webfact Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Big Joke's fate: Public on tenterhooks will have to wait one more day Picture: TNA A meeting at the Royal Thai Police headquarters which is widely expected to center around the reasons for the transfer of Lt-Gen Surachate Hakparn to an inactive post has been delayed. And the chairman of the police committee presenting the conference will not be the deputy prime minister but the chief of police. A meeting was scheduled for today at 1.30pm with the press and public desperate for news about the poster boy of the RTP - the self styled Big Joke himself. But an announcement yesterday evening at 7.20pm said that the meeting will be held on the first floor of RTP HQ in the Sriyan Room at 1.30pm on Wednesday. It is customary for deputy prime minister and defense minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwon to head this committee. Instead the national police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda will preside. Lt-Gen Surachate was transferred to an inactive post from immigration in a sudden move by Gen Chakthip on Friday. He was told to report to the 20th floor instead of his usual office. No reason has so far been given but speculation in the Thai and foreign communities has been rife. Thaivisa notes that it would be no exaggeration to say that for the foreign community at least there has never been a Thai policeman with such a high profile and recognition as Surachate. Much of that is to do with his nickname, his promotion to the head of immigration and subsequent changes to immigration work and his continued work in investigating cases of criminality especially among illegal immigrants and foreigners.

Popular Post Pilotman Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 So Gen., Chaijinda, the boss of that laughable outfit called the RTP, got jealous and sacked the one man who was actually doing something positive. It's Chaijinda that needs sacking, for being responsible for the sorry state of policing, or should I say none policing, in Thailand. 20 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThaidDown Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 The delay in the announcement is probably due to the fact that it is still being written. They rounded up 1000 monkeys and gave each one a keyboard and are now waiting for an appropriate output. I'm told that the only thing decided at the moment is that it will start with ... "Once Upon a Time......" 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eligius Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 As with the election 'results', a delay of an official proclamation in Thailand always means that some not-to-be-questioned statement (of course ENTIRELY truthful) is being hatched and is not yet quite perfected in its stunning plausibility ... 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KMartinHandyman Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 I’m going to make a baseless guess that any allegations of misconduct on his part will be declared a misunderstanding. He will be promoted to a role that doesn’t feature him in the headlines with vinyl posters every few days and the same X-ray crackdowns etc. will continue with less showmanship. Just a wag,, wild _$$ guess 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to make of that one? That he is left flapping in the breeze, in full public view tells me that the conflict, whatever it may be, is not yet resolved. Maybe he is being given time to forward the acceptable tithe, which will make his problem(s) go away? There are probably a couple of dozen subordinates and associates who are sweating the results of this "meeting"? 1 hour ago, rkidlad said: I see Prawit has skipped out of a cabinet meeting this morning due to illness. A data point no doubt, but he has been unwell for quite a long time: hearing problems (first mentioned as a heart problem), infections, food poisoning, sepsis.

We know more about the GN-z11 Galaxy than we do about the goings on in the Royal Thai Police and whatever concocted statement that emanates will be entirely economical with the truth. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 I really disliked this fool. He was responsible for eroding Thailand on so many levels. A crime fighter he was NOT. Thrilled he is gone. Gone baby gone. Oblivion is your destiny BJ. You worked hard to deserve that fate. Your nation is a far lesser place, due to your work. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
