Skytrain bosses reject DSI charges
By Digital Media



BANGKOK, May 3 – Two top executives of the Bangkok mass transit system today denied charges of malfeasance in an agreement to manage the capital’s Skytrain extended services.

Kiri Kanchanapas and Surapong Laoha-anya from the Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc (BTSC) acknowledged additional allegations at the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) but flatly turned down that any wrongdoing had occurred.

The DSI charged them with illegally signing an agreement with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to operate the extended sections of two mass transit routes: the Silom Line from Taksin to Wong Wien Yai stations and the Sukhumvit Line from Bangchak to Bearing stations.

They said the BTSC is a private company invited by the BMA to jointly manage the Skytrain service and the company would never intend to breach the law.

The DSI has yet to decide if it will submit the case to the Attorney General for further legal action.

BMA executives including Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatr have been separately charged by the DSI in connection with the case. (MCOT online news)

The mass transit in Bangkok is so ridiculously disjointed and inefficient as it is, with the SRTET, BMTA, MRTA, BTS, BRT operating mass transit services when it should all just be done under 1 administration to ensure proper connectivity and to avoid duplicating routes and congesting the already deadlocked roads.

Why does the DSI keep making statements? because nothing ever happens.T.I.T.

DSI has nothing better to do than take orders form he in Dubai or his puppet. As long as DSI appears busy it will not have time to investigate PTP who have far more to answer to than Sukhumband and BTS.

Sadly it isn't. The sooner Thailand casts of the chains from Dubai the better off the country will be. As to DSI - a bunch of pencil neck public servant sheep doing what they are told rather than investigative work finding out where the huge amounts are going and if they were to spend more time working together with NACC they may just be able to come up with some prosecutions to remove the problems.

BTS engages is racist policies by issuing discount cards to senior Thais, but not to non-Thais. The one exception may be if a non-Thai has acquired Thai citizenship, which does nothing to mitigate the policy being racist. MTA on the other hand is an equitable honorable operation.
