Hundreds of Thai police caught cheating on their exams - case with CSD next week

[webfact]

Picture: Thai Rath

 

Royal Thai Police chief General Damrongsak Kittipraphat had hoped to be bearing gifts to the people for New Year.

 

He appeared in front of a backdrop at an exhibition opening at RTP HQ in Bangkok that promised gifts to the public for New Year.

 

Instead the embattled chief of an organisation many claim is Thailand's biggest mafia group was forced to admit that hundreds of his men had been caught cheating in sergeants' exams.

 

Earlier this month he had put deputy Pol Lt-Gen Nirandorn Leuamsri in charge of a committee investigating the exams at the end of November and others for administrators in January.

 

In the latest tests hundreds were cheating out of 1,000+ who sat the tests.

 

Those who cheated and those who connived to help them will all face charges next week when the Crime Suppression Division will make an announcement, reported Thai Rath yesterday. 

 

One of the things the Thai public would most like for New Year is a commitment to end police corruption.

 

In 2022/23 that appears as far off as ever, notes ASEAN NOW. 

 

Instead they are upgrading police stations and paying off police debt, as we reported earlier.

Well, looks like they'll be sadly disappointed!

Cheating at the exams.. How popular the RTP jobs are.... They did not learn how to cheat and nobody noticed it.. No wonder they failed.

Is cheating corruption???? Maybe just doing what is needed to get a better salary.

 

What some consider cheating, others may call using the system.

Not the first time this has happened. Some years back, 2012 & 2017, people were caught doing the police entrance exam for new recruits.

So much for the WHITE police - everyone knows the true colour ....................LOL

Is cheating not part of the entrance qualification requirements?

[Lingba]

no surprise...as an english teacher at a Thai university....cheating was the norm and ran rampant

And somehow over a million youngsters have been advised that they didn't do an army test this month. This is despite all those kids attending army barracks to complete the tests.

Check social media to read the students complaints.

I don't think they would, or at least not once they realise that an end to police corruption means an end to much of the corruption that they enjoy every day.

LOL.

As if there’s any question about that.

Nature or Nurture?  Is it a genetic thing?  Can people be born bent or is it something they learn from the family?

[Pedrogaz]

Well I never....policemen cheating, who'd ever thunk it?

"In the latest tests hundreds were cheating out of 1,000+ who sat the tests.This high rate of cheating suggests that some external agency was selling the exam or answers in advance i.e. corruption in the RTP on a massive scale.

So pretty much everyone taking the tests were cheating. 

What about the enablers who facilitate the cheating?

They are surrounded with it from birth. And it's everywhere. 

 

My son was told by his frist uni professor (a dragon) 'when you change your family name to a nice Thai name then I will teach you. She proceeded to fail him for every subject for the next 2 semesters.

 

Then a member of dragon lady's staff privately told my son (10,000 cash) and dragon professor will reverse the F grades and also guarantee a passing grade for all future courses. 

 

Son had already checked for the same course (which he really wanted to complete) but no other uni had this course. 

 

We paid the 10,000Baht under the table . Within a couple of days new notices on all notice boards re grades, all his F grades had been changed to A and B+.

Things have advance to cheating, in the old days you just had to pay 400k to 'pass'. I know this as SIL took the so called exam about 12 years ago and was told that was the pass mark.
