Popular Post webfact Posted December 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2022 Picture: Siam Rath Maj-Gen Achayon Kraithong told Siam Rath that Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha would be presiding over the opening of an exhibition on the ground floor of RTP HQ today. It is entitled: "New Year Presents from the RTP to the Thai people 2023". It includes gifts galore though it was admitted that several favor the police themselves. Picture: Siam Rath In total it involves 8 projects but the media managed to list nine things. Top of the list was a project that promises that law enforcement will be strong and the population will be put at ease. Thank goodness for that. 2. A commitment to strengthen communities with action against drugs according to national policy. 3. A commitment to tackling online crime. 4. Advocating good, safe driving and care for other road users. Then it got interesting, and a bit fuzzy: 5. Solving officers' debt problems. This "gift" was not further explained. 6 A project in which the people could see their past misdeeds struck off the record. 7. A project to keep Covid at bay. 8. Mediation centers at police stations. and finally: 9. A jolly nice upgrade to police stations. Picture: Siam Rath Conspicuous by its absence in the list of gifts was any promise to enforce the law or refrain from excepting "gifts" from the public themselves, notes ASEAN NOW. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-12-22 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post HuskerDo2 Posted December 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2022 Looks more like a list of things they will continue to fail at. A few were interesting.... "5. Solving officers' debt problems. This "gift" was not further explained."..... most likely they'll be requesting more brown envelopes. "6 A project in which the people could see their past misdeeds struck off the record."...... same as number 5. "8. Mediation centers at police stations."....... Is the RTP now staffed by Monks? 3 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ikke1959 Posted December 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2022 The RTP deserves gifts if they do their jobs, but not now... When they start working they can get rewarded. That is normal and the rewards must be in line of their efforts..Decent checks at check points coming holidays.. as k for driver license, do alcohol test, check the car lights, black smoke and so on... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, mediation in favour of the party with the fattest brown envelope. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) I respect Thai cops and Thai culture. About 40 years ago, at Songkran in Chiang Mai, I threw a full bucket of iced water into the cab of a police ute with two cops sitting in it. They laughed and said "Chok dee bpee mai". It could have turned out much worse. I can't imagine getting that reaction in Australia. Or trying my luck again with a stunt like that.

BayArea Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 They would have saved time and money from this so-called exhibition by actually doing their job that they're supposed to do in the first place!!

phetphet Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 No.4. Advocate good driving? How about getting out and enforcing the road laws? Advocating hasn't stopped the crazy drivers, driving without a licence or insurance, death traps on the road etc. Why can they do checkpoints for drug checks and crash helmets, but not for driving licences or insurance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
