New Bangkok bus tender has old whiff of corruption

Thai government procurement has been rampant with corruption for ages, and all Thais welcomed the junta’s pledge to cleanse us of this plague. Allowing Bestlin, which the Customs Department accuses of seeking to evade import duties on a massive scale, to bid would send a clear message that we’re not serious in our fight.
Bestlin must be banned from seeking to supply goods or services, directly or indirectly, for the BMA unless and until its name is cleared – and ideally, this ban should apply to other public sector units as well. Like Caesar’s wife, bidders must be above suspicion.
