BANGKOK — As more piles of illegally imported trash draw fresh police action, environmentalists believe it was a junta move to rewrite the rules two years ago that opened the door to the surge of foreign trash.

 

Environmental concerns are peaking following raids on nearly 20 illegal e-waste plants this month, including a plant shut down Tuesday in southeast metro Bangkok. Now attention has turned to a 2016 junta order some say fueled the explosion of imported trash. The order, passed by the junta leader’s absolute power, allowed such factories to be built legally anywhere, regardless of existing zoning.

No, no, no. The junta can do no wrong. Anyone who thinks otherwise just wants to cause trouble and is jeopardizing national security. 

 

What did you say? Nothing? Yea, that's why I thought.

Well yes, but not the popular one, clamping down on all the overstayers and call centres.

Just more bungling and incompetence by the junta and it's leaders who imagine themselves to be  wonderful and insightful guardians of the country. They can never seem to get anything right.

Having a corrupt civil service to implement their dumb policies doesn't help.

 

After This 'Negative' Acknowlegement............ The Junta will probably go back to 'sensoring' the NEWS again............... LOL..........

No. The aussies have been coming to Thailand for years.

Blind leading the blind, corrupt leading the corrupt, nice little brotherhood, with  hood being the operative syllable.
