How many of the other workers from that site were registered SSO? Have they all scattered to the winds after the accident? Will the SSO check back in a few weeks to ensure all the people working on the site are correctly registered?

Answers on the back of a 50B note.

Wow, that's not much of a fine.  20,000 baht fine for each unregistered worker?  Not much of a deterrent for big money builders here is there?

This is absolutely unacceptable, 100,000 are a charity for that character, 2 months in jail and 500, 000 of a fine would be fairer, then the court must decide for the seven dead!

Wow, I bet he’ll never do that again ????
