Triyarith Temahivong

 

Department of Special Investigation (DSI) Director-General Triyarith Temahivong was abruptly transferred to the Justice Ministry’s Central Institute of Forensic Science in an order issued today (Wednesday) by Justice Minister Somsak Thepsuthin.

 

Triyarith will assume the post of acting director of the institute, while the chief of the institute, Pol Maj Suriya Singhakamol, will replace Triyarith as acting DSI chief until there is a formal appointment.

 

Somsak’s order did not include a specific reason for the lightening transfer of Triyarith, apart from saying that the “swap” of positions by the two men was for the “effective and performance of the DSI and the Central Institute of Forensic Science” and to allow the two men to do the jobs for which they are most suited.

something smells like nam pla here...

Many of us experienced low level corruption like cash to and no ticket from the traffic police or something like that. And we live with it and somehow accept it. TiT.

But then, when the Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), which I think is the highest-ranking police officer in the whole country, is transferred because of some allegations, now that really shows how bad the situation is.

Am I surprised? Not really. But in a way it is still shocking.

A betting man would guess this has something to do with the DSI's director's involvement in the current Chinese "gray market" business and visas investigation, either for better (he was actually trying to prosecute them) or worse (he was obtructing attempts to prosecute them). Take your pick!

 

So now the former DSI chief is chief of the place that keeps track of dead bodies. Perhaps that's meant as a lesson/warning to him....

His scruples need examining.

So why weren't they suitably employed in the correct positions from the start?

A definite waft of something salty.

I have to admit I didn't even think about those two options. But you are obviously right. And probably we will never know which version it was/is.

20 million baht paid for the release of 11 suspects.

 

The assumption being that the "chief" did not know about this incident, assume he likes it that way, at least until he gets his cut.

The broad web of deception. 

Nothing new.

How was the weight of this transfer reduced?

Good point of course.

 

Reality is that the failure rate of snr. appointees (Gov't/non gov't) is quite high, globally.
