Police Commission Votes to Remove 'Big Joke' from Service

[Felton Jarvis]

Doesn't matter HOW he's removed, he just needs to go. He is dangerous to farang interests.

No, he is not honest! 

Maybe Yes Maybe No I give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

Pol Gen Surachate said the money he spends comes from his wife Sirinatda, the daughter of Bancha Panitchapong, a billionaire transport and property tycoon in Songkhla, his home province.

I could name at least one other place that he's forgotten and this information didn't come from a bar stool in Pattaya either!

Yes indeed. I bet he has a lot of incriminating evidence about people in very high places! 

Indeed, if the dismissal stands he won't take it laying down.. he'll make life very difficult for many in high places... not just the RTP which he knows inside out, how it works and whose on the take.

boy do they want rid of him bad

 

i suspect he's too honest for their liking, can't have that now can we - someone not willing to bend

 

No it's not that he's honest he's very close to Prawit's and so threat to Thaksin's interests!

[George FmplesdaCosteedback]

I don't buy into the idea Hakparn is so innocent. How many rich people have you heard of that don't want to keep on making money and having power? If he really has something on these people then aren't they taking a BIG risk?

I believe this is the last line of this curious and unfunny "Joke".

Nobody in a senior position in the police is honest.

 

You buy your promotions in a secret auction.  Lower members are given targets of how much they must collect and pass up the chain.  Everyone has a target they must pass up the chain of command, over and above that target they can keep.  If you don't play their game you don't get promoted.

 

Aspiring district chiefs often bid half a million dollars or more for the top job.  The numbers involved are vast.

 

The problem is this guy knows all the dirt on everyone, he's more than likely to have been told go quietly and you can keep your ill-gotten gains, but he isn't going quietly or easily, it's a big problem for all the seniors, I am surprised he is still alive, IMHO he must have spread the dirt with lawyers to be released on his untimely death.

Feasible.

Interesting to read all the falang comments regarding Big Joke. 😆

Do you think rich people are not greedy and corrupt

nope never said that at all. Just corrected the original posters comments implying all his money came from corruption which is far from facts. He may very well be corrupt but you or I dont know that, its all speculation that every cop and govt official is.

Who he is in conflict with has far more power than his backers have. 

 

See @bamnutsak post earlier in the thread.

the power of who he's in conflict with has nothing to do with what dirt he knows from his history of working in the various departments and agencies in the govt and the people he's had to deal with over his lifetime. The real power is much higher up the food chain and has been there for quite some time and will remain there for a long time in the future.

The problem with the police is that only the new recruits who play the game get promoted.  The game is bribes and passing the bulk of it up the hierarchy.

 

This leads to only corrupt officials in middle and senior positions.  It's probably impossible to fix that.

There is no higher power than the backers of who he is in conflict with.

 

Hope that clarifies.

Have you READ anything about Big Joke in the last four years?  Obviously, you haven't or you would not ask such a question.  His whole mission is making life difficult for resident farangs.

[n00dle]

i recall when big joke was threatening to scrutinize foreigner's and expat's visas and crack down on unwanted influences. 

who knew back then he was the soft option?

Err what? 

Big Joke made some noise, certainly

 

I don't recall an increasingly xenophobic ant-foreign narrative in the media, or threats of taxation under his tenure

I'm also interested to know where this accusation comes from. He hasn't had any dealings with foreigners now for years. If you want to go after somebody who seemed to have a grudge against foreigners, try Anutin.

Based on what? And I've looked around old newspaper articles about him. Nothing there. He hasn't worked at immigration since being sacked for no apparent reason, and then surviving what appeared to be an assassination attempt, before being reinstated in a specially created role.

 

He at least has seen active service in Songkhla, amongst other notable CV entries. I don't believe he's the shxt he's made out to be by some on this forum. They've never produced any evidence, just like the NACC and the police commission in the latest chapter of this ridiculous drama. Let him get on with his job. He's good at it.

I'm sorry I cannot explain using emojis and pictures, but Mr Jarvis infers that Big Joke was problematic for foreigners, when he  is but a single man who has been ousted by an entire government with a much more pronounced anti-foreign outlook.

during a set of gang-related murders in Pattaya he started making noise about changing visa requirements

Not a good score for the Hapkarn side.

 

This is his third brush with banishment, and his connection to Thaksin (Hapkarn's father was the family driver for Potjamon's family), and Prawit (his godfather/)sponsor are weaker than Big Tor (whose brother is the King's Personal Private Secretary and head of the Crown Property Bureau (as well as an RTAF ACM).

 

Will Hapkarn rise again? Probably? Maybe? In his last year of eligibility for the top job.

 

He always claims he knows where the bodies are buried but he never delivers on those threats. Which indicates he may not be super-clean himself.
