By Thai PBS

 

 

Chanthaburi governor Witurat Srinarm has submitted his resignation to be effective as of March 7 over typing errors in his written assignment order regarding preparations for the mobile cabinet meeting in the province earlier this week.

 

In his resignation letter dated Feb 7, the governor admitted that he was held accountable for the mistakes for not rechecking the assignment order before it was circulated to units concerned.

 

Mr Witurat wrote that he had already corrected the typing errors of some wordings and had already reported the mistakes to the Interior Ministry. But in order to protect his family’s honor and his position of responsibility, he wrote that he would like to quit his government service effective as of March 7.

How bad can a typing error be ? i mean you see people here do all sorts of bad things and stay in their jobs. Or this guy is real honorable or it was a huge mistake.

Very bad:

Let's eat mom!

Let's eat, mom!

What was the typing error? He had lunch for 1000 baht and typed 100.000?

 

Or he assigned the job to a person but typed the name of his brother accidently?

 

Vague story but it must be serious i bet or he wouldn't resign.

See above (Must Read - Permanent secretary to decide on Chanthaburi governor’s resignation)

Seems fairly innocent but has to do with a "forms" mixup. Also seems to make him out as honorable.
