The case involves an individual, and not politics,” he hinted. (MCOT online news) -- TNA 2013-10-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trogers Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I have always thought all Thai AGs, past and present, are neutral, honest and independent. Why is there a need for a vow? Or were something missing from the characters of past officer holders? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prove your neutrality by bringing that guy in dubuy home and making him serve his jail term I think we need to give him a chance to prove himself before we criticise although I won't be surprised if all this turns out to be just talk.

In all fairness this was a misleading headline when a Democrat MP accused the AG's office of dropping the charge and, if true, the new AG had nothing to do with it because he was only just appointed. Having said that, he was appointed by PTP who have a record of appointing people who are biased, dishonest and have no qualifications other than being a Thaksin loyalist. So, he has to prove himself an exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rametindallas Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 "He said an investigative department was set up on Tuesday to handle cases involving Thai culprits abroad, international criminals and corruption cases."“After my trip to New York late this month, an important case which has attracted Thai people’s interest will be disclosed. The case involves an individual, and not politics,” he hinted. He is envious of all the World travel the PM enjoys, and, since he has solved all local crime, he is now branching out to chase Thai criminals abroad. As for being neutral and independent, in Thailand, that is unpossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZZPA Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Isn't his vow a prerequisite of the job? I bet the interview for the job was interesting,, "so you vow to be neutral, honest and independent,, lovely,, when can you start?". I will have to try this technique at my next job interview,, "I vow to do the job exactly as you would expect". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be an email address to be able to place your complaints and a compulsory jail term for people who make false complaints with lies etc. Must have some responsible person appointed to check on crimes inthe papers etc like this discussing crime in Phuket by this piece of shit the taxi driver. I sent the Phuket News link to the main paper and TV station in my country hoping they would make it inthe main news, all you other guys should do it also, all the time then the Thai authorities may get some concerns coming from foreign countries.

Baerboxer Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Thailand's new Attorney General vows neutrality, honesty, independence Yes, course he does! Now, tomorrow, back to normal, same same. Unless he pursues extradition against all fugitive convicted criminals, the killers avoiding justice by jumping bail or failing to attend courts and pursues charges against those in government who act illegally, such as issuing passports illegally, Then we shall see if he is a crusading AG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makkam Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I doubt there's a thai politician, armed forces member, judge or businessman who has any moral compass whatsoever. The people with real power are ripping off the average thai and hiding behind a plethora of different 'causes' to deflect what should be closer scrutiny of their disgusting avarice and total disregard for fellow thai citizens.
