Thailand’s biggest conglomerate has threatened to sue internet users for spreading fake news that there were unreported clusters of Covid-19 infections in CP’s various factories.

 

CP All, operator of 7-Eleven convenience stores throughout Thailand, announced on Wednesday that it will “take legal action against anyone who circulates misleading information that harms the company’s reputation.”

 

“The company is pleased and willing to accept criticism for conducting business through an honest and truthful manner,” the statement said.

Also one way to stop unverifiable, false accusations, if that's what they are.

A large company such as C P really should have a better PR team than this.

To make threats of Lawsuits is infantile to say the very least. The company should be more " Mature " than this, and in making these threats have only damaged their reputation.

Most likely.

 

• CP Beverages & Food - Operates Cafes, QSR and Logistics Brands, as well as Export and Import, mainly in China and Thailand, but has recently established 4 other subsidiaries in Southeast Asia and India.
• CP Lotus Corporation - A retail operation in China.
• CP Pokphand Co. Ltd - One of China's leading agriculture companies.
• Dayang Motors - One of China's leading motorcycle companies signed a joint venture with CP All to begin production of cars in Thailand.

In America, CP would be broken up, like Ma Bell in the 80’s.  Although lately, we have a few candidates for monopoly break up: Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, etc.

That's the way things are done in Thailand ,what is a civil suit in 

democratic countries, is a criminal act here , with long prison terms,

Ah, reminds me of another CP...

 

Omni Consumer Products

 

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" ????????????

CP denies it, must be true! That's the way it works here for the elites. Guilt and truth does not nullify defamation. Why would CP workers be immune to Covid clusters.

Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook will never be broken up, and neither will CP - and for the exact same reasons.  <sound of cash register opening>  "Cha-ching"  What's it called again?  Regulatory capture?

^Hummm?

Because CP would have to shut its operation down?
Because Covie doesn't want to be sued?

It's the Thai way, enshrined in law to protect wrongdoers from the consequences of their actions.

 

covid thrives in cold, that's why many clusters around the world in slaughterhouses, meat processing etc.

The CP is one of the world's largest chicken food producers.

There is also suspicion that virus survives in frozen food for very long. Chinese and australians made this discoveries the last year, after searching for origins of their clusters.

So admitting by the CP that they have clusters well might mean, that meat being already shipped abroad will be stopped and searched for contamination at destination country.

Not a chance in hell   7-11 is her enemy.

as I read, many street, market vendors and mom&pop shops do rely on makro shopping.

Practically they have monopoly on food in thailand.

 That conglomerate family made some $30bln within one generation
