I've been waiting anxiously for fountainhall's "take" on the latest update on the "corruption" in the rice-pledging scheme. Keen readers will recall it was one of the reasons the coup leaders gave for their actions. Here's the latest from the Bangkok Post, well-known as a bastion of Red Shirt support: "After the completion of the inspection [in 14 north-eastern provinces], it was concluded that 4,298 sacks of rice from a total of 23,235,449 stored at 297 warehouses had gone missing. The amount was only 0.018% of the total and did not exceed the 5% margin of error fixed by the committee set up to check the quantity and quality of rice." However perhaps fountainhall is off with his hero seeking holiness?
