Police in Bangkok have ordered the immediate transfer to clerical duties of a senior commander of the metropolitan force and a station chief in the aftermath of a fatal shootout in an illegal casino in the Rama 3 area that claimed 4 lives including that of a policeman.

 

Ordered transferred pending an investigation were five policemen.

 

Top of the list was Met Region 5 chief Pol Maj-gen Samart Srisiriwibunchai.

 

Second was Thung Mahamek station chief Pol Col Suthee Sanehluksana in whose jurisdiction the incident happened. 

 

Three high ranking deputies all with the rank of police lieutenant colonel at the Thung Mahamek station were also ordered transferred, reported Sanook. 

 

The move came after PM Prayut Chan-ocha said that no one would be spared if the police were involved in allowing illegal gambling, notes Thaivisa.

If he carries out this threat nationwide the RTP will have to start doing an annual draft same as the armed forces to recruit enough new blood.

And construct a huge new building to house all the "transferred officers".

This casino has been operating for a long time.There was protection in place by guess who and of coarse missing evidence.  My Wife’s relatives went there on a regular basis. He had just left before this shooting went down. 
Mainly all Chinese-Thai gamblers.

Should that be "Remand centre" ??

Prayuth again makes an utter fool of himself. Every time he declares nobody will be spared, if found guilty, the nation laughs in unison. And cries at the same time. At the utter indifference. 

 

The chances of an active, high ranking policeman here being charged with a crime, prosecuted and jailed, are about the same as Thailand reopening to international tourism tomorrow.

 

What he does not seem to understand, is that we are on to his game. He is there, to do everything in his power to do the opposite, of what he is preaching. He is there to protect every corrupt policeman, customs officer and immigration officer in the land, in addition to every bad apple in his administration and the army. You can try to pull the wool over the eyes of the public. But, after six years of the same old game, nobody is buying the nonsense. Sheer protectionism. Sheer hubris. Moving Thailand backwards, on a daily basis.

No, its a Demand center for those whose actions and activities demanded they be moved there. Remember they are not imprisoned just inactive until something better suited for them comes along.

The quiet man  was     almost right, in his two posts. However, a ruler is only used in the most severe disciplinary cases,  the norm is a severe thrashing with a wet lettuce leaf.

And  ,  after being awarded the V.C,  there is the more illustrious one,  the  V.D. (with scar)
