Indonesia retains most-corrupt status
Indonesia is still considered to be the most corrupt country in Asia according to a
survey released this week.
The Asian Intelligence report found Indonesia was perceived as the most corrupt of 13
Asia-Pacific countries listed for the sixth year running.
Indonesia's image was seen as a hangover from the Suharto era.
However, the report found China's perceived corruption grew more than any other
country, putting it in fifth place behind Indonesia, India, Vietnam and Thailand.
The report surveyed the views of 1,072 expatriates working in Asia.
Singapore was easily the cleanest country, followed by Australia, the United States
and Hong Kong.
