Dear all,
30 April – 9 May 2013 We have “ASEAN Anti-Corruption Youth Camp” project with cooperation between The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and Foundation for International Human Resource Development (FIHRD) By this project, NACC selects youths from 10 countries in ASEAN to be participant. The activities are about moral and ethics and Anti-Corruption case studies from the experience of each country. The goal is to find the common root problem and to develop an Anti-Corruption plan for ASEAN Community on the basis of moral principles which will lead to a happy and balanced Asian community.
The "ASEAN Anti-Corruption Youth Camp" will be an interesting prototype project which reflects the importance of joining forces of the ASEAN members, led by Thailand.
For sharing in learning community , I opened this blog as the channel for sharing idea together.

……………………………………………………………
Excellencies,
Distinguished Guests,
Prof. Dr. Chira Hongladarom,
Participants,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning,
I am delighted to be here this morning to preside over the opening ceremony of the ASEAN Anti-Corruption Youth Camp.
First and foremost, allow me to offer a very warm welcome to all participants and resource persons, particularly to those who visit Thailand for the first time. I hope your stay in Thailand will be both educational and enjoyable.
As all of you know, at the ninth ASEAN Summit in October 2003 in Bali, Indonesia, ASEAN leaders signed the Bali Accord II declaring the regional cooperation to establish ASEAN Community.
ASEAN Community has emphasized regional cooperation in the “three pillars”, which are security, economic and socio-cultural integration.
Under the agreed principles of ASEAN Political - Security Community, one of the integral cooperations is that the members committed to share disciplines, values and norms.
With respect to the corruption prevention and suppression part, there are many important activities which ASEAN member countries have to work together. For example, they must promote ASEAN cooperation in the corruption prevention and suppression, work under international cooperation framework and promote the exchange of the best practices in values, ethics and honesty through available channels.
In Thailand, Sanya Dharmasakti Anti-Corruption Institute is a responsible agent for human resource development for the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission. The Institute envisages that the values, honesty and anti-corruption must be instilled to the people as earlier as young age, both in Thailand and ASEAN countries. This is to respond to ASEAN’s principles of community in sharing ethical, moral and anti-corruption values.
To enhance such values, the Institute collaborating with Foundation for International Human Resource Development organizes this ASEAN Anti-Corruption Youth Camp.
The main purpose of this Camp is to provide ASEAN’s youths with opportunities to learn about morality, ethics and anti-corruption approaches from Thai experiences and foreign speakers, especially to establish venue for them to work together to gain the best practices in corruption prevention and suppression in ASEAN context. This, I am sure that the outcome in the long-run would enable ASEAN people to adhere to morality and ethics which in turn lead them to happy society with balance and sustainability.
The youths participating in this Camp are delegates from your respective countries. I would like to give some advises that the next nine days will be a special opportunity to make friends and create network for the sustainable friendship in the future. A good example to support such remarks is the successful project on Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program that has been continuously successful organized for decades. Youths who participated in such project have been still contacting and working together in organizing useful activities up to the present.
With regards to learning frontier, I would like to urge all participants to grasp this golden opportunity to learn from experts, resource persons including assigned activities and study visits to enhance the following goals.
The first goal is to create the sustainable network for youth leaders in corruption prevention and suppression to be able to organize and follow-up activities together in the future.
The second goal is to instill the shared values in morality and ethics which are the integral elements to support sustainably develop youth leadership.
The third goal is to develop ASEAN Community to be Learning Community.
Ladies and Gentlemen
To that note, again I would like to express my highly appreciation to Foundation for International Human Resource Development for its technical support to this project.
Last but not least, I wish all participants of the ASEAN Counter-Corruption Youth Camp an enriching time in Thailand. I trust that you will find this leg of the journey culturally rich and rewarding. It is my hope that you will look back upon your days here with great fondness. Have a wonderful stay in Thailand and memorable journey!
I am now declaring the opening of “ASEAN Counter Corruption Youth Camp.
THANK YOU.

Mr. Panthep Klanarongran, NACC President,
Commissioners,
Prof. Dr. Chira Hongladarom,
Distinguished Guests,
Resource Persons,
Participants,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good Morning,
Today, I deem it a great honor to make this welcoming remark at the start of the “ASEAN Anti-Corruption Youth Camp” this morning. I welcome you as NACC Commissioner who takes care of Sanya Dharmasakti Anti-Corruption Institute (SDI). The NACC is the promoter and guardian of justice in Thailand with the main purpose of fighting against corruption. Our duty is to promote transparency and integrity, and to balance the twin elements of impartiality and fairness - a task we take with great responsibility, duty, and pride. On behalf of Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission and SDI, may I wish you all a very warm welcome, not only to Thailand but also to the opening of this Youth Camp. Many of you have traveled from afar, and come to share great ideas and experiences, all in the single purpose of fighting corruption.
Before going any further, I would like to express the NACC’s gratitude to Foundation for International Human Resource Development (FIHRD) who joins with Sanya Dharmasakti Anti-Corruption Institute (SDI) for providing the technical support to this project, and delegates from ASEAN countries, who are here to share their experience.
Across the region, there are already many examples of youth who have worked together to make a difference for their communities and countries. The former participants of the ship for Southeast Asia Youth Program are good examples. Many of them have been contacting and working together in organizing useful activities up to the present. For youth participants in this Youth Camp, you are young ambassadors of your countries. All of you will eventually be the ASEAN leaders of tomorrow. I believe you can be a positive force for change and make a difference in your countries and this region. From the very outset, I views this Youth Camp as the first of the series, as a foundation to be built upon in the future. I am certain that this Camp will not only provide participants with the opportunity to discuss and share ideas of mutual interest, but will also allow participants to interact with one another. Through such interactions, all participants will have new friends, gain fresh perspective as well as display commitment to closer cooperation to promote the anti-corruption efforts of the region in the years to come.
The corruption is the important problem that has effect on the whole society and country. It is dangerous not only for the human being but also young generation of our community and cause destruction of society. The new NACC Organic Act encompasses comprehensive revisions and additions add more “enforcement mechanisms” to the NACC’s anti-corruption mandate. Today, NACC is implementing many anti-corruption programs and projects so as to deploy those enforcement mechanisms. But this Camp is one of NACC’s flagship projects.
Over the next nine days I shall follow the Camp with great interest as all participants are going to share with each other their experiences. I also hope to learn much from the presentations to be given by resource persons who are academia and practitioner in the field of anti-corruption.
Ladies and gentlemen,
There is a great wealth of experience in the room here this morning. I would like to sincerely thank all delegates for travelling from your countries to be here – I feel that this is itself is a clear indication of the significance and importance of this event.
So without taking up any more of our valuable time it is my great pleasure that I wish you a fruitful gathering, as well as memorable, engaging and enjoyable experience over the next nine days, and also express the hope that you will find a little time to rest and enjoy your stay in this Land of Smiles.
Thank you for your kind attention and Sawasdee Krub.

