Hi,
http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Singapore/Story/A1Story20090408-134144.html
The PERC report shows the rankings of countries in terms of
corruption.
I have questions regarding this PERC thingy.
1. AFP : "Here is a table of the corruption scores of 14 Asian
economies as seen in a survey of more than 1,700 expatriate
business executives by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy
(PERC) and made available to AFP on Wednesday."
=> So, is this based on FACTs or Released FACTs or just a
survey polling 1700 EXPATs? If they are EXPATs, how they know
about Government things, given 'P' in PERC stands for Political? Is
it based on released news?
2. What information does these 1700 EXPATs base on ?
Do these have access to all information about Corruption?
Do these know all corruption that has ever been committed or is
in-progress?
3. Can Money Laundering be considered
as Corruption , in one way or another?
How does these 1700 Expats know who has committed corruption and
who has not?
Or is the survey based on IMPRESSIONs or ASSUMPTIONs of the 1700
EXPATs?
Have the 1700 EXPATS checked everyone in all these countries,
their bank accounts and transactions conducted by everyone?
I hope all of you can see the validity of my questions and hope
to get some clarification if possible.
