Popular Post rooster59 Posted April 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2019 BREAKING: Rumors abound! Has Big Joke been transferred to RTP headquarters? Image: Sanook Thai media is in turmoil today as various outlets are apparently reporting that immigration chief and poster boy of the Thai police Lt -Gen Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn as been transferred to RTP headquarters. Sanook said there was no official written confirmation of the surprise news yet. But their headline said "Rumours abound" and "lightning transfer". Outlets were reporting that he had indeed been transferred "until further notice", said Sanook. Sanook mentioned the Lt-Gen's close relationship with DPM Prawit Wongsuwan. They said that Big Joke's Facebook page was taken down. It is a very well visited site where the public go to report crime and when the Lt-Gen posts news of his crime busting exploits. The Thai Immigration Facebook page also appeared to have been taken down on Saturday. Big Joke’s Twitter account also looks like it has been removed. Further interest was generated by the fact that a Region 3 chief of Immigration and close colleague of Surachate presented at a news conference regarding suspects in the Election Commission fake news case. Sanook said it would have been expected for the chief to be at the Thung Song Hong police station in person. Instead there were reports - still unconfirmed - that he had been transferred. It also appeared that Big Joke was not present at the most recent ‘X-Ray Outlaw Foreigner’ raids on Thursday evening. Meanwhile influential Thai new site Thairath reported that the news was everywhere but they too had failed to get any confirmation. They said that rumors of the chief's transfer had been flying around all day. They added that contact with the RTP spokesman and the Lt-Gen himself had ceased. Krung Thep Thurakit, Voice TV and Naew Na also reported rumor of the transfer. KTT said it was a "late night move" while Voice TV said "no reason was given" and Naew Na said that the transfer last night was "indefinite".

Popular Post Hayduke Posted April 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) The big BJ has just been too relaxed, good-natured and easy going. The Junta wants someone who will whip the Immigration Gestapo into a lean, mean repression machine. The security of the nation is at stake...and there needs to be a ruthless crack down on the subversive and dangerous foreigners.

He’s most likely been found out to be not as clean as he’s wanting people to believe and it’s being pushed under the carpet by the quick, quiet transfer, and, hopefully, never to be heard of again. This rascist should never have been given any power anyway, especially in immigration. Good riddance to bad rubbish! And tomorrow Big Joke will be back on duty and looking for a Mr. Falcon. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totally thaied up Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Are we not getting more reforms? Who else can we get to come in to bust more skulls? This is an interesting development. In most cases it is best to keep the devil you know closes to you. We don’t know who or what we are going to get in return. Yes, very interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
