PHUKET: The managing director of the company responsible for the construction of a petrol station in Phuket where a building collapse killed seven workers and hospitalised two others on Thursday is believed to be in hiding after police were issued a warrant for his arrest to face charges of negligence causing death and serious bodily harm.

 

Thalang Police Deputy Chief Lt Col Anukul Nuket confirmed that police have been issued a warrant of arrest for Chuchart Plasuwan, the 44-year-old managing director of the The Blue Station Co Ltd.

 

The Phuket Provincial Court approved arrest warrant number 354/2019 on Friday (Nov 22), he said.

From the previous report...…...

 

The representative insisted that the owner will take full responsibility and “is not going to escape”.

I wonder how much of a head start that bought him?

Shirking responsibility. Not dissimilar to the person that causes a serious traffic accident and then makes a run for it. Another day or two and we'll read that he's been apprehended (or committed suicide).

With a little help from his friends...

Three ringed circus. They run like they do when they have a road accident. Children mentality cant accept responsibility.

In all seriousness, he might be doing the right thing in hiding if there are any angry relatives about

Quelle surprise !

As in the whole world, even here you save money by using poor materials, if people die, what bad luck, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time!
I hope they find the criminal very soon and that he receives the right punishment, the death penalty, after a few years in a dirty Thai prison!
For the victims, R.I.P.

[anakot]

Meanwhile the Immigration Police are rounding up the real danger to society those begpackers... A real clear & present danger (to their brown envelopes)

 

"We're public guardians, bold but wary,
And of ourselves, we take good care,
To risk our precious lives, we're chary,

 

When danger looms, we're never there
But when we meet some helpless woman,
Or little boys that do no harm

We run them in, We run them in,
We run them in, We run them in,..."

 

etc. blah blah blah 

Offenbach's great ditty which sums up the situation to a 't' or is it a 'tor'. Get it on You Tube...

WE Foreigners cannot complain, this is the ultimate THAINESS as championed by the PM . The ultimate sloping shoulders and running away. Face saving and ego triumph over care and consideration for the unfortunate.

A recipe for disaster:

Award contract to low bidder

Add shoddy materials

Mix in low-paid inexperienced workers

Blend in inadequate or unqualified supervision

Remove quality control

 

Let sit until disaster strikes!

you forgot, actively avoid any Health & Safety costs

[Liverpudlian]

Should have supplied his staff with amulets or perhaps even helmets ?

[kevinmartyn]

It's Thailand to blame for this building failure NOT the managing director! Reason they allowed building work to be done without controls on materials used and construction methods. I really can see NO POINT in sending in officials to carry out inspection when the milk had already boiled over!

Does ThaiVisa have any native English speakers working for it!? ????

 

writing accurate, grammatically and structurally correct english and being a native speaker are not dependent on one another; you can achieve the former without the latter. and possession of the latter does not guarantee the former.

 

that said, there is room for improvement...

he can get a gig as a bus driver.

He'll return in a month or so when they've forgotten about him.

[Tchooptip]

"the court did not believe the company’s claims that the workers had the means to escape from being crushed by the 15-inch-thick concrete roof, measuring seven metres by 12m, that fell on them"

It's not my fault if these workers have stupidly stayed under a roof that collapses!????

Come on boys, only two pages of essentially Thai bashing. You can do a lot better than this.

Greenland or even Alaska maybe 

[spidermike007]

Chuchart Plasuwan is a tiny man and a coward. In this life when terrible things happen and you are the cause or the responsible party, you own up. In other words you MAN up! You act like an adult. You do not flee like a scared child. 

 

With the attitude of alot of Thais and their refusal to own the problems they cause, law enforcement needs to create massive penalties for the act of fleeing from the scene of a crime or evading an arrest warrant. Perhaps it would act as a deterrent and discourage acts of cowardice?