International Conference on Corruption
Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, Nonthaburi
Wednesday 1st May 2013
Orientation & Learning Forum: ASEAN Ethic Role Model and Leadership Development
Prof. Dr. Chira Hongladarom
Secretary-General
Foundation for International Human Resource Development
Prof Chira welcomed all participants from ASEAN countries, and thanked NACC for its cooperation in hosting this Youth Camp. The objectives of this session are to discuss the work to be done together over the coming 9 days, and to exchange ideas among participants.
Prof Chira began with the 3 pillars of cooperation of ASEAN- economic, social/cultural, and security/politics. Because corruption undermines all three of these 3 pillars, it is vital that we address corruption in all its forms.
Whilst ASEAN is moving to facilitate the free flow of goods and services within the bloc, the cost of doing business remains high. These costs are further increased by widespread, deep-seated and systemic corruption, leading to weakening of national competitiveness in a global market. There is therefore a major need to improve ASEAN’s economic integration at global level.
Corruption also presents risks to national security. It is therefore imperative that the new generation in ASEAN member states should prioritize the fight against corruption by embracing a new ‘Anti-corruption culture’ with a spirit of transparency and honesty.
To accomplish this challenge, collaboration among the people of ASEAN in anti-corruption initiatives will be essential if we are to work, share and learn from one another. Anti-corruption is also a cross-disciplinary effort, requiring expertise in diverse domains. Despite the disparity in implementation of anti-corruption measures around Asia, Prof. Chira expressed the hope that participants in this 9-day Youth Camp would learn, share and reflect, and that ASEAN’s younger generation will be motivated to serve as Ambassadors to extend the anti-corruption message both in their own countries and around the world.
Prof Chira reminded participants that this Youth Camp will examine diverse beliefs, attitudes and approaches to anti-corruption policies and practices though the lens of “Ethical Capital”. Each country differs in attitudes to corruption according to the prevailing socio-cultural and economic contexts. Prof. Chira noted that in Thailand, money and wealth are the symbols of success, irrespective of how they were acquired. Yet ultimately, we will need to face the enormous conflict with prevailing materialist values across all ASEAN countries, promoted by the media and rewarded by society.
Dr Chira introduced the theories of “8K’s” and “5K’s in the context of building ethical capital, and emphasized the critical importance of nurturing ethical capital among youth in ASEAN. Whilst the ‘8K’s Theory’ identifies 8 categories of capital (human, intellectual, ethical, happiness, social, sustainability, digital and talented), the ‘5Ks Theory’ offers an alternative typology of human capital (Creativity, Knowledge, Innovation, Cultural and Emotional Capital).
Prof Chira emphasized the importance of instilling ethical norms and building ethical capital at an early age- at school and at University. ASEAN can become a role model in this regard.
How important is ethical capital? Peter Drucker said “If a person has 3 qualities: integrity, creativity and innovation, without integrity, creativity and innovation will be useless.”
However, promoting the notion of ethical capital in our highly competitive world will not be easy, but it will nevertheless be essential. How can we transform ourselves to develop a new culture of honesty and transparency, where people earn money based on ability and wisdom, not from corruption; and where the honest are honoured, and the corrupt subjected to social sanction?
After this Youth Camp, it will be important for participants to sustain the linkages built over the coming 9 days in order to develop shared anti-corruption initiatives at regional levels and beyond. Prof Chira concluded his presentation by encouraging participants in this Youth Camp to be inspired by the region’s cultural diversity; we need to foster the ASEAN spirit in order to lead the region on a long and difficult journey, and to share, learn, and work together with a passion to make it happen.
Following his presentation, Prof Chira introduced the Youth Camp programme and activities for the coming 9 days. He encouraged participants to approach the Youth Camp and activities with a 2Rs approach: ’Reality and Relevance’; to be guided by the ‘2I’s: Inspiration and Imagination’, and also to ensure that their ideas and initiatives add value.
Country representatives were then invited to speak from the podium, in regard to expectations from the Youth Camp.
1. Cambodia
· Thanks to Thailand for hosting this Youth Camp
· Inspired by the presentation of Prof Chira
· Family, school and society all have a role in directing and shaping moral values.
2. Indonesia
· Thanks to Thailand for hosting this important Youth Camp.
· Cultural differences are wide within, as well as among, ASEAN countries.
· Young people in Indonesia tend to have much more of a focus on transparency.
· We would like to see more cooperation rather than competition within ASEAN.
3. Lao PDR
· Thank you Prof Chira for an inspiring introduction.
· Lao PDR is a developing country- what are the main challenges in building ethical capital?
4. Malaysia
· We would like to extend our appreciation to NACC, FIHRD and Prof Chira.
· One initiative in Malaysia has been to set up anti-corruption secretariats within universities, in order to nurture the integrity of students.
· How can perceptions of corruption be changed?
5. Myanmar
· I am here because we believe in diversity for ethical capital development.
· In Myanmar the family is strong, and community-based values are developed at an early stage.
· We look forward to collaborating with others in the region in anti-corruption measures.
6. Philippines
· Is it necessary or desirable to define the term ‘corruption’? Definitions can limit the scope.
· Where do you draw the line in regard to social values? Is corruption subjective?
7. Singapore
· Judgment is a more important skill than knowledge.
· In Singapore, civic and moral education is taught as part of the school curriculum, aiming to instill moral values and the obligations of citizenship from an early age.
· With Singapore’s cultural and religious diversity, it is a major and important challenge to find common ground to approach anti-corruption, and we have a lot to learn from our counterparts in ASEAN.
· However, we ask whether the ASEAN policy of minimal intervention in each other’s domestic affairs might serve as an impediment to collaboration on anti-corruption measures.
8. Thailand
· Thanks for the inspiration.
· We have two questions- with 65% of poll respondents in Bangkok claiming they would accept corruption provided there is some benefit, how can we change that?
· How to encourage social sanctions against the corrupt?
9. Vietnam
· Vietnam is in a transitional stage, and money is the prime symbol of success in Vietnam today.
· Yet, ethical capital is being instilled through the school curriculum, but more is needed, especially at primary school level.
Anti – Corruption Watchdog
Mrs Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul
Chairperson, Toshiba (Thailand) Co., Ltd and founder of Anti-Corruption WATCHDOG.
Wednesday 1stMay 2013
Venue: Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, Nonthaburi.(Room:Nontaburi 1)
Mrs Kobkarn began by noting the energy and sense of unity in this Youth Camp. She also mentioned her other roles- in assisting the Thai Chamber of Commerce, and as a mother.
An opinion poll conducted in Thailand last year found that the young generation can accept corruption if there is some benefit to them. I don’t believe this poll. In defining corruption as taking advantage of your position to obtain unfair advantage, corruption is everywhere, and lies within all of us. IN fighting corruption, we must therefore start with ourselves.
The Anti- Corruption organization of Thailand (ACT) was set up with other partners to fight corruption within the private sector. (We will learn more about this in the visit to the Thai Chamber of Commerce on 8 May).
Unlike the public sector, we have no authority to prosecute, but we collaborate with NACC and publicize. The ACT Integrity Pact also serves to prevent private sector corruption. Promotion is also key- to inculcate an anti-corruption culture within youth and the general public.
