India figures ninth among 13 countries in a list measuring corruption levels while doing business in Asia that had the Philippines at the top as the most corrupt nation, according to a survey published Wednesday.
India scored 6.67 points, and was followed only by Vietnam (7.54), Indonesia and Thailand (both at 8.03) and the Philippines (9.4 points).
Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and Macau were considered the least corrupt countries, in a survey carried out by the Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy.
Taiwan came fifth with 6.23 points and was followed by Malaysia (6.25), China (6.29) and South Korea (6.3). In the survey scale of 0 to 10, Singapore scored a high 1.2.
The poll was compiled through interviews with nearly 1,500 businessmen in 126 countries and territories on their perceptions of corruption in Asian countries. Interviews were conducted in January and February.
At the same time, Japan was considered the least stressful country to do business, followed by Malaysia and the Philippines in the second spot with 4.50 points.
Despite escalating Islamic insurgency, Thailand came third with 4.73 points, followed by Singapore (5.00), Hong Kong (5.30), Taiwan (6.00), China and India (6.25), Vietnam (6.50), South Korea (6.67) and Indonesia (7.33).
'Money does not buy peace of mind. With the exception of Japan, Asia's wealthiest economies were ranked in the middle of the pact,' said the Hong Kong based consultancy.

Businessweek has a pretty good article on India corruption. I was amazed to see so many Indians gave negative comments to that article. Maybe Indians love their country too much. You can see the article and the comments for yourself.

I think it's pretty safe to say that many people from any nation love their country too much, no?
