Popular Post webfact Posted October 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2021 A senior Thai police officer said today that he suspected that the recent CNN report about the export of tens of millions of used medical gloves to the United States, from a firm in Thailand, may be linked to the kidnap of a Taiwanese businessman in Bangkok in March this year. Pol Lt-Gen Chiraphop Phuridet, commissioner of Central Investigation Bureau, told the media today (Wednesday) that police believe that one of the Americans, allegedly involved in the abduction following a failed glove deal, might have tipped off a CNN reporter about sub-standard gloves being exported to the US. American Louis William Ziskin, CEO of a Los Angeles-based tech company, reportedly bought 2.7 million US dollars’ worth of nitrile medical gloves from the “Paddy the Room” trading company in Thailand, managed by Taiwanese businessman Wen Yu Chung, for export to the US last year, but the gloves turned out to be used and repackaged or substandard gloves.

Popular Post lujanit Posted October 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2021 I admit I was wrong. Initially I said it would be a Burmese, Laotian or Cambodian, never a Thai. It turns out it was a Taiwanese or a least he got the blame. Still part of my prediction was true. Never a Thai would do such a thing. 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bluebluewater Posted October 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2021 ^^ Aye The point being for CNN is that the gloves were substandard (or worse) but marketed and sold as a top grade product, there were a LOT of them, and they came from Thailand. I'm also pretty sure that CNN would have verified the entire story with probably multiple sources. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Thai (Asian) tactic, not uncommon in the West: discredit the messenger. I encountered this often in Thailand. Upon making a claim, the first thing most Thais will want to know is "who" not "what" or "how". If the "who" holds little power, they will attack the "who" and ignore the rest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used2LuvThailand Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 As with nearly everything in Thailand, it's the details that matter. And like with most things, it's the comically inept Thai response that makes a bad thing worse. The CNN story has made quite a bit of national attention on the subject and portrays Thailand as it should be. Instead of making a half-hearted effort to deal with the bad publicity, the malevolent halfwits running the country attack the source of the information. CNN, in true form, played into their hands by purposefully leaving out how their main 'protagonist' had been arrested and deported for an attempted kidnapping from Thailand. The Bangkok Post (or Thai Pravda) reports that this person "sold" the story to CNN....demonstrating that one of the largest media outlets in Thailand doesn't understand that reputable news agencies don't pay for these types of stories. Another forum member in a previous thread about this subject posted a clip of the hotel's closed circuit video of the Taiwanese man being roughed up by the Americans and pulled dragging (and presumably screaming) from the lobby. The Thai staff are clearly alarmed...and there's one other fine detail. A Thai cop sitting next to the Taiwanese man, taking it all in and doing nothing. Then after a filmed SWAT team raid of a hotel room....all are deported from Thailand. Oops....looks like a few 'other' people had their hands in that cookie jar. Standby for a new 'scheme' to 'lure' medical business to Thailand for a BOI 'incentive'. Teenage children could manage a better response....

StevieAus Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Leaving aside who was behind this scam and their nationality, the practicalities of recycling used medical gloves doesn’t add up. Presumably when produced they are manufactured and packed by machine. Any I have ever seen used in hospitals are discarded into bins. Has somehow been scouring hospitals to recover them? Are they then cleaned, returned to their original shape and re packed? Doesnt make economical sense to me even in low cost Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