If anyone would like to report corruption, they can report via the Watchdog website. Mrs Kobkarn is responsible for the Youth programme. She introduced the App “I Lert U” by D-Ambassador” as an alternative way of reporting corruption, and Arya Media Citizen as an arbitrator for disputes within universities.
In collaborating with NACC, ACT held a 1-day discussion “2020- Corruption-free Thai Youth”. By the year 2020, many of today’s youth will be in leadership positions. Four key activities were initiated:
· Set up an Anti-corruption network (Fan page)
· Communication on social media (Apps)
· Law and regulations. There are many gaps and loopholes that create opportunities for corruption, and citizens must know their civic rights.
· Start from ourselves (citizenship duty – family, schools, community). Anti-corruption is everyone’s duty. Are we the silent majority? (We disagree with corruption, but take no action).
With ASEAN opening up to the world, it is imperative that we dare to stand up and take action. If you love your country, you must act if ASEAN is to achieve long term sustainable growth.
In my own company, Toshiba, we have introduced the concept of ‘Suriyasat”, with the four core values of loyalty, fairness, the honor system and integrity. During the 2011 floods the whole company was under 3m of water for 45 days. Afterwards, we were able to recover the business very quickly because of these core values; the trust and honor built up meant that our dealers, employees and Toshiba (Japan) remained loyal to us and to each other.
Mrs Kobkarn also introduced the concept of the ‘Ethical Transcript’, which provides a record of personal contributions to society; Toshiba requests this from candidates to establish their level of social commitment.
Toshiba also has a code of conduct, in particular, regarding conflicts of interest (e.g. relating to side-businesses) and transparency. When Toshiba discovered that a billboard company was not paying correct taxes, it withdrew its advertising despite financial loss. This sent a very clear and uncompromising message to employees. Additionally, Toshiba follows the Japanese ‘Morning Speech’ tradition, which encourages a spirit of contributing to our country.
Many people turn bad because of personal debt. The temptation of easy credit is a trap that condemns many to debt. His Majesty the King has taught us to use only money that we have, according to the principles of the Sufficiency Economy. Toshiba has issued staff with a booklet “Triple Treat” to show income and expenses and encourage savings. This helps adjust our way of life and manage personal finance. Three aspects must be balances- community, business and environment. We ask our employees and dealers to engage in CSR activities such as tree-planting, and also encourage donations to charitable causes.
Our dealers are SMEs. We don’t believe that Modern Trade will displace small family businesses, and work through dealer development activities to sustain a strong network of traditional dealers, e.g. through taxpayer recognition awards and business financial management. Keeping your business legal allows you to maintain full control.
Mrs Kobkarn concluded by encouraging participants to believe in their individual and collective strength, join hands and create a stronger ASEAN with sustainable growth, and a more equitable distribution of wealth.

Combating Corruption Beyond Borders: Empowering ASEAN Youth In Anti-Corruption
Prof. Pakdee PothisiriCommissioner
National Anti-Corruption Commission
Prof Pakdee welcomed participants and expressed his pleasure at being able to discuss cross-border corruption. His presentation was divided into three parts:
· Part I: Understanding corruption in our globalized world- how corruption has transformed itself into an international borderless crime.
· Part II: Anti-corruption efforts at the International & ASEAN levels.
· Part III: Empowering the role of youth in anti-corruption.
To understand how corruption exploits the changing nature of trade and operates in an integrated globalized world, Prof Pakdee presented two hypothetical cases of domestic and international corruption schemes.
First, a well-respected “Not-so-clean” politician in Country A conspires with a local construction company owner to build a bridge to cross from one island to the country’s second island. He feels he deserves to be compensated a little extra for this idea that will shorten journey times and improve everyone’s lives. So, in collusion with his friend the contractor, he devises a plan to make the bid look fair and transparent, but takes a 10% cut.
How would this change in a globalized scenario?
With businessmen from Countries B and C entering the picture, the politician then awards the bid to the highest bidder, so he may take a bribe of as much as 30% rather than 10%. The bribe is typically transferred via complex, cross-border financial transactions, accumulating in numbered offshore accounts. Therefore, the real competition in the bid lies not in the offer price, but in the bribe price. This brings a loss to citizens, either in terms of value for taxpayer money, or in substandard quality of materials- or both of the above. For the politician, the risk of detection and prosecution is very low.
Prof Pakdee then presented a not-so-hypothetical case in Equatorial Guinea, West Africa. With a population of 680,000, the country was headed by President Teodoro Obiang since 1979. It is the fourth largest oil-producer in sub-Saharan Africa, and is the richest country per capita in Africa; its GDP-per-capita of over US$35,000 is on a par with Spain and Italy.
Despite its wealth, 70% of the population lives below the poverty line; half of the population has no access to clean drinking water or electricity, and 1 out of 5 children die before reaching the age of five.
The President did not even try to hide his wealth and lived an opulent lifestyle. Eventually, in 2011, the US brought an anti-kleptocracy action, filing a civil forfeiture case against Teodorin Obiang, first-born of President Theodoro Obiang. Teodorin was residing in the US at the time.
The anti-corruption suit seeks to seize, among other items:
• $30 m Malibu mansion
• $37 m Gulfstream jet
• $3 m Michael Jackson memorabilia
• $12 m fleet of 26 luxury cars
Also, it was discovered that Teodoirin planned to build a $380 million super-yacht; equivalent to 3 times the country’s budget for health and education combined.
Reality Check: How much corrupt money is moving around the world every year?
The World Bank estimates US$1.6 trillion of cross-border flow of money from criminal activities and tax evasion, and US$ 40 billion lost to bribes and misappropriation of funds in developing countries. However, losses are not only direct financial losses, but also include loss of trust in public institutions.
Corruption levels are estimated most authoritatively by the Corruption Perception Index, introduced by Transparency International (www.transparency.org) in 1995. CPI ranks countries on an annual basis by their perceived levels of corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys. As of 2012, the CPI ranks countries on a scale from 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt).
In 2012 CPI found that two-thirds of the 176 countries ranked in the 2012 Index score below 50; New Zealand, Denmark and Finland ranked top; and Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia share last place with a score of only 8 out of 100. The highest levels of corruption were in countries plagued by conflict; corruption does not only fuel conflict- it makes them even harder to stop.
How do ASEAN countries measure up? With Singapore scoring 87 and Brunei 55, the remaining countries all scored less than 50 out of 100, indicating a serious corruption problem across the region.
Moving to the second part of his presentation, Prof Pakdee gave an overview of anti-corruption cooperation at international & ASEAN levels. The two key international instruments in fighting corruption are as follows:
1) The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), which came into force on 14 December 2005, it is the first legally binding international anti-corruption instrument. It currently has 165 State Parties, including all 10 ASEAN countries; and
2) Organization of Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD) Anti-Bribery Convention. This came into force on 15 February 1999, aiming to address the supply side of corruption (the bribe giver) by criminalizing bribery of foreign public officials in international business transactions. It currently has 40 member countries. Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia now have observer status to this convention.
The advantages of being a State Party to international anti-corruption conventions are many, First, they improve the image and reputation of a party country by affirming a country’s commitment to tackle corruption, and facilitate enhanced international cooperation, which is an effective mechanism in fighting corruption, now a transnational crime.
