Move Forward MPs in Phuket set their sights on taxi mafia

[snoop1130]

 

The three MPs-elect from the Move Forward Party in Phuket are already rolling up their sleeves and getting to work, although their election success has yet to be officially recognised. The MFP had a clean sweep in Phuket in all three constituencies.

 

The Phuket News reports that MP-elect Somchart Techathavorncharoen met with the chief of the Phuket Provincial Police on Tuesday, May 23, to discuss a number of Phuket’s “challenges”.

 

Two of the items on the agenda during Somchart’s meeting with Sermphan Sirikong were the island’s “mafia” taxi drivers and corrupt police officers. Phuket City Police Chief Pratuang Ponmana also attended the meeting, according to the report.

It either won't happen or someone will die and it still won't happen.

Rhetorical question.

 

Have those MP's given up their taxi bike job?

[Toolong]

Bangkok got rid of the old tax mafia that used to hang out at the airport.

So who are the men in the photo ????

Talking to the police about police corruption is obviously a good start.

“The police confirmed that the police department does not extort monthly tribute. So, I proposed setting up an ambush to arrest them together so that they would know which agency they came from or if they were just imposters.”

 

No messing around with MFP, is there. Not accepting the inevitable denials.

there's going to more pocketchange fines for taxis and more transfers for bad cops? or are we talking about real consequences that bring reform?

"There may be trouble ahead" as the song goes!

 

I think that some of these MPs might be involved in "Accidents" if they take on Cannabis Dealers and The Phuket Taxi Mafia......

 

Just a hunch!

Is it MP's job? I though they were supposed to deal with legislation
