HONG KONG: Indonesia is seen as the most corrupt country in Asia for the third year running, followed by India and Vietnam, a survey of foreign businessmen showed on Tuesday.
Singapore was seen as the least corrupt among 12 countries and territories in the region, the study by Hong Kong-based Political & Economic Risk Consultancy Ltd says.
Perceptions of corruption improved in eight of the 12 Asian areas covered last year, the survey report said.
"Some of the biggest improvements have been registered in countries like China and Thailand, which have long had particularly poor reputations," the report said.
Perceptions in the three worst rated countries for corruption -- Vietnam, India and Indonesia -- were slightly better this year than last, it said.