International instruments also provide clear direction for legislative amendments to ensure that national legal frameworks conform to international standards, and provide mechanisms for receiving technical assistance to improve legislation and capacity building.
In regard to anti-corruption cooperation in the South East-Asian region, Southeast Asia Pacific Anti-Corruption (SEAPAC) was established as an informal network of the anti-corruption agencies of 9 countries in the ASEAN region. SEAPAC meets twice a year to share progress of anti-corruption efforts and exchange relevant experience and know-how. Myanmar has expressed its intention to join the group at the end of this year.
With major infrastructural projects driven by integration in the ASEAN Region, there is a major need to address these corruption risks:
· ASEAN Economic Community in 2015 – a single market and production base to allow the free movement of goods, services, investment, capital and labor throughout the 10-member South-East Asian region
· ASEAN’s long-term flagship projects for integrating the region’s infrastructure: the ASEAN Power Grid, the Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline, the ASEAN Highway Network and the Singapore-Kunming Rail Link Projects.
In order to address this challenge, it will be necessary to harness the power of all sectors- public, private and civil society. Civil society in particular is a powerful force in monitoring and exposing corruption, and in demanding transparency and accountability.
In the third and final part of his presentation, Prof Pakdee addressed the role of youth in fighting corruption. Today, youth & children comprise 40% of the world’s population, and the proportion is much higher for developing countries.
Prof Pakdee illustrated the potential of youth using several case studies:
(1) Youth in Solidarity (India)
In 2011 the majority of the supporters of the mass anti-corruption movement was led by social activist Anna Hazare were youth, particularly university students tired of the endemic corruption problem in their country.
(2) Global Youth Anti-Corruption Network (GYAC)
Supported by World Bank Institute, GYAC is a growing global network of young leaders, journalists, artists, and experts on IT from civil society all over the world. GYAC supports its members by connecting through www.voices-against-corruption.org.
GYAC raises awareness of corrupt practices in their respective communities
using music to spread anti-corruption messages to all youth around the world
(http://anticorruptionmusic.org). GYAC also offers young journalists a platform to write about governance and corruption-related issues.
RAISING THE VOICES OF THE YOUTH at the International Stage, GYAC participated in the 14th International Anti-Corruption Conference in Bangkok, Thailand from 10-13 November, 2010.
GYAC members produced a Bangkok Declaration of Young People, which among other things, asserted the right of youth to participate in fight against corruption.
GYAC also joined the 15th International Anti-Corruption Conference, Brasilia, Brazil, from 7-10 November, 2012. GYAC members held their annual forum in conjunction with the IACC, and also organized and ran their own workshop sessions on the topic of youth empowerment. Live coverage of the conference was provided through blogs, online reporting and social media.
(3) Thai Youth Anti-Corruption Network
Thai young people say no to corruption! “I realized the problem of corruption- there is a lot of it in Thailand, but I didn’t know what I could do" (Sayuti Salam, undergraduate student and President of the Thai Youth Anti-Corruption Network). The network has a membership of 1,600 students from 90 universities, and recently 1,500 young people commemorated International Anti-Corruption Day by organizing a high-profile arts exhibition. The network has a strong and growing online community.
In conclusion, Prof. Pakdee offered four concrete suggestions for young people to contribute in a concrete way to fighting corruption on a practical level, as follows:
1) DON’T participate in or condone corruption;
2) Join an anti-corruption network(s) and participate in their activities (e.g. GYAC, local youth network);
3) Spread the anti-corruption message in your community (sharing anti-corruption news articles on your social network);
4) Engage your friends to find creative ways to raise awareness of the dangers of corruption (activities to commemorate International Anti-Corruption Day (9th December) and International Youth Day on 12th August.

Ethical Capital and youth in ASEAN
Professor Vicha Mahakun
Commissioner, NACC
Ethical capital is emerging as an important parameter in all ASEAN countries as a measure of the preparedness of a country to combat corruption.
Several major ASEAN members of SEAPAC cooperate under a MOU on preventing and combating corruption. SEAPAC members work jointly on transnational corruption cases.
The term ‘ethics’ is merely another word for ‘righteousness’. Ethics represent a vital component of human capital development, to build sustainable communities and states. Personal integrity is a key requirement that complements professional knowledge. Moreover, prudence is the exercise of good judgment, wisdom, moderation and fairness in using knowledge to benefit people.
Ethics presupposes the existence of morality, and is based on several principles (Integrity, Objectivity, Professional Competence, Confidentiality, Professional Behaviour).
Ensuring ethical conduct in our personal and professional lives will help us restore our mental and emotional poise, leaving us calm and peaceful. The best way to protect youth and society is to instill ethical conduct in all aspects of their lives.
Kh Vicha introduced the key objectives of this Youth Camp:
1. To open minds and release from the stresses and tensions of daily life; and foster a sense of readiness, sacrifice and power to fight corruption at the workplace, school, university or company.
2. To build an understanding among young people on how to profit from ethics in daily life.
He concluded with two inspirational quotes:
To grow the tree, we must prepare the land.
To eat, we must prepare the meal.
To develop, we must prepare the human being.
But we must develop ourselves before the others.
“Strong people stand up for themselves, but the strongest stand up for others”.

Distinguished Guests,
Prof. Dr. Chira Hongladarom,
Participants,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good evening,
I am delighted to be here this evening to welcome you to this ASEAN Anti-Corruption Youth Camp Reception.
This Youth Camp provides a platform for youth across Southeast Asia to learn about each other’s countries and cultures, as well as to be ambassadors of their own countries. It has taught participants about nature of corruption, anti-corruption tools, and organizing anti-corruption activities.
I sincerely hope that the knowledge and experience from the Youth Camp have been a reward and benefit to all participants, and that it may encourage some of you to return to Thailand whether to study, to work here or just to visit your friends. When the Youth Camp has come to an end, I hope that you will continue to nurture the friendship that you have built with your fellow participants, and that you will take time to reflect on what you have learnt.
On this note, I wish a very successful implementation of this Youth Camp and a close cooperation of ASEAN countries.
Thank you for your kind attention and Sawasdee Krub.

Dear Sir/Madamm,
For this opening ceremony I could learned lots of new things that I never met before and I could caught up a good lesson from all professors. One word that I really interested the most is "Ethical Capital." It is really important to put anti corruption to the education system. It can teach children to know to the bad point of corruption and make they willing to prevent the corruption. Moreover, ethic can teach children to be a good person and have moral in their mind.
Warm Regard,
Sokrithy Prum

Youth in ASEAN and "Mind Management"
By Phra Maha Wudhijaya Vajiramedhi (Interviewed)
Good Morning, all delegates of ASEAN Anti-Corruption Youth Camp.
Corruption is the most serious danger for Thai society and all countries especially developing countries.
Corruption is a very dangerous problem. It is like the social cancer.
You are important anti-corruption force because today you are youth but, in the future, you will be adult who will take parts in define the destiny of the country and the society in the future.
Therefore, all of you must learn how bad corruption in your countries is.
In Thai society, we discover that corruption is a cancer which seriously attacks Thai society and is a great concern.
