Indonesia pardon case / Thailand education impediment / Republic of Korea ex-president case

Pardoning corruption (Editorial).  “[An Indonesian] law and human rights ministerial regulation issued earlier this year allows criminals aged above 70 years to ask for leniency on humanitarian grounds, such as illness and old age…[but the] corruption [the former Riau governor] Annas committed has deprived many people of their right to well-being and a healthy environment in which to live.”

Is corruption holding back Thais? (Opinion).  “The report [produced by Pornamarin Phromkert of Khon Kaen University] states that corruption is deeply embedded in Thailand’s education system with everyone from politicians down to staff and owners creaming off tens of millions of baht from school budgets.”
