Thai PM asked to rescind appointments of 2 people over allegedly shady backgrounds

[snoop1130]

Deputy Agriculture Minister Thammanat Prompao has sent an urgent letter to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, urging him to rescind the appointments of Amorn Meemano and Phuvit Panyasith as political officials attached to the Office of the Secretary-General of the PM’s Office.

The cabinet approved Amorn, Phuvit and Somchai Sarovart, as proposed by two small pro-government parties, Thai Rak Tham and Prachatham Thai, on Tuesday.

In the letter, Thammanat did not offer any details to support his request.

but he is a convicted drug dealer, smuggled some 1 ton of heroin to australia. Charged with murder. Owner of a fake high degree diploma. Polygamist. He lied to parliament about his criminal history

[colinneil]

Laughable rescind the appointment of shady characters, must be some kind of joke, as almost all of  them in office are shady characters.

[fasteddie]

I thought it was a requirement to serve in this ''government''.

[2530Ubon]

Oh my. Only in Thailand could this happen.

Capt Flour still has to await the constitutional courts ruling on his eligibility as a minister due to his misadventures down-under. People in glass houses shouldn't be throwing rocks around...

[tracker1]

What only two ?

[YetAnother]

i doubt any of the political appointees have a clean background, likely nor merit either

[kotsak]

I had to read it twice because I couldn't believe my eyes.. Da<deleted> did I just read!?

He couldn't wait, should he be allowed to enter this into the best April fools joke, even though it's a bit early? 

[ThailandRyan]

Pot calling the kettle black.  Must not want competition.

[Tropicalevo]

But the drug dealing Deputy Agriculture Minister is the one who originally sponsored the criminal insider trader.

This is all getting rather silly.

???? ... ???? ... yeah, gotta be takin' the cake that one, shirley ...?!

That's exactly what Prayuth said while spinning in his chair laughing.

[ThailandRyan]

Jokes on the Thai people it seems.

Ahh, so qualified for a senior position in  PM office then?

His previous convictions, scandals and immoral actions have been raised before to the 2 Ps, both react with 'that's outside of Thailand so not relevant'.

[ThailandRyan]

What about the governments new stand on Adultery? Surely Captain Heroin would fall under that train.....

[PatOngo]

Any comment would be superfluous! 

 

 

[mtls2005]

Seems like the coalition (PPRP-BJT-Dems) is stressed, and close to coming apart.

 

Many cracks in the 'facade'.

 

 

 

 

 

[realfunster]

This is too funny. When I saw the thread title I was hoping this might be about a certain individual’s Australian ‘holiday’ but lo and behold, in a move that is beyond bizarre for even Thailand, he is the one impugning other peoples’ characters.

An overused phrase but you really couldn’t make this stuff up.

Mind you, they also say attack is the best form of defense. ????

anyone with a criminal past; anyone with multiple luxury watches; anyone who has become unusually rich since joining the Gov.

Now we need a new election!

I thought being shady was an unwritten prerequisite to get such a job.
