,North Korea for example, Corruption can't be talked about and expressed openly in the media. even its residents want to protest and speak about it, they may have their life in danger or there is no mass media outlet that can have their views freely spoken. So i decided to do some research and our country''Laos'' ranks 77 in the world, just one point ahead of China, Morocco,Senegal,Sri Lanka, Suriname. Thailand ranks 59, Malaysia ranks 39, Vietnam ranks 107, Philippine ranks 117, Cambodia ranks 130, Indonesia ranks 137, Burma ranks 155, Only Singapore that did really good ranks 5 in the world of transparency International... and as in Southeast asian nations only three countries are ahead of Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. But confidential of investment right now ''Laos'' is ahead of Thailand by 4.4 percent to 4.1 percent... that's why recently news that came out that said they were worried about Laos that let countries like China and Vietnam influence them, this was came from some of the experts from the surround the region and as well as some European experts too. and as for us'' Lao Noks'' we just have to keep an eyes what Lao's PDR going to do next move....
