traviss Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 said a Thai official.................. I can only gather that the power was out and these folks were unable to watch the televised news briefing. Govt finding real problems to human trafficking in fishery industry BANGKOK, 6 November 2014 (NNT) – The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security is now trying to find a solution to human trafficking in the fishery industry. Social Development and Human Security Minister Pol. Gen. Adul Sangsingkaew chaired a meeting that focuses on resolving human trafficking problems in the fishery industry. Several key agencies such as the Harbor, Fishery, and Consular Departments as well as the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) and the Ministry of Labor have been invited to join the meeting. The objective of this meeting is to determine measures and identify real problems in the fishery industry. Roles and responsibilities would be given to each unit involved to keep anyone from falling prey to human trafficking. Police General Adul said that problems would be voiced in today’s meeting and provincial governors would be needed to get involved and take actions whether it be amending the law or enforcing strict regulations. The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security is expected to visit Samut Sakhon province on November 13th to listen to opinions from the private sector and use them to devise a preventative approach. -- NNT 2014-11-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapout Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 As soon as I see anything said or attributed to a official whose title starts with ''Pol'', the picture of one of the BIB flash thru my thoughts. Granted there must be some good honest ones out there but we hear about more honest cab drivers than we do policemen. Maybe the BIB could improve their image by swapping uniforms and jobs with the cab drivers, of course the public transport system would gain, car pooling may become popular, just to avoid the new breed of taxie driver.
