Anthony5 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 And yet the other day there was a report that hundreds of people came to his house to pay their respects. That is how you recognize a corrupt from a honest official in Thailand, since the honest one doesn't have parasites friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleyclarkey Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 You do not have to look very far to find the most blatant corruption on Phuket. This isn't a rotten apple in the barrel.....the whole barrel is rotten. Pity. I wonder what this guy did, or didn't do, to hack off the NACC?

Lupatria Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 ...the death of the probe's primary target Paiboon Upatising. That's the kind of "inactive post" I have sympathy for when it comes to untouchable corrupt officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango66 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 If they want to know the other culptries of the corruption, they just had to take the ID cards from the funeral !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigermonkey Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I really don't see why the NACC will not be laying any charges against Paiboon. Seize his assets before the will is probated, and then convict him posthumously. Anything is possible in Thailand - surely if you can impeach someone who is no longer in office, you can convict someone who is no longer living.

That is how you recognize a corrupt from a honest official in Thailand, since the honest one doesn't have parasites friends. He was popular with the people, his achievements included the introduction of the pink baht buses running through Phuket City. Many teachers from our school went to is house paying their respects, I'd hardly call them parasites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