All of you can participate in anti-corruption activities.
In the history, an important anti-corruption leader of the world had opportunities, power and wealth but all of them could not lure him to be a slave.
On the day he passed away, he left only 3 legacies for the world.
1. The Bhagavad Gita
2. A glass of goat milk
3. A bead necklace
The world’s famous person with great political power had only these properties on the day he passed away.
This person is Mahatma Gandhi.
Mahatma Gandhi is the anti-corruption role model by his life.
His concept is the person of truth. He can insist on truth the whole life.
When he was young, every morning, he hadbreakfast with his mother
Before he had breakfast, a raven crowed.
One day, a raven did not crow so he crowed like the raven.
When his mother heard him crowed like the raven, she came out to have breakfast.
His mother knew that he lied.
While she was having breakfast, she called him to sit nearer and asked whether he crowed as the raven.
He said yes.
His mother told him to get nearer.
Instead of feeding him, his mother slapped at his face.
Then, his mouth was full of blood.
He asked his mother why she slapped at his face.
She said “Remember, my beloved son. I am pleased to starve to death instead of allowing you to be a liar. ”
The lesson learnt from this case developed him to be Mahatma Gandhi, the world’s famous politician who applied honesty and transparency as his whole life’s disciplines.
He took these disciplines to be his Satyagraha policy or Insistence on Truth Policy.
He regarded that honesty, sincerity, trustworthiness, and transparency as his god.
He said “Truth is god”.
He is the world anti-corruption role model.
He started with his small lesson learnt from his mother.
If all of you apply ethics, trustworthiness and truth insistence, in the future, we will become the adults with stable ethics like Mahatma Gandhi and the social leaders.
Small people like us can also be a part of social change.
In every countries tries intensively to solve corruption problem”.
It becomes the issue of tight law regulation reinforcement.
However, tight laws and reserve punishment seem to worsen the situation.
We may enforcement is an indirect remedy as corruption problem
is to be solve from bother inside and outside (personal and society)
Integrated solving from both directions, it would need acceptance towards anti-corruption concept in the society.
Once, majority does not go against corruption, Law becomes useless. On the contrary,if majority does not enjoy corruption,
The law would still be sanctified.
However, whenever corruption is accepted ,the habit of such practice would continue. Therefore, social norm on anti-corruption perception must be established. As well as, laws regulations, must be updated to evolve along ever changing nature of corruption.
Individually mind management must be kept in mind.
Such management would control our minds not to be the slave of greed, hunger etc.
If we have poor mind management, we would corrupt every time we have achance regardless to law enforcement.
The main anti corruption scheme for individual, is building super subconscious to trust that corruption is booby trap , and we always build one own trap, we are hurting others ,our society.
We must tell ourself that the stronger can beat the weaker and the real stronger is the one who has chances to corrupt but refuses to go along with the idea.
Those who can control their conciious by stand
Strong against incentive would understand and
Perceive mind management .Hence all of you must stand up to manage your minds to be away from any reward or interest, Make yourself
I realized that any success with wrongful ways must be rejected.
And only welcome all success with the rightful ways.
All of you have to make sure that one day if you have a chance to corrupt, you have to refuse to do it.
This is called mind management, in short, mind management as ethical capital is placed above your desire.
All of you are able to build up yourself-ethical capital in accordance to ever-changing society as what Baruk Obama once said “change”
Therefore, only positive mind you have can change the whole society to be corruption free.
An obstacle for our mind management is the lack of continuous control of our mind.
Normally, if we do not train our minds, they will be aroused to act based on bad external influences.
For example, when the greed occurs, we are under its influence. When the anger occurs, we are under its influence. When the dullness occurs, we are under its influence.
We can learn to win over the greed, the anger and the dullness by carefully monitoring them whenever they occur in our minds. One day, we can be the controller of the greed, the anger and the dullness in our minds.
The main approach to control our mind is meditation.
When you feel that you are going to do bad things, try to close your eyes and monitor your deep breath both inhale and exhale.
When you mind get calmer, ask yourself if what you are going to do will make you happy or sad in the future.
Set up your mind. If it is a good thing which helps you get praised in the future, you should do it.
If you close your eyes, ask yourself and feel that it will lead to future disaster, you should not do it.
This is a criterion for judging good or bad thing.
Whenever you are attracted to corruption cycle, close your eyes, quietly monitor their breath, and clearly ask yourself, you will know the right answer.
You must do the right thing today. If you do the right thing today, you will not be wrong tomorrow.
If you choose bad things today, you will be still wrong tomorrow.
Therefore, you should learn to monitor your minds every time you are challenged.
If we can control our minds, we can always lead ourselves to the right side.
Whenever we cannot control our minds, we will be the slave of the greed, the anger and the dullness. This is the start of the disaster of our lives.
Therefore, our ethical capital is like the gold mine of potential to change ourselves, societies, and countries.
We should not look down on ourselves. We can identify the destiny of our countries.

Activity 3: Think out of the box to build idea for create anti-corruption moral and ethics with PPCO
The program on the 2nd day of camping I really interested. First of all, I could know more about mind management. Mind management help us lots and it tough us to be calm as what Buddhism tough us too. What we thought will become a real thing in one day, so we need to think everything in good way. It also can pointed us to live in peaceful life beside the life with full of anger. Next, is about white ocean strategy. If everybody can do as what white ocean mean, we will live in a good life and full of development. It also showed us the way to knew ourselves, what our heart want, and what is our talent is. When we do something with satisfy, we will get a fruitful as a result. The last point, to against corruption it is not only the government, we also a part of it too. When everybody know and try to prevent the corruption together, the corruption will cut down day by day.
I really enjoyed and interested with the study visited at Houy Sei Royal Development Study Center. We could not believe that Thai's king can change one area that have land which dry and look like stone to please full of green plantation. The strategy that he used is really interested and other countries should come and learn from that center. The natural cannot kill people, but it is human who destroys natural that they cannot survive without natural.
Comments and How to Apply in Our World (Young World)
First Day
.VTR (Knowing NACC)
We as Delegation form all of ASEAN Countries was invited by NACC to join ASEAN Youth Camp : Anti – Corruption. We really enjoy the first day on Bangkok, Thailand. We met each other in the big room and we so pleased by the committee because we sat as our country table and we loked like prime minister that time. Mr. Panthep Klanarongan and Professor Vicha Mahakun explained us about National Anti Corruption Commission and influence us to share knowledge about prevent corruption form each country. So, it is our time to share and build our ASEAN to clean from Corruption Together.
.Orientation and Learning Forum “ASEAN Ethic Role Model and Leadership Development”
At the Camp, not all of us are study about Anti – Corruption but it’s all of our duty to involve in anti – corruption. So Mr. Prof. Dr. Chira Hongladarom as The Secretary General in Foundation for International human Resource development or (FIHRD) make us to realize about the importance prevent Corruption by having a general or capital ethic and he told us the little step to prevent corruption is by doing little things in right ways, example like not take our friends mineral on the table without ask their permit. His quote to us is Success is a journey not a destination.
