Popular Post webfact Posted February 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2022 Picture: Manager Manager reported that top cops in Bangkok were scurrying to limit the damage after a long line of cops in Thong Lo were filmed waiting to get something. Met chief Lt-Gen Samran Nuanma instructed Region 5 of the met chief Maj-Gen Sophon Saraphat to investigate what was going on. Samran said it looked serious and could damage the image of the Thai police. Spokesman at RTP HQ Maj-Gen Jirasan Kaewsaeng-ek said the incident happened in Soi Thong Lo and might have been in connection with Chinese New Year. ASEAN NOW notes that at Chinese New Year some organisations hand out "treats" to the police in envelopes. But whether the unseemly queue to get a CNY bonus could possibly damage the force further is a matter for some conjecture.

It shows not only the corrupt nature of the cops, but that the only concern isn't the underlying corruption, but their image, even when their stupidity and brazenness lets most of them believe they can do it in the open. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they generally don't line up together often to receive the largess of the organisations, probably more a solo handover, and not in public space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
