PM Prayut tells police to adhere to honesty and integrity in working



BANGKOK: -- Prime Minster Gen Prayut Chan-ocha encouraged the police to work with honesty and integrity and to ensure that the people will be treated fairly and equally.

In a message to the police marking the Police Day on Monday, Gen Prayut expressed his best wishes to the police nationwide as they celebrated the Police Day and urged them to perform duties at their best and with honesty and integrity.

He also said the police must ensure that in performing duties, the people will be treated fairly and equally so that peace and happiness will stay in the societies and the country.

In a celebration ceremony to mark the Police Day today at the Royal Thai Police headquarters, the commissioner Pol Gen Somyos Phumpanmuang laid flower garlands at the statute of King Rama IV while police cadets paraded to pay homage to the king who founded the Royal Thai Police.

In a speech to the police nationwide, Pol Gen Somyos also urged them to work with honesty and unity.

He said the police must have soul at work and fulfill their career as the “peace protector” who are ready to sacrifice their blood and lives to maintain peace and order, and that the life and property of the people are ensured.

As ASEAN Economic Community is coming into effect next year, the commissioner said it would expect broader work for the police .

He told the police to adapt themselves to catch up with the change which will be more complicated and digitalised.

There was no doubt that the duty and responsibility of the police would increase and it was unavoidable that they need to improve themselves in know-how, technology and languages to live up with the change.

Royal Thai Police - "Honesty and Integrity"..??

[Local Drunk]

Easier said than done... and I think that he's fully aware of it.

[petermik]

Words are meaningless without positive actions

[sjjmmi]

Joke of the Day

[h90]

stop the talk and act!

Who doesn't do right will be fired.....Start with the team for Koh Tao

[Zooheekock]

Prayuth is guilty of treason, a capital crime. He is not really in a position to preach about integrity.

[Local Drunk]

Joke of the Day

He wasn't making a joke. He know's who and what he's up against. It's almost an impossible win for him, but he does hold the trump card of marshal law. He has to be very careful how he plays it.

[thesetat2013]

Shouldn't the headlines be "the RTP should start being honest and showing integrity, then adhere to it"?

How can they adhere to something if they dont start doing it first

[baboon]

He really should have thought twice about saying that in the light of the Ko Tao fiasco. I can envisage him losing support rapidly if he is not more careful in what he says.

[HeijoshinCool]

Is this the face of a man with hope?

I think the look on his face says it all

[SteveFong]

I wouldn't want this guys job

He told the police to adapt themselves to catch up with the change which will be more complicated and digitalised

In other words the police force will suddenly be shoved into the 21st century, where there are networked national and international computerised databases, everybody keeps accurate and exhaustive records, and their activities will be closely scrutinized by foreign colleagues who are trained to detect culprits using scientific methods and understand how to maintain crime scene integrity and deploy forensic investigators, just like real police?

Koh Toa will definitely be a litmus test me thinks!!

[jaltsc]

"Prime Minster Gen Prayut Chan-ocha encouraged the police to work with honesty and integrity and to ensure that the people will be treated fairly and equally."

Now, all he needs to do is define the terms "honesty", "integrity", "fairly" and "equally". I am sure the police have their own definitions which might not be the same as those found in the dictionary.

He then went on to state that the world was flat and asked the Elephants at the Baanchang Elephant Park in Chiang Mai if they could fly down to Phuket for the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bluespunk]

9 sentences in the OP.

3 of them mention honesty.

Food for thought.

[WitawatWatawit]

Forget the hollow words which we are all heartily sick of, general. Just send a fact-finding mission to Georgia with a mandate to return and act in whatever fashion they see fit - carte blanche power. You know and we know there is no other way.

I am not trying to be too cynical, but I am reading something completely different between these lines.

[ratcatcher]

"Prime Minster Gen Prayut Chan-ocha encouraged the police to work with honesty and integrity .

That's enough encouragement and urging for one day. let's see if they react tomorrow.

Agree... he isn't a savvy politician and I'll leave you with this thought. It took a military coup to clear the side walks so that people could actually enter and exit the BTS at Mo Chit. It works: but only because there are soldiers there.

As far as Koh Tao is concerned... I'll share my and my Thai wife's opinion; We hope it becomes a ghost town.

Good luck getting the tea money train to stop. Corruption is so widespread its going to take years of sustained effort to reduce it

[Greenhill]

Should these remarks really be necessary??? Isn't it obvious to all that a country's police force needs to act with honesty & integrity or is that a new concept here??!!

[WhizBang]

Start with Koh Tao.

[Somtamnication]

And they all stood up at attention and said " put your quote here ".

[utalkin2me]

As if he has any more integrity than anybody else around here.

Around where? Your flat? Thai Visa? Thailand?

[jacky54]

Does this mean an end to charging 400.000 baht to 'pass' the entrance exam?, I know for a fact they do. Corrupt from start to finish.

[mrtoad]

Koh Tao would be a good start, along a mass sacking of the know corrupt BIB officers
