Jakarta, Java, INDONESIA - Public bus passengers watch a demonstration in Jakarta on June 15, 2009 demanding the presidential candidates who took part in the July 8 poll to be aware of many social and cultural problems in the country.
Indonesia and Thailand are perceived as Asia's most corrupt economies, an annual survey of foreign business executives showed.
Despite the negative perception of Indonesia, Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) noted "there has been a real headway in fighting the problem" under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is seeking re-election in presidential polls in July.
