craigt3365 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It looks like the US doesn't believe in empty promises from a self appointed PM. May be the Thai people should take a lesson from that. It has nothing to do with a self appointed PM. It has everything to do with real progress. The report this week of bribe paying to immigration officials and the police up north for trafficking didn't help. It was the army that caught the guy and he fessed up to the bribes.

thesetat2013 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Since there has been NO progress as of yet and since Thailand has become famous for corruption on every level and since 99% of crimes committed by anyone in a high position gets caught it seems to me that putting new laws about human trafficking are only good to show a good face. Several times the Gov has stated that they cleaned up the fishing industry only to have men wash ashore after escaping from a boat and swimming for days. None of the companies or Captains got arrested by my knowledge. The world and the USA will not believe a piece of paper. They will want to see in time that Thailand is serious about following through on enforcement of their new laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good start might be by the government accepting responsiblity for past actions, and moving forward, rather than trying to suppress through defamation lawsuits: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/22/world/asia/thailand-media-defamation/ "The Thai navy has filed criminal charges against two journalists over a report tying military personnel to human trafficking" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the army taking over the turf. Gang warfare. "It has everything to do with real progress."? Right. I'll believe that when the coup leader/self-appointed PM stops obstructing "progress": “A few days ago, Prayuth appeared angry when Thais demanded the government increase transparency.” “I beg you not to dig up anything. There is no benefit in so doing.” “I must say that you cannot do that for the time being.” http://thediplomat.com/2014/10/thai-junta-beset-by-corruption-scandals/ Dreamers...

chainarong Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Nothing better than to see honesty and give due where it is due, it takes stupidity to bring this up during Human rights week, goes to show that Tier 6 would still be too low, but it is heartening to see something is being done even if it is very little.

So massage parlours don't count? And what is happening to the pineapple king and prosecution of that entity? And not to say anything about the prosecution of navy personal? I can then understand the 'empty promise' tag, as there was exposure but nothing else said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangrak Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Maybe asking the excellencies to define what 'human trafficking' means to them would clarify the situation. My guess is that 'illegal migrant workers', such as from Burma or Cambodia, so just a few million people, should not be taken into consideration, as otherwise most businesses would take a serious nose dive here, and the immigration police's 'tip box' be desperately empty... So, business-as-usual then? I, sadly, think so, once more: 'a lot of talk, but no action'... This an integral part of Thainess too, just not inside General Prayuth's (I call him so, because that ... can't come from a PM) '12 Thai Values', that's all...

retarius Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Seems that the shine has come off Gen Prayrut rather quickly. The TV boards were full of praise for him 6 months ago. Where will it all end? Next someone will be saying that his marathon broadcasts are light in content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
