Popular Post webfact Posted October 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2022 "Let's all work together so the people love and have faith in their police". Thailand's national police chief spoke to his men Sunday in an address to mark the auspicious occasion of National Police Day. Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittipraphat's one year tenure - because he'll be 60 next year - began on October 1st. Within a week a former drug taking cop had massacred dozens of people in the north east. There have also been many cases of corruption embarrassing the RTP. Now Damrongsak used his address to bolster good feelings in the ranks in an attempt to restore public confidence, notes ASEAN NOW. He called on the force to work together so that the public would have love for and faith in their police. Principally he said that individual policemen and women should develop themselves personally. The should be professional in their work. Be proactive in their service. For the good of the public. Thai Rath reported Damrongsak's earnest good wishes for all in the force on a day to recognise their "solemn responsibilities and duties". He thanked his subordinates saying they should be "proud of their sacrifices for the Thai people". Putting the rhetoric aside many in Thailand regard the police with suspicion with some critics viewing them as the country's largest mafia. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-10-17 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

proton Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Very early for April first, they are not even very active, never mind pro active. Last time we went to the station, wrongly accused of guilty when a bike ran into our car, one cop was asleep the whole time slumped over his desk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommers Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Awe, how sweet of him. He obviously has the mind of a three year old if he thinks that being nice will undo decades of cynical corruption. I have yet to meet a Thai person who does not positively hate the RTP.

ikke1959 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The people should not love you but respect you. Respect can only be earned by doing your job instead of being corrupt, lazy and making your own laws. Police should not work from 9-17 on a day but 24 hours and help to make the country safe for everybody even for people who disagree with the establishment. If there are non violent protest don't use watercanons, chemicals and guns. That will give you respect and that will help to give a better name than now in Thailand and outside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't they just do away with these stupid ranks like Lt/Col, Maj/Gen, etc and stop all this militaristic nonsense and pay more attention to upholding the law, and stop posing like the UK's Old King Charlie and all his fancy bling.

They are the most hated and feared institution in Thailand; the laziest and most inept; responsible for possibly thousands of deaths a year for their collective failure on the roads.

bamnutsak Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It is interesting that those in the clique display that medallion - hanging from the left breast over the heart - only is certain circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
