Immigration officers transferred after providing VIP escort to Chinese star

[webfact]

 

The Immigration Police Bureau has ordered the transfers of nine immigration officers from Suvarnabhumi Airport, after they were seen in viral video clips escorting Chinese superstar Jackson Wang.

 

The transfers was ordered after the Bureau received complaints from other passengers using the airport at the time Wang arrived, saying that Wang obtained special treatment and police protection, while they had to spend more time waiting for service at the immigration counters as a direct result of Wang’s arrival and protection.

 

In the viral video, hundreds of his fans were seen waiting for him on the airport’s second floor balconies. When he walked through the departure lounge, under heavy police protection, his fans cheered. He stopped to ‘wai’ several times, which was greeted by more cheers.

A plausible defense could be crowd control and for the safety of the star from getting mobbed by his fans.

The Immigration Bureau (IB) announced the transfer of nine IB police officers after the hapless officers caused chaos at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok while fans lined up to see Hong Kong rapper, Jackson Wang.

 

On Tuesday night, July 18, hundreds of Thai fans gathered at Suvarnabhumi Airport to welcome their beloved idol, Jackson Wang, who arrived in Thailand to promote an event at a shopping mall and hotel in Bangkok.

 

With his immense popularity in Thailand, it was only natural for high-security measures to be in place to ensure his safety during travel. However, according to Thai PBS, some foreign passengers felt that the security measures were overly exaggerated for a single artist and it affected them, causing a crowded airport and endless queues at the immigration counter.

Videos capturing the incident emerged on social media, serving as evidence of the inconvenience faced by other travellers.

Didn't the same thing happen a few months ago and the police were taken to task? It seems that nothing changes.
