In a ruling yesterday, the Criminal Court in Bangkok found General Sompote Ngerncharoen, 66, Chutikan Boonmee, and Thanankan Nanthadamrongwat guilty of committing fraud. A former assistant leader of a team attached to the chief of staff of the Department of Defence, General Sompote was a former adviser to a commander of the Fourth Region Army. https://www.chiangraitimes.com/crime/thai-army-general-jailed-in-us1-3-million-fraud-case/?noamp=mobile How long were they actually locked-up ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmartyMarty Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Given how Thailand has fallen down the global corruption measuring table, I'd say the PM's "corruption drive" is in reverse gear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total of 19 were sacked (in Thai 'lai ork') and four dismissed ('plort ork' or let go)." 2 questions/points - what is the difference, and I wonder what rank they were? P.S. Is the Inactive Posts Department full? ???? P.P.S. The RTP employs between 210,700 and 230,000 officers, compared to 139,000 Police Officers in the UK - a country with approximately the same population - draw your own conclusions!

Corruption: dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery. !!! Corruption has nothing to do with salaries !!! In every country there are people with high salaries in a position of power that are corrupt as well.!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This usually means they failed their performance review - to hand over enough $$$ to their superiors. Bottom line is - the police force here is bloated and ineffective. The military is equally so.

Sydebolle Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Who, in Thailand, needs political cabaret if you have politicians with statements such as "When Thailand's current PM assumed power the best part of eight years ago he promised to end corruption in Thailand in 20 years."? It can be eradicated overnight, if there is a will. Put a proper reporting into place, inform the officers that corruption leads to an automatic jail sentence of six months and dishonorable discharge, all the fringe benefits cut immediately - and you're sorted. Reporting corruption should be rewarded with a juicy premium and the boys in brown would start doing, what they are paid for and what they swore when assuming duty. Wishful thinking, Uncle Too will be leaving office anytime soon with yet another unfinished empty promise like all his predecessors before ....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post billd766 Posted February 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2022 When Thailand's current PM assumed power the best part of eight years ago he promised to end corruption in Thailand in 20 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_Police Thailand's police forces number about 230,000 officers. About eight percent (18,400) are female. Quote from the OP. "As evidence of this 23 officers were expelled from the force in February. A total of 19 were sacked (in Thai 'lai ork') and four dismissed ('plort ork' or let go). This brought the total for the year to 36 - 29 sacked and 7 dismissed." 36 out of 230,000 or about 0.0065%. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