.ASEAN Anti – Corruption and Role of ASEAN Youth
ASEAN consist of 10 Countries, there are Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The first lecture, Mr prof. Pakdee Pothisiri as the commissioner of NACC explain us about the definition about Corruption and the base ethic. He persuade us about the importance of having youth movement about anti – corruption because in the future the one the have power to regulated government or in private sectors are youth. So we as the youth, try to being that good person that have good ethic by being focused on Lecture.
.Ethical Capital and Youth ASEAN
after we already know about why its important to prevent corruption and the youth of ASEAN take really big role to do anti – corruption. now we, getting know about the ethic it self because in many countries we have different culture and ethics. She told us to being an open minded person and try to see the connection from each other culture not to find the difference so we can have a peaceful ASEAN by being have the same mind as other countries in ASEAN about ethic.
Second day
.Youth in ASEAN and “Mind Management
Mind management is presented by PhraMaha Wudhijaya Vajira medhi. Before we listen to mind management we feel like mind management is concerning with the religion. But when we listen to the presentation we need to start from within of mind. Reaction of us is really important, so before we doing anything, we need to think carefully. On this lesson they tough us to think everything in good way because what we think will lead us to it. So the one thing we can apply in our real life is one something happened to ourselves we need to control it. That is a great way to find ourselves.
.White Ocean Strategy and Role of ASEAN Youth
In our globalization, capitalism and consumerization world we have Red Ocean Strategy and Blue Occean Strategy , but today Mr.Danai Chanchaochai is presenting the new innovation. This is “White Ocean Strategy”. The main concept is making market space irrelevant, so that everybody can win together, because nowadays the most important property in business is “speed of trust”. Therefore the enterprise must have integrity and ethics. At least, start with yourself first.
360 Degree Analysis of Preventing Corruption
The forum itself is a great concept whereby the speakers manage to catch the attention of the listeners to focus during the session. The topic is a very interesting to topic in giving education and made us realize many things. We can now understand about leadership and ways of reaching to the society. We would learn how to become a leader ourselves with the purpose of instilling and spreading integrity in the society back in our country. We would do this continuously so that society will realize our fight is a serious fight in combating corruption which has caused nothing rather than miseries to everyone.
Third Day
Creative Thinking for ASEAN Youth Ethics
This session by Mr Sarun Chantapalaboon focuses on the introduction of the creative thinking and how it can allow us to think out of the box when considering methods and measures that we encounter, especially in the anti-corruption context. This session started first with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to allow us to better understand our personality and how we can in turn how we can better exercise our creative juices. We then learn about the PPCO model that allowed us to consider a measure – Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT model). We think that this theories and concepts is really useful both in our real lives as well as for the purposes of this camp as we will see when considering the sharing sessions by MACC, NACC, CPIB and ACU.
Effective Teamwork for ASEAN Youth
Assoc. Prof Chaleampol introduced us to the concepts of Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ), Moral Quotient (MQ), Survival Quotient (SQ). These quotients will help us to put issues and problems encountered into perspective and come up with our conclusions and actions to be taken. The task to visit Mrigadayavan under the guidance of Prof Chaleampol and together with our facilitator, Mr Bic, also reinforced our understanding of “white ocean” in that everyone can win. The activities at the beach also highlighted the main concept of democracy whereby the people repose trust and confidence in the chosen leader. The chosen leader then represents their groups in meetings with other leaders and can make decisions based on the factual situation at hand instead of how the group might perceive to be best for them. These different methods of evaluation situation as well as understanding of the workings of democracy also contributes to the palette of ideas in our daily lives as well as in this camp for our innovative project on combating corruption.
Fourth Day
Study Visit: Huay Sai Royal Development Study Center, Cha-Am, Petchburi
This study visit while mainly focusing on making barren land fertile again, agriculture as well as prevention of soil erosion, helps exemplify an important point on how King Bhumibhol loves his people and how a leader’s actions can have a very positive social impact on the people of Thailand. We concluded that we could indeed learn a lot from His Majesty to kick-start a project and to continually improve on it. I think this gives us a number of food for thoughts as well as inspire us as future leaders of ASEAN.
Fifth Day
Networking Capital Development for Anti-Corruption in ASEAN
This session consist of a talk by Assoc. Prof Juree Vichit-vadakan help introduce us to the concept of networking for the sake of achieving a social cause. The key take-aways from the talk by Prof Juree is how networking has evolved through the times and how we can leverage a lot on technological advances and at the same time be mindful of its shortcomings. Our workshop question on networking also exposed us to the idea of active networking as well as networking while at the same time take into consideration culture as well as technology. One important point which came out only upon further consultation with Prof Juree is that networking needs to be critical as well. One should not network loosely without being critical of the group of people and network that one is looking to be a part of.
Madam Fariza also did an introduction to the MACC and elaborates on how the MACC combat corruption in Malaysia. The key points of this sharing include the interaction of MACC with the private sector as well as the outreach efforts. In terms of private sector measures, it includes Corporate Integrity Pledge as well as Integrity Pact. In terms of outreach, we learned about the Corruption Prevent Secretariat. We feel that this session is helpful and it represents our first forage into considering the measures undertaken by the different ASEAN countries.
ASEAN Community and its impact to Anti-Corruption aspect
This session by Assoc. Prof Somchai Pakapaswiwat is highly technical and content based and yet at the same time very important in drawing the link between the ASEAN Economic Community 2015 and corruption. The liberalization that will allow free movement of goods and services as well as the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement is an important aspect of the AEC 2015 and also one of the main reasons why combating corruption is imperative. The potential increase of connectivity might allow corruption culture to spread as the people moves from one country to one country along with business opportunities. The possible expansion of ASEAN to ASEAN+6 also represents unprecedented development of an economic union, however possible shortcomings highlighted include areas of the rule of origin, dispute resolution within ASEAN countries apart from ICSID Investor-State Dispute Resolution, MFN & NT standards to afford to other countries to avoid falling foul of WTO regulations. This will also form the main basis for us when considering trans-border corruption.
Group Study: Innovative Project’s Presentation Preparation
We were introduced to the requirements of our project proper in this session as well learn some basic proposal creation skills as well as presentation skills in this session. We completed our proposal draft 1 and will be refining it in the days to come. Our main question is on the creation and spreading of an ASEAN culture to combat corruption. We decided to achieve this through an ASEAN festival targeted at youths.
Sixth Day
Leadership for ASEAN Youth
The 2 guest speakers for today are Prof Kririt Boonyakiat and Dr Sirilak Meksang and moderated by Prof Chira Hongladarom. I think the key take away from us for us from the talk is basically the different leadership concepts as follows 1) Peter Drucker (Leadership concepts from Management Guru through motivation from within and ability to contribute) 2) Confucianism (Leadership through virtue and actions) 3) Leadership to foster learning environment to develop others ; as well as 4) University of Washington leadership concepts on ethical capital, processes and trust. As for the workshop portion, reviewing the concepts and their individual characteristics allowed us to better internalize them and apply them in our daily lives. Our group realized that we have been subconsciously exercising these concepts as we took on leadership roles but internalizing these concepts allowed us to better identify instances when we are using these concepts and better develop our leadership skills.
