This would entail the establishment of a foreign police-led Independent Commission Against Corruption as they did in Hong Kong prior to 1997, with Government and public support. But I don’t think the will exists in Thai society to do this, so without external pressure from the UN or donor countries it’s not going to happen. The US probably sees Thailand as a useful buffer against Chinese expansion so will not want to rock the boat. There is a certain ex policeman who would qualify to reorganize this mess but i believe he does not reside in Thailand .For a reason. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 He is not really under pressure, as nobody expected him to behave as a man with integrity, ethics or morality would. The whole "army is so righteous" song and dance was a big show. The army ain't righteous, and neither is he. Is that much obvious by now? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nineteen I can understand but the 6 let go is unclear to me. Perhaps they have been released from prison I'm thinking Ferrari Joe and this cohort are slipping out the back door. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have a debate society meeting with the theme, Which is worse, being unqualified for the job, or outright corruption? What a strange thing for Y'luck to say.

He advised them about morality and justice. He also promised to stop corruption... maybe he should excuse himself and leave the room quietly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean asked to resign rather than being sacked? Maybe let go means higher the rank so they keep retirement packages. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the level of corruption simply escalates, the further up the food chain you go. They police and army are not expected to be honest, and they are not expected to engage in law enforcement, traffic or public safety, on any level. It is an irrevocably broken and dysfunctional system. Any hyperbole to the contrary, is just a smoke screen, intended to deceive the most naive amongst us. The Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) is one of the most feeble and ineffective of all the tools Prayuth has used to deceive the people into believing that he is fighting corruption. Who was the last high level authority, in the police, immigration, the army, or the active administration they arrested, charged, tried convicted, and sent to prison? Very few. Why? Because Prayuth has had a mandate from the beginning to do the very opposite. To protect the elite, the super wealthy who are guilty, those that are connected, and those who are in power. Just think Dark Tao. Just think Red Bull. The list goes on, and on, and on. Only the most naive amongst us believe he or ACT secretary-general Mana Nimitmongkol are sincere about this. Very observant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean asked to resign rather than being sacked? Maybe it’s when they get bored with twiddling their thumbs in the “inactive post” office and decide to resign ? Or the inactive office is so overcrowded and they get quietly shuffled out the door to make room for the next group of inactive officers. Either way they probably get to keep their pensions !

sbf Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It’s not just the cops, army and politicians - corruption is rife through many government departments and local authorities here. If you have dealings with some of these officials and you are observant you will see it in many places, often with exquisite and profitable execution. If only the energy and talent invested in the corruption were applied to the good of the country 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtrnuno41 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 OK i see it is already brought up 2 times in here, the docu about Paween. And what you get with a whistle blower, however he was doing his work, they try to shut him up. He should have gotten the most support from Prayuth. However, not and thats the prime minister from Thailand. What does he have to hide? Probably a lot. It happens everywhere in the world, even "my" country. Whistle blowers are dirty, no matter, they are right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
