Corruption index 2009: ASEAN country rankings

How did ASEAN countries rank on Transparency International's Corruption Index this year?
  • The top ten least corrupt are the Nordic countries, plus New Zealand (#1), Canada, and Australia.  (Netherlands isn't exactly Nordic, but it comes in at #6.  Singapore (#3) is perceived as the least corrupt country in all of Asia. 
  • Brunei (#39) is perceived as being no more corrupt than South Korea.
  • Malaysia (#56) is perceived as being about as corrupt as some major Eastern European countries and South Africa.
  • China (#79) and India (#84) rank similarly on corruption.    India is tied with Thailand.
  • Egypt has the same perceived level of corruption as Indonesia (#111), but the "land of baksheesh" is perceived as being less corrupt than Lebanon (#130) and Syria (#126) and even Vietnam (#120).
  • Pakistan and Philippines are tied at #139.
  • Zimbabwe is tied with Russia at #146).. 
  • Laos and Cambodia are tied at #158.
  • Only Somalia and Afghanistan are considered less corrupt than Myanmar (Burma).
