Cambodia the most corrupt in ASEAN
Cambdia the most corrupt in Asean often have not been there due to this. has cost the country lots of my money not being spent there
Cambodia the most corrupt country in Asia ? These statistics often have some "western bias" built in, just like the Human Rights Watch. My personal view is that what westerners describe as Corruption is mostly Tea Money, considered Fees in western Countries. While you can considerably speed up things here with some Tea Money you get nothing like that for your Fees and Taxes back home. So as far as i am concerned i'd rather live in a Country like Cambodia.

Anti-corruption laws and efforts have been central to every ruling dynasty in East Asia as it undermines their power structure; "Tea Money" included. It isn't a Western concept.Expatissimo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:51 amCambodia the most corrupt country in Asia ?

The system you described works for you as you can afford it; not so useful if you are a farmer from Prey Veng.
It is likely you only have the purchasing power you do due to economic benefits enhanced by anti-corruption efforts in your home country.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
