Dental council seeks to revoke licence of indebted ‘fraud’

By The Nation 

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The Dental Council wants to revoke the licence of Harvard School of Dental Medicine lecturer Dolrudee Jumlongras, who violated government scholarship conditions for working in Thailand and has failed to repay the scholarship funding she received.
 

Council chairman Paisal Kangwolkij said on Wednesday the decision was made at a September 14 meeting.

 

He said the former Mahidol University lecturer’s resignation before fully repaying the scholarship money breached a code of ethics established by the dentistry profession in 1995 and tarnished both the profession and the country’s reputation. 

 

Paisal said the council would submit its resolution to the Public Health Minister, who acts as the council’s “special chairman”.

 

If approved, an administrative order will be issued for Dolrudee’s licence to be revoked. 

 

Dolrudee’s failure to repay Bt24 million in funding to Mahidol University and the Office of Higher Education Commission led to a Central Administrative Court ruling in February 2006.

 

According to the council, the court found that she appeared to be avoiding repayment of the debt. It ordered her four guarantors to do so on her behalf. 

 

The guarantors pressed Dolrudee to repay the debt, but she claimed she had no money, despite reportedly having sufficient assets to do so, the council said. 

 

It said Dolrudee agreed to sell off overseas assets to repay the guarantors, but then failed to send them any money.

 

The council accused her of fraud and of tarnishing the reputations of the profession, Thai society and the country.

Don't govt officials do this on a hourly or at least a daily basis?

good, its about time they grew a pair and actually chased these people, she has used Thailand for her personal gain and simply laughing at them. Dont know if this will effect her work in the US but hopefully it will and then have her charged as well with fraud.

Only a select group of hisos get to say who's tarnishing reputations.The irony being that they're the ones who are usually tarnishing the scared reputations.

IMHO they should charge her with fraud, theft, beach of contract or whatever, and if she doesn't respond request the US to extradite her back to Thailand.

Her scholarship debt amounts to B24 million. Hard to understand how this could be value for money.

extremely easy to understand.    the agreement was in exchange for getting her tuition and living expensed fully paid for she agreed to return to thailand and teach dental medicine for x number of years. if the contract did not have a penalty clause there is little motivation to honor it as she will have opportunity for a higher salary and better life in usa. in many contracts its not integrity that motivates honoring conditions but the fear of penalty.

This should have happened 10 years ago! Why now?

Is this really news? A Thai borrowing money and not paying it back.

The lenders are pissed for they forgot the golden rule here, get good collateral when lending money. Remove all her teeth could be one solution?

[nausea]

The really reprehensible thing here is that she's left her guarantors in the lurch, the very people who gave her the opportunity in the first place. And it's not just them, how many people are going to be denied opportunities to study abroad because of this person's selfish actions. These guarantors are hardly likely to sponsor any future students, and other guarantors are going to be extremely wary. Apparently she has assets so absolutely no excuse. Let's hope some karma hits.

Just another case of a Thai getting peope to guarantee a loan then saying up yours.

Many times this happens here, ohh can you sign here to guarantee me buy a car/ house etc, then not making repayments.

Guarantor then left having to repay anothers debt.

'per the university this dds is but one in five thousand that reneged on the agreement so the % is quite small, much lower than usa student loan defaults.
