ALT3 ... that government ministries in Myanmar rarely report their expenditures for large projects?ALT4 ... that police in Myanmar are reported to demand bribes from victims before they investigate crimes?ALT5 ... that Myanmar opposition leaders have looked to Singapore for advice on combatting corruption in Myanmar?ALT6 ... that as part of Coca-Cola's zero-tolerance for corruption policy, truck drivers shipping bottles in Myanmar are required to report any solicitation of bribes to their superiors?

Well done! Within policy and expanded within the required timeframe. No copyvios found and QPQ done. I'm approving hooks ALT1 and ALT2. ALT0 reaches a conclusion which is not supported by sources. ALT3 does not seem to be an example of how quite endemic the corruption in Myanmar is, while ALT4 has no direct inline citation after the sentence. ALT5 is not reflective of how awful the corruption in Myanmar is, while ALT6 seems to describe a standard and default business practice.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 20:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
