[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK, Feb 24 (TNA) – Whistleblower Chuvit Kamolvisit on Friday showed up at the Transport Ministry to file a complaint over alleged irregularities in the bidding for the Orange Line electric train project.

 

He planned to submit the complaint to Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob but the minister went to work in a province and assigned his secretary and governor of the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand, Pakapong Sirikantaramas to receive the letter from Chuvit.

 

Chuvit claimed that there were irregularities in the bidding process of the Orange Line, saying some 30 billion baht had allegedly been taken from the project.

By irregularities I'm guessing he means something else and was just being kind.

Where was he 20-25 years ago?

He does seem to be the media's phony and fashionable attention whore, these days.

what i can see.. the whistleblower, surrounded by photographers, who  seems to be vigorously soaping his face, is it a way to submit a complaint?

25 years ago? Heavily involved in a different type of whoring perhaps.

Chuwit must have some long-simmering beef with Chai (deceased) and Newin.

 

Taking on a few instances of police coruption is one thing. Going after made-men is probably not a winning strategy.

Is he trying to turn into Chewbacca in the photo ????

Hey Chuvit 

If you ever get finished with fixing Thailand, can you do the USA next?

It's the payoff reward to BJT for joining the coalition government.

 

BJT got MoPH and MoT, and a Chidchob took MoT.

 

The MoT is the "trough-iest" ministry.

I can't help wondering who's pulling this guy Chuvit's strings.

 

   I just can't buy him doing this for the "benefit" of Thailand...

Pakapong, dear lad, you're the scapegoat,... in case you didn't know already.

Ritual purification. It's even in the Bible????

[puck2]

For me it's much more important what Chuvit does today than what many years before. It's more healthy for Thailands future. Who of the "high society" does this? Fighting corruption and misuse.

 

Chuvit please go on. Who would dare to do this in Thailand?

For Chuwit, this is better than being prime minister. The PM mostly has his hands tied and is controlled by his political and monetary backers. Chuwit is free to do whatever he wants. There must be scores of government officials who wake up every morning and pray that Chuwit isn't holding a press conference outside their office. Still, I wouldn't want to be standing too nearby when he goes in front of the press.

He was running the Davis Group and his massage parlour empire and paying  off high level police officers. He often drank coffee at Robinsons on Ratchada.

Whoever first said that was spot-on.

A contemporary Jonathan Wild to the authorities... a right Judas to his old friends.

What will he do once corruption is rooted out? Parade honest officials at media events? Or become a monk?

So what might this have any relation to this situation?

30 Billion!!!

Unbelievable what sums inexplicably disappear without anyone asking. Corrupt officials, abuse and embezzlement of taxpayers' money everywhere you look. The people of Thailand are being taken as fools.

The people of Thailand are fully aware of what is going on and would be a part of it if they could. 

 

There are many foreigners and foreign companies that get involved with this stuff too. 

 

It's very difficult to be very successful outwith this system in Thailand. Not impossible but very difficult especially when dealing with government agencies.

Yet, when this same attention of graft and corruption is brought to the attention of the public by way of the well known activists or alternative opposition groups, receives barely a mention. 

 

I'm a more than a little suspicious when the likes of Chuvit is hero sensationalized throughout all forms of media nearly everyday. Something is up. Not what it appears to be. There are some sort of twisted psychological strings being pulled.
