  • Thai Authorities to Investigate Rice Program for Corruption
  • 泰国当局调查水稻项目是否有腐败
  •   Thai authorities say they will start a corruption investigation into a government subsidy program for rice farmers, in the latest setback for embattled Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
  • 泰国当局说,他们将开始对政府补贴稻农的项目进行反腐调查,这是备受攻击的英拉总理遭到的最新挫折。

  •   The country's anti-corruption agency on Thursday announced the move. It was welcomed by Thai opposition protesters who have staged days of anti-government demonstrations in Bangkok calling for Mrs. Yingluck to step down.
