PHUKET: A post on social media deriding the B5,000 government handout introduced to assist those most affected by the coronavirus epidemic has landed one individual in hot water with the authorities.

 

Mr Kotchaporn Sangjan, 25, from Roi Et, who is a ladyboy, was summoned by Patong police to explain a post he had shared on his personal Facebook account suggesting the handout was merely insignificant small change.

 

“The 5,000 baht handout has already been wired to my account. It’s just small change behind my refrigerator,” he said.

Saw the bikini pics. He's hot ❤️❤️❤️

So being dismissive is a crime now?  Interesting how an army occupation and free speech just do not go together. 

 

"After learning the post had been so negatively received and drew so much criticism Mr Kotchaporn deleted it and stated he had not intentionally meant to cause any damage to the Thai government."

 

Pretty fragile government.  Think the Thai people deserve a stronger one.

33 dead over the last 100 days in a population of 79 million ? Is anyone else doing the maths here ? I come out with an incredible death toll of 0.000000471% per day. This is becoming really sad, not so much the virus but the manipulation of the public to a point of complete debilitation ????

Perhaps because of lock down etc......?

Though the beer stoppage is daft...

[Oliver Holzerfilled]

Kotchaporn Sangjan, who is a ladyboy, was summoned by Patong police...

 

Kotchaporn meets Ben Dover.

What is the purpose of the word "ladyboy" in the title, other than to stigmatise a minority? Nasty, bigoted work.

It's because they couldn't work 'farang' into the story.

[RJRS1301]

Do not post an opinion, which is not complimentry of the ruling party, gets you into trouble. .

Reminds me of some people expressing differing opinions in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

i didn't get that feeling at all.  in the land of hubs, it seems "ladyboy" is simply an occupation, much like shopkeeper or bus driver.  the only derision appeared directed at the sensitive feelings of the smart car operators.

Let me fix that for you:

Mr Kotchaporn Sangjan, 25, from Roi Et, who is a ladyboy with a history of having farang customers....

[tomauasia]

New government required. Must have at least basic primary school qualifications and a love for standing over citizens in time of crisis.

[spidermike007]

He is spot on. Small change. And not only is it small change, the vast majority who apply are being turned down. What can one even say?

First Thailand has a population of 69 mil and secondly the corona virus numbers are way more than what they are showing. They are testing around 500 a day with 10% infected. The USA is testing 10s of thousands a day. All countries are supposed to show real data but if you don’t have the test kits than you can’t test.

What pronoun, pray, should they have used instead? WYSIWYG.

[rupert the bear]

the point is a very good one,she needs to be allowed to make it.the behaviour,very PRC. like the drs there.this comes from a govt that s allowed china flights in at a time we all knew it was a full blown epidemic.legislate so that large gatherings form and the country has very wealthy people who will not help the people theyre duty bound to help.look in the mirror.after this is done people will remember you

You might need to brush up on your English grammar:  "ladyboy" is not a pronoun.  "He" or "she" would be a pronoun.  In the context "person" would not have been offensive.

She can always go back to the rice fields. No more customers for the next 2 years.

And you need to brush up on your journalism. When was the last time you saw the word person in a newspaper headline? My old chief sub would have had your guts for garters!

 

Somehow, "Police warning for person who derided B5,000 government handout" doesn't have quite the same ring (or any, er, ring at all, as it's explicitly gender-neutral).

 

The pronoun he would presumably only not be offensive if the ladyboy in question identified as male. And vice versa, of course. Unfortunately, we are not told which way he/she/they swing(s). Possibly both, lucky beast.

 

Oh, and Just for the record. . .  I am told on good authority (don't ask!) that the pronoun for a ladyboy is shim. 

 

Ain't linguistics lovely!

Looks like the purpose of this exercise is to make sure no one can (or does) say anything derogatory about the government. Derogatory or inflammatory against Farang is okay though.
