DennisF Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 we cant have the military and the police acting as mafia can we that would be illegal wouldn't it but we do know this happens and has been happening for quite some time this chap is sending out a warning lets hope they heed it . That is sarcasm isn't it? It has to be,... the chap sending out the message 'appointed ' a sycophant who spent double his declared assets on the stock market in one month! Heed?? I think not, giggle, laugh uncontrollably, shake their collective head in disbelief, perhaps but, heed?? No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowisee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I just told my friend, I am overwhelmed with incredibly stupid humor and entertainment right now from the numerous military ranking officials that call themselves leaders... no time to watch my cable series shows. The headlines and following stories are just hilarious. The army dictatorship is doing great job with the comedy show. Much better than any TV comedy hour.

RidgeRunner Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 We laugh and we ridicule but, Briggsy is probably on the button. This current team of incompetents want a return to a totally medieval regime and the so called mafia will be replaced by their cronies. Our dearleader, if this was done properly, would rise in the esteem of many, including other countries governments but, alas we all know the real purpose of this latest crackdown. Troughs for the boys. If this is implemented it will certainly end in tears, if not blood. My concern is for the collateral damage, the innocents who could get caught up in this. The wonderful people of this country are sitting on the most beautiful time bomb imaginable. Yep. The big boss is taking out more political enemies.

Squeegee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) If they can't stop it from the police/mafia side, they need to make it illegal for the business owners to pay. With serious penalties, such as shutting down their business, fines, and imprisonment. . Then they need to do stings. Once word gets out that paying bribes will cause you to lose everything, business owners will think twice before handing out payments. This suggestion is just what we'd expect of the Thai establishment in it's failing to understand the world whilst lazily passing the buck. Advocating punishing the victims? Suggesting they give money to the mafia out of choice? Or suggesting that all mafia dealings are strictly within mafia-run businesses? The above post's deterrent is simplistic and fails to address the problem: it is 'the mafia' that needs to be deterred and they need to be ripped out of society at all levels without collateral damage to innocent business. The world we are in is one whereby tens of thousands legitimate businesses have had to pay 'the mafia' - whatever the heck that is supposed to mean in Thailand of all places - or would have been at best shut down and driven out in a very real sense and with no support system to do anything about it (in fact, it's arguably the other way around in that 'the mafia' are the ones who have a support system in place); and at worst: otherwise decent people and their families in fear of their lives, nevermind their livelihoods. The post's reasoning is perfect Thai logic: like having this current 'police' force responsible for nabbing bribe offers at the roadside (and getting rewarded for it!) rather than destroying the corruption within the police in the first place. It's the bad guys that need weeding out from the roots or don't bother, you'll just make normal folks' lives even more miserable to have yet another bunch of thugs pushing them around. "If they can't stop it from the police/mafia side..." is not good enough, sorry. I understand what you are trying to say, but the implementation of such a scheme is open to even more problems and the truth is if the Thais want to clean themselves up they need to get a wash, not push others into the line of fire who are merely low hanging fruit or actually decent people.

Doc46 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Why Wy in the name of Satan would you advertise that there will be a Crackdown????

manhood Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Oh how i love these announced crack downs soooo very much: and all the ones who are on head of the crackdowns are the most wanted guys but good they are leading the crack owns so they can't be found And the mafia crackdown would need to jail most of the leaders and their followers in the government, the public services, the companies etc. and sure the police: if Gen. Prayut not want any mafia structures he need first to kick out all the police in this country to take control!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have a suggestion that is similar but far more constructive: the Thais must change the perception of greed and corruption across the whole population: like making the policeman who comes to a legitimate business after tea money a social pariah.

Thai at Heart Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 This should be monumental. If the start with drug pushers that is hundreds of families.

Acharn Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The time frame of six months is ridiculous. Combined with the always helpful pre-announcement of police strategies and actions, this should assure maximum opportunity for publicity, without imposing a long term commitment or needlessly burdening the court system with defendants. Six months has a long and glorious history. When he was running for governor of Bangkok, Thaksin promised that he would cure the traffic problem(s) within six months. It's become a tradition. Every new administration has to promise to do something utterly impossible within six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
