Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has asked public prosecutors to indict 34 staff at the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT), who are accused of falsely claiming overtime pay and pay for working on public holidays from 2003 to 2012.

 

Case files, which were prepared by the DSI during the course of their investigation, were submitted to the public prosecutors at the Office of Special Cases today (Wednesday), recommending the indictments of 34 people. Charges were dropped against three others.

 

The 34 PAT staffers, including some executives, are charged with malfeasance in office for using false documents.

It's wrong for sure but I understand why.

 

In my earlier days if the pay was rubbish, it was accepted people would work a number of some sort, or simply earn a bit extra on the side, and kind of just do the minimum at the full time job. 

 

Now people often have to work hard for poor pay. That's even more wrong in my books.

Transfer to an inactive position for a week, 10 baht fine, a few wais.

No phobem.

Nice to see them on the ball.

A slow day at the office if they are looking at cases over 20 years old.  How about investigating something that's happening NOW?
