Is that where all cops transferred to inactive posts end up? If so, then Building One looks like being in increasing danger of collapse!

I think the suggestion is that Big Joke is Prawit's man.  

Seems that some repositioning is taking place.

That's highly likely, and combined with the new retirement extension rules, which have been a complete and utter stuff up, along with the supposed deportation of all over-stayers etc, etc and getting too big for his boots make a very compelling argument for his inactive posting. 

 

But then again TiT, so who knows?

This is very familiar to the female tourism boss a couple of years ago, she was a rising star, she was going to shut down the bars and build family theme parks etc, then disappeared overnight.

Repositioning of what?

Of who is in charge....

not hard to work out why this happened

 

what is the current hot topic in Thailand right now

 

it seems to me that someone didn't like his opinion on an election related issue

"He is to cease all his other work and go to the 20th floor of Building One." - is that code, or do that building and that floor actually exist? I'm only half joking here.

 

Maybe not coincidentally, that's the first time I've seen the name of the RTP commissioner in a very long time. He kept a VERY low profile while Big Joke usurped all the media attention he could get.

Best guess is the police party fared well in the election (that's a fact), and the junta is pulling up dirt on top police brass now to make sure police party are compliant in forming the coalition government. 

 

A dirty business. 

So there's a power struggle going on at the top?

No one comes back from inactive post. They end up in some dark corner for the rest of their life ????????

That’s what you get for doing a good job, even if it is your subordinates doing the work. Heaven forbid we have law, order, and no corruption!

I have been informed from a reliable source that this is a tradition in the police. He will take one step back before being promoted to Police Commissioner (not sure of the official title but it is a promotion). His new role will be involved more directly with the election and he will appear even more frequently in the media. Probably he will be going after those who are smearing the EC. A photogenic dog to do the barking for the junta/military regime.

Then again, it could be as simple as someone put their car in somebody else's parking place.

Or better yet (oh, please Lord of Smiles) a new EC will become formed, a  we election held, and Big Joke in charge of selling it ad free and fair to the Thai people and foreign governments.

 

The world holds a dim view of the election, and the history of politically violence here is high. That puts foreign business office to LoS at a time when they desperately need to pump up the economy with foreign investment.

I thought it was because of racism.

The NO TIP signs at Immigration Offices will not be in sight on Monday

 

 

Movement to an inactive post usually would follow breaking of the rules. What he's done at Immigration doesn't fall under this category and this would normally be sorted by movement to a totally different "active" post. This leads me to speculate that his transfer is not directly involved in what he has achieved at Immigration but something else.

 

Of course if those in power want to find a spurious reason to move someone out of the way then they'll find one, as we've seen in the other big story this week.

Not to mention the smell if fatty Prawit  is sent there as well. 

Big Joke's undoing was, among other things, over-playing the "Pom" card.

Wrong. As I posted 3 hours ago in the other thread, now closed, the no tips sign will not be in sight on Tuesday.  Monday they are closed as a holiday in substitution of Chakri day which is today.

Ecig sellers revenge ????

In my opinion he seemed to be trying to do a good job, maybe he upset too many people , I for one hope to hear more from him.

They may have found out who he voted for.
