bamnutsak Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Maybe he'll shuffle off to AMLO for a new position? Maybe they should just rename the NACC as the National Corruption Commission? Edited February 24, 2023 by bamnutsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was this fortune amassed? Surely not out of his salary. Now he's laughing all the way to the bank after paying the 10K 'fine'! Thailand deserves all it gets if they don't confiscate this fortune.

tomacht8 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Amazing how many super rich officials there are in Thailand. I wonder why they work as civil servants at all, given the low official salary. Apparently many civil servants have much more lucrative sources of income than their official salary. It's a pity that there is no institution in Thailand that checks this properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
