A Thai police officer has ignited controversy after videos surfaced of him singing on stage while in uniform at an Ayutthaya entertainment venue. The clips feature the officer performing Labanoon's hit song, "191," prompting divided reactions among netizens.

 

In the footage, the policeman holds a microphone and a rose, gifted by an audience member, capturing attention with his brief but spirited rendition before returning to his duties. Viewers largely praised his performance as refreshing and a step towards a more personable police image.

 

However, what began as a charming gesture has turned serious for the officer, as police authorities have announced his transfer from Uthai Police Station to the Royal Thai Police headquarters. A committee will review his decision to sing while on duty, and his actions will now be closely scrutinised.

 

 

 

This has sparked lively debate. Some insist that the officer's behaviour was inappropriate for someone on duty, while others view the response as excessive, arguing his actions were innocuous and improved public relations.

 

Critics have also drawn comparisons to perceived leniency in handling cases of corruption among senior officers, suggesting a disparity in disciplinary actions. As the investigation unfolds, the incident highlights ongoing tensions around authority, image, and accountability within Thai policing, reported The Thaiger.