Learning from Corruption Case Studies in ASEAN
This segment consists of sharing by NACC, CPIB and ACU, moderated by Prof. Chira Hongladarom. From the sharing sessions today as well as reflecting on the sharing done by Madam Fariza from MACC the previous day allowed us to come up with certain points. Firstly, we realize that the main anti-corruption organizations of the 4 countries is rather similar in having an investigative branch, a branch focusing on international cooperation as well as an education and outreach branch. We think this is extremely useful and could allow opportunities for greater cooperation in considering ASEAN Economic Community 2015. Secondly, we realized that one aspect that comes out strongly be in the prosecution of politicians, ministers, judges as well as private sector economic actors is that the punishment is often insufficient and tougher stances against corruption in the forms of stiffer penalties might have a deterrence impact. The sharing by Assoc. Prof Sirilaksana Khoman, Mr Wilson Khoo and Mr Bora Nhem also highlighted a crucial point in the form of educating the public on areas such as conflicts of interest and that sometimes a good intention to help friends could still operate as corruption such as disclosing exam questions to friends.
ASEAN Learning Activity (City Tour)
We ended our abilities earlier and managed to get a chance to tour the Bangkok city proper. We took the BTS to Saphan Taksin Station and then took Chao Phraya Express boat to Tha Tien pier to visit Wat Po temple and walk to Thammasat University. We got a chance to tour Thammasat University Faculty of Economics and Political Sciences by our Thailand guides, Tor, Palm, Porsche, Pung and Oley. We also walk along Khao San street and one important takeaway is that as we walk along the streets of Thailand is that how much we much we do not understand about the Thai culture. Through interacting with the guides as well as experiencing it first hand, we felt that we learn more about the Thai culture which as we agreed in this camp is an essential element in creating an anti-corruption culture. We also had great fun eating and chatting along the ways which strengthen our friendships, which is one of the objectives of this camp.

Networking Capital Development for Anti – Corruption in ASEAN
09:00-12:00 Panel Discussion: Case Study of Anti- Corruption from Malaysia
Panelists:
Ms Fariza Omar (Superintendent, Community Education Division, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, MACC)
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Juree Vichit-Vadakan (Secretary General, Transparency International)
Moderated by Prof. Dr. Chira Hongladarom
Ms Fariza began her presentation with an overview of the MACC. MACC was established in 1967 with an anti-corruption mandate covering both public and private sectors, in accordance with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009.
The MACC Act 2009 also empowers and authorizes the MACC to investigate offences under other Acts listed as "Prescribed Offences” under the Act, which came into force on 1 January 2009.
MACC has 14 Divisions with 20 branches throughout the country. In order to ensure that MACC operates under the principles of independency, transparency and professionalism, MACC is monitored by 5 separate panels, providing an effective ‘Checks and Balances’ mechanism. MACC submits an annual report to Parliament, but is an independent body. Where MACC’s investigations find sufficient evidence of wrongdoing, the case is forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General for prosecution.
In addition to enforcement operations, capacity building is also important. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy was set up to train officers from Malaysia and abroad and was officially opened in 2007. The Academy is today recognized as ASEAN’s leading anti-corruption training facility. International cooperation was established through training courses conducted jointly with agencies including Interpol Group of Experts on Corruption, ADB-OECD Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia-Pacific, UK Government, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and others.
MACC’s three key strategies are enforcement, education and prevention. In addition, the agency serves to detect loopholes and weaknesses in current legislation and offers advice on how to rectify them.
Globalization of corruption necessitates a stronger focus on international cooperation to fight corruption; MACC has therefore broadened its cooperation at bilateral and multilateral levels, through MOUs with groups such as the Interpol Group of Experts on Corruption (www.interpol.int), the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (www.iaaca.org), and the Asia-Pacific Group on money laundering (www.apgml.org).
Malaysia ratified the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) on 24 September 2008, and a national Anti-Corruption Framework (NKRA) was established in 2009.
MACC has made progress in s stamping out corruption in government procurement by establishing the Integrity Pact in Government Procurement in 2010, setting up a ‘Name and Shame’ database. Other advances include the Whistleblower Protection Act (2010) and the establishment of special courts for hearing of corruption cases.
Ms Fariza continued with a discussion of anti-corruption initiatives relevant to the public and private sectors. The CORPORATE INTEGRITY PLEDGE (CIP) was developed as a document that allows a company to make a commitment to uphold the Anti-Corruption Principles for Corporations in Malaysia. MACC is the custodian for CIP. Partner agencuies include the Malaysia Integrity Institute, Transparency International (Malaysia) and others.
By signing the pledge, a company is making a unilateral declaration that it:-
- will not commit corrupt acts;
- will work towards creating a business environment that is free from corruption; and
- will uphold the anti-corruption principles for corporations in Malaysia in the conduct of its business and in its interactions with its business partners
By signing up, a company makes a clear stand of how it operates, and this will be locked down in writing. A company can use this Pledge to differentiate itself apart from its peers by demonstrating to its stakeholders.
The CIP espouses 5 anti-corruption principles, as follows:
1. Commit to promote the values of integrity, transparency and good governance
2. Strengthen internal systems that support corruption prevention
3. Comply with laws, policies and procedures relating to fighting corruption
4. Fight any forms of corrupt practices
5. Support corruption initiatives by the Malaysian government and MACC.
The Integrity Pact (IP) was originally developed by Transparency International (TI) to fight corruption in public procurement. Parties to the IP agree to abstain from bribes or collusion, and disclose all commissions paid. Sanctions (e.g. loss of contract, forfeiture of performance bond, blacklisting for future contract) will apply in the case of non-compliance.
The IP is defined as “An agreement between the government, or a government department (the authority, the project owner) and all bidders for a public sector contract”. Its purpose is to discourage bidders from offering or giving bribes, encourage reporting of corrupt acts, and to ensure that ‘unnecessary costs’ are not incurred to the Government.
Looking forward, Ms Fariza pointed to the need to rectify several weaknesses related to corporate liability in corruption cases. Current law provides for punishment of individuals only, even when company officers commit bribes on the instructions of the CEO or members of the board of directors. Legal amendment is needed to insert a provision for corporate liability in order to punish companies as well as individuals.
Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance issued the Integrity Pact directive on 1st April 2010, comprising the following:
1. Official invitation to participate in tender/quotations
2. Declaration of abstention from bribery – by all parties, at all stages of contracting (including registering as a supplier/firms)
3. Formulation of Code of Conduct
4. Contractual provision to abstain from bribery.
The objectives of the Integrity Pact were listed as follows:
1. Introduce programs to create awareness on the offences of corruption and bribery.
2. Promote awareness on offences of corruption and bribery in collaboration with the MACC.
3. Introduce compliance programs in respect of the relevant code of conduct in the execution of project.
4. Establish an independent monitoring system.
5. Impress the importance of disclosure of interest and/or conflict of interest among the Parties’ top management.
6. Place procedures on prevention of corrupt practices.
Parties to the IP commit that they and/or their respective employees and agents have not and shall not offer or give bribes in the execution of the Project. Moreover, for the purpose of transparency, the Parties shall disclose to each other any payments that has been made, is being made and intended to be made to agents, brokers or any other intermediaries in connection with the execution of the Project. The Parties also agree that in the event of the Parties’ employees or agents attempting to seek a bribe or be involved in corrupt practices in the execution of the Project, the Parties will promptly report the said action to the responsible authorities.
