Big Joke's rehabilitation continues: Former immigration chief will sit at the top table of RTP after reshuffle

[sammieuk1]

Big Tor, Den, Joke will surely descend into all for one for us for sure ????

Hmmm… which only goes to show that an idiot can rise to the top table of the RTP and we knew that already. TIT?

You think this guy is an idiot?

I don't......

How wealthy is he now ?

I don’t want him anywhere NEAR Immigration, ever again. The so-called “culture of tips” is the only way I can continue to stay here.  The last thing Thailand needs is western-style “clean” policing.

He was always rumoured to be a "bagman", whatever that means, for Prawit when he was head of Immigration. He used to travel all over the country on important but often unspecified missions and did things like investigating illegal casinos that were nothing to do with Immigration. Then he allegedly upset someone rather important and had to be removed temporarily from the police, with only Prawit's intervention allegedly saving him from prison.  After an appropriate period on the bench with many wais and apologies Prawit was apparently to arrange for his rehab back into the police. This new appointment shows that Prawit is still pulling all the strings, as he was with Brother Prayut as the front man, but now openly. Big Joke's rise will come to an end if Big Pom (Prawit) loses power or Big Joke hits retirement, whichever comes first.  

...rumours...heresay...gossip...inuendo. Just because he was attached to a specific department, doesn't mean he must not do other policework...If he didn't do anything about other matters, he would be neglecting his duty...come on!  If you wish to make sweeping statements without solid evidence, best not say anything. Libel and defamation laws are just as potent here as in any country.

Has he ever been convicted - or even charged - with malfeasance in office?

I don't think so.

When he was appointed head of CM Immigration some years ago he cleaned it up immediately.

Courtesy and efficiency prevailed as long as he was there.

After he left the situation reverted to status quo ante very quickly.

Spot on.

Accusations that he is “...no friend to Farang” are ridiculous and can’t be backed up in any credible way.

What can be remembered by CM expats are the significant improvements he made while he was in charge here.

It certainly made my visits to CM Immigration a lot less stressful.

I thought he seriously improved the problems at Chiangmai immigration which was awash with corrupt practices and a need to get there before the sparrows,

Maybe you are worrying?

About what? If you can't see this guy for what he is more fool you.

Sorry, you have to play by the rules as they stand. Big Joke made things up as he went along the same as ever.

Many want to defend Big Joke but nobody gets promoted that fast and then made inactive with nobody pulling his strings.

Who has pulled him from obscurity and for what?
