MP Questions Chinese Police Training Program

An MP from the People’s Party, Sasinan Thamnithinan, has questioned the Royal Thai Police (RTP) about a training programme for Chinese volunteer police, focusing on its legality, the 38,000-baht fee, and the issuance of identification cards with the national emblem. Conducted in collaboration with Siam University, the three-day training aimed to teach Chinese students about Thai law, but concerns arose over fee allocation and the use of official police insignia. The RTP clarified that their officers only served as lecturers and denied involvement in financial arrangements or the distribution of emblem-bearing items. However, Sasinan challenged the jurisdiction of the officers involved and questioned whether the programme exceeded its stated purpose.