In the event that the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) through its employees or agents attempt to seek a bribe or be involved in corrupt practices in the execution of the Project, the PDP is also liable to be terminated under the PDP Agreement. However, strict proof before a court of law is required before such sanction can be applied.
Monitoring Of Mega Projects
Any project valued above RM500 million is considered as a ‘Mega Project’. MACC has been appointed as member of the Klang Valley MRT Project Executive Committee, headed by Chief Secretary to the Government. The project involves construction of a public rail transport network which, together with the existing light rail transit (LRT), monorail, KTM Komuter, KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit systems, form the backbone of the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley region.
In regard to the role of youth, the concept of the Corruption Prevention Secretariat was defined, with the following objectives:
Since its launch in January 2013, to date, 47 CPS have been established, with 20 located on university campuses, and a further 27 at teacher education institutions. The CPS perform the following functions:
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Juree Vichit-vadakan
Secretary General, Transparency International
Prof. Dr. Juree spoke on the theme of ‘Networking to fight corruption’.
The most important and influential of our personal networks is the family/ kinship network. These shape our ethical values and moral compass from an early age. Later, these relationships are extended further to the community, or tribal levels, nurturing within group members a sense of trust, reciprocity and goodwill.
As civilization evolved, in the ‘modern mode’, other forms of network emerged, e.g. shared occupations or guilds. These guild networks provided governance systems and a type of professional code of conduct, i.e. a ‘level playing field’. Today such networks are highly evolved and perform vital social as well as professional functions.
Reflecting on the strong influence of the seniority principle in Southeast Asian societies, Dr Juree noted that seniority does not always equate to age, but may also be denoted by position, status, power or prestige. These influences still operate even in a modern social context. With increasing mobility of populations, kinship and other linkages are disrupted, and new forms of affiliation emerge, e.g. among migrant labour groups. We see then the formation of new groupings and the ‘recreation’ of kin principles, e.g. through referring to each other using the pronoun ‘Big Brother’ or ‘Little sister’ etc...
The ICT revolution has changed life dramatically over the past 15-20 years, changing our modes of communication as well as how we acquire knowledge. Networking has been depersonalized; we communicate with people we have never met- not just for work, but also for pleasure. The distinction between work and play has blurred, and democratized many kinds of social interaction. The advent of self-publication (e.g. through web services such as Facebook, YouTube and blogging) have led to empowerment of small individuals in society.
Networking used to be vertical (linkages were narrowly defined and top-down in their nature). Today’s linkages are very different: they are horizontal (and therefore without limit), and cross all class boundaries. They offer huge potential as platforms for mutual assistance, e.g. through blogs and for shared special interest groups, discussions and connecting people with shared visions.
The downside of such a mode is that it is faceless and nameless, and the innocent can easily be exploited. So we need to develop new defences, and take new kinds of precautions to replace those that are innate in face-to-face interactions.
So how can networks help in combating corruption? There are many existing advocacy networks, such as anti-dam networks, networks against people trafficking, that are highly effective in mobilizing resources and bringing pressure to bear on governments, for example to establish stronger prevention measures and international agreements to protect women and children from international trafficking and exploitation.
Perhaps the strongest networks have been established by environmental advocacy groups. Transparency International’s anti-corruption network is also a well-established and effective global network.
Networks suffer from several drawbacks; participation is voluntary and requires significant and constant commitment to succeed, as well as financial resources. This helps explain why networks vary so greatly in their effectiveness. Moreover, because there may be no editorial oversight, verification of content is difficult, and ethics are sometimes blurred to serve the purpose of the network. Network members need to be especially careful to exhibit ethical responsibility, and be mindful that the information they post is disseminated globally and may lead to unexpected consequences.
Young people wishing to establish a network need to gain support from a diversity of actors- teachers, friends, donors, media, and government agencies (provided such support will not compromise your principles). With this caveat, it is generally good to be as inclusive as you can.
The power of the network comes from this inclusiveness and also, from a high level of tolerance of different opinions. It is important to note that in Asia we are used to authoritarian views were there is a very low tolerance to difference or dissent of any kind. It will be important at all levels of society that we learn how to tolerate diverse opinions. (The USA is powerful in part because of its integration and assimilation of immigrants, who inject a flow of vitality, energy and creativity into society and economic life.
Having reached out already to all the core members (family, friends, and key players) how do we go beyond this to expand an existing network? Networks need to reach out to others who are talented and who may empathize with its values, objectives and modus operandi. Who are they? How can we attract them? One effective approach is to tap into other networks that resonate with your cause, or with aspects of it. For example, we may build links and alignments with other networks by using other specialized networks to provide services, e.g. identifying resource persons, designing strategies, communication media and fund mobilization initiatives.
Finally, in every accomplishment of your network, remember that credit needs to be shared in order to sustain interest, motivation and support. Every member is a stakeholder

At the Camp, not all of us are study about Anti – Corruption but it’s all of our duty to involve in anti – corruption. So Mr. Prof. Dr. Chira Hongladarom as The Secretary General in Foundation for International human Resource development or (FIHRD) make us to realize about the importance prevent Corruption by having a general or capital ethic and he told us the little step to prevent corruption is by doing little things in right ways, example like not take our friends mineral on the table without ask their permit. His quote to us is Success is a journey not a destination.

ASEAN consist of 10 Countries, there are Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The first lecture, Mr prof. Pakdee Pothisiri as the commissioner of NACC explain us about the definition about Corruption and the base ethic.

Second day
.Youth in ASEAN and “Mind Management
Mind management is presented by PhraMaha Wudhijaya Vajira medhi. Before we listen to mind management we feel like mind management is concerning with the religion. But when we listen to the presentation we need to start from within of mind. Reaction of us is really important, so before we doing anything, we need to think carefully. On this lesson they tough us to think everything in good way because what we think will lead us to it. So the one thing we can apply in our real life is one something happened to ourselves we need to control it. That is a great way to find ourselves.
.White Ocean Strategy and Role of ASEAN Youth
In our globalization, capitalism and consumerization world we have Red Ocean Strategy and Blue Occean Strategy , but today Mr.Danai Chanchaochai is presenting the new innovation. This is “White Ocean Strategy”. The main concept is making market space irrelevant, so that everybody can win together, because nowadays the most important property in business is “speed of trust”. Therefore the enterprise must have integrity and ethics. At least, start with yourself first.
360 Degree Analysis of Preventing Corruption
The forum itself is a great concept whereby the speakers manage to catch the attention of the listeners to focus during the session. The topic is a very interesting to topic in giving education and made us realize many things. We can now understand about leadership and ways of reaching to the society. We would learn how to become a leader ourselves with the purpose of instilling and spreading integrity in the society back in our country. We would do this continuously so that society will realize our fight is a serious fight in combating corruption which has caused nothing rather than miseries to everyone.
