I can't imagine what a policeman here has to do to get sacked?

 

Has Dan Ducati been sacked?

 

No just a year in prison, and he will be back. He is only 21...lol

[Pedrogaz]

What is the difference between being sacked and being let go? In my world this is the exact same thing.

He was pulling the strings and had no option but to let go…. Or it would take him too!!

Sacked means moved to an inactive post....that's my view

[itsari]

The plastic bag killers judgment is coming up shortly . That case has captured much attention from the Thai people . 

The statements being made now from the general are spin .

And will the assets of the sacked policemen  be checked against there income

The only improvement would come from a root and branch reorganisation. 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.

The will possibly exists in 95% of the population to get rid of them but unfortunately they do not have the powers to do so. The other 5% are those happy with the corruption as it is this corruption that allows them to behave like demi gods and at the same time enrich themselves beyond what had previously been thought as unimaginable.

Probably a loophole in terminology,to enable long serving guys to still get their pensions!!

Doubt that!!!

It would probably shine a light on the multitudes of RTP around the country that live in rather large house's,and drive luxury brand cars on a meagre salary!!!

Wish they would focus on the Immigration crooks at Jomtien.

Yingluck said way back that officers should be prohibited from buying their promotions. Has that happened?

We could have a debate society meeting with the theme, Which is worse, being unqualified for the job, or outright corruption? 

We'd be, as westerners, on shakey ground regarding "being unqualified for the job" due to the amount of Diversity, Inclusivity and Equality being used in businesses, corporations and even governments these days.

I wasunder the impression that the Royal Thai Police has always been corrupt from the bottom up but that no one has ever noticed it.

[rudi49jr]

If they’re going to sack every bent civil servant, who’s going to be left to run the country then?

They are all corrupt beyond imagination. 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. 

 

Death Island and Myanmar labourers come to mind !

Bent police officers are being sacked. Isn't that a good thing? I don't understand why he is being attacked. There is a lot of debate on this site about the RTP being corrupt, these sackings are arguably evidence of an attempt to clean it up.

Given the fact that Yingluck bought her way into power, that seems a little hypocritical.

Wrong!  she was loved, trusted and respected by the ordinary people but despised by the "ruling class" who manipulated her removal so that they could continue the control and rape of the nation.

Maybe let go means higher the rank so they keep retirement packages.

Sacked, can't come back. Let go, give it six months and we'll find you a nice promoted job away from the spotlight.

Well, I'd agree if they had given a list of the ranks of those sacked. My guess is that there won't have been many middle or high ranking officers. (The middle ranks get "let go" so they can keep their pension rights and the higher ranks get ignored). My guess is all, or most, were lower ranks. Here's the problem, why did they do what they did? Mainly because that's what they have seen from their superiors, the "monkey see, monkey do" concept. Sacking these minor figures is just a gaslighting job by the government to convince the feeble minded that they are serious about stamping out corruption. Obviously their not, they can't afford to be because it wouldn't be long before the anti corruption guys would be coming for them. Be honest, if the Anti Corruption Team decided to use the evidence, they have no doubt hidden, that they have on the politicians in power, howe long do you think it would be before the army were back on the streets and those same politicians were back in uniform?

Unlike the Thai Police ruling army, she did not need corruption, she was already rich.  They just wanted her out of the way.   Pay for her vote , just yellow propaganda.

Yes.  Go to youtube and look up 101 East Thailand's Fearless Cop.  One of the few to stand up and do the right thing, a career officer, had his life destroyed and fled to Melbourne as he feared for his life.  Very sad and shameful for the country. ????

Well, she still bought her way into power.  It's well established that her and her brother followed this route.

How did the yellows manage to manufacture the rice pledging/vote buying scheme?  How did they fool independent news services and academia?

 

Curious to know how they managed this level of global control...

How can any PM be expected to accept the blame for the unknown actions of a minister. She had nothing to gain from the rice scheme. Wake up, think for yourself and forget all that "Yellow" <deleted> brainwashing.

My question why don’t the bent politicians not get sacked
