Popular Post webfact Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 All provincial administrations have been ordered to submit a list of suspected drug dealers and addicts in their respective provinces to the Ministry of Interior by the end of this month. The information will be added to its main database, for use in developing effective measures to deal with all aspects of the drug problem. Interior Permanent Secretary Suttipong Juljarern said yesterday (Wednesday) that all provincial administrations have also been instructed to provide updates about the drug situation on weekly basis and to hold discussions periodically with people’s networks on rehabilitation programs for drug addicts and on the prevention of drug abuse. To begin with, he said that all provincial administrations must conduct random tests of their staff, to find out how many are addicted so that they can be sent for rehabilitation.

Popular Post Gold Star Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 Thailand is absolutely wonderful, but never make the mistake thinking you are in a free country like back home.

Which agency should be in charge of this matter? Interior Ministry officere? Or the RTP? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 How large is a district, and sub district. I think most villages know who the drug addicts and possible dealers are but we're to afraid to do anything about it. Maybe now a list can be made and turned in. Why don't they have an address for anyone to send names to. Yes it could be abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 "Suspected" drug dealers. Any proof needed? Or is this just a great way to take out business rivals, love rivals, political rivals etc. Maybe the police could handle this job? Just a thought... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post huangnon Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 But there are actual convicted drug dealers in Govt. ???? Sounds a bit like a revamp of Thaksin's "war on drugs", using extra-judicial means. Great. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I remember the times when bank accounts were systematically combed through.

Popular Post digger70 Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 Submit list of suspected drug dealers and known addicts to Interior Ministry Something Very wrong about this . Anyone can pick a name of someone and put that name on a suspect list. That's invading of a persons privacy . this should never be allowed . People are innocent till proven guilty, One can be picked up and taken to the cop shop for no reason whatsoever and be harassed and worse by the cops (Plastic Bag?) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 This has a strong whiff of 2003/4 Thaksin's war on drugs when approximately 2800 ‘suspects’ where extra judicially ‘killed’ (murdered) bringing Thailand to the forefront of international humans rights concerns... https://www.hrw.org/news/2008/03/12/thailands-war-drugs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hang on, hang on. If the authorities know who are the drug dealers shouldn't they be behind bars already? If there are "suspected" drug dealers, why add them to a data base without evidence of guilt? The local authorities could be adding anyone as a suspected drug dealer.

rudi49jr Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Why not ask the RTP? First of all, they know every drug dealer because they receive brown envelopes from them every month, and secondly, the RTP has been known to play an active role in the whole drugs trade themselves. So one phone call to the chief of police of every district or province should yield a wealth of information. Although somehow I suspect they won’t play ball, seeing as how that would kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not one for automatically obeying everyones rules as I will not obey any rule I don't agree with if I can get round it as long as I am not interfering with ordinary people, but If I know of anyone breaking laws which affect ordinary people ie drug dealing, child abuse, finding out where pedophiles live, I would not hesitate to tell the authorities.

internationalism Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 that is strange that all data have to be collected within just w few days, to the end of month. It would be incomplete, as there are many agencies involved with overlapping responsibilities. Interesting to know how they are going to test their own staff and how easy it would be for drug users not to be scrutinised or submit false samples. So I think it's just a PR exercise in wake of a mass murder a month ago. Started with police force and now extending to civil servants. They will try to prove how clean and immaculate they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
