Thailand’s famous forensic pathologist has been on a rollercoaster ride over the past few decades, and though Dr Porntip Rojanasunan is now bracing for a downhill plunge, she is confident of rising back up again soon.

 

“I will definitely pull through if I’m patient. I greet every crisis as an opportunity for me,” Porntip said in a social media post the other day.

 

Last week, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) announced it was suing Porntip, former director of the Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS), for her role in the institute’s procurement of GT200 bomb detectors, which were later found to be fake.

 

The Office of the Attorney-General had earlier ruled against indicting the celebrity forensic expert on grounds of weak evidence, but NACC believes she has a case to answer in court.

 

“I supported the procurement with the hope of protecting members of the forensic team who needed to go to the [insurgency-plagued deep] South,” Porntip said. “Even if it was a mistake, it was by no means corruption.”
