Crackdown on influential people to be done over 6 months

[Wilsonandson]

We will know if they were serious when we read in the news about the influential mafia like people on kho tao being arrested. Until that happens then this story is propaganda only.

What I can't understand is they are coordinating with the RTP? How can they go after themselves if they still have the power they abuse so well?

Surat Thani is untouchable

Why so negative?

Even if it looks like that in the moment - things might change - hopefully

The golden whistle will never be arrested. His clan is intouchable.

When did being an influential person become a crime?...does that mean they are going to arrest teachers, local politicians, monks?

Blind Magician conveyed my thoughts on yet another ridiculous thread. Only he said it much better than I would have. Like most things in this country, it is a stupid study filling some pockets with no worthwhile result

[HerbalEd]

Influential people?? That's vague.

Obviously they have a list of political enemies.

"crackdown on influential individuals" For what purpose ??

Eliminate competition.

[arrowsdawdle]

Influential people?? That's vague.

Intentionally of course, for selective enforcement.

Influential people?? That's vague.

How about those privy folk, are they influential?

[Siammodels]

Really have you nothing better to do ?

Every week a new crackdown and the same outcome. Within a few monmths back to normal, The RTP are a jike and need a real ass kicking. Example incident in Pattaya the GO GO bar. One old man was bashed on CCTV and showed 0 violence. The little Thai waiter wanted to test his Muay Thai and chose a old man

Your RTP called in and raided LOL. Only to say in there discretion there was ne need punish the boy for assault. Really quite outrageous

He could have killed him

Kind Sir knoiw one has nay faith in your people

and they bring in a new DSI investigation team to properly investigate the horrific twin murders we are all familiar with and call the current proseecution case exactly what it very obviously is........

[FangFerang]

Wow. This going to be selective as hell. Say a prayer for the damned.

[LannaGuy]

"influential people" translated = those who do not support the dinosaur elite and are against the Mighty Military Junta

[Squeegee]

Look mum, they're playing at being a real government of a real country again. How cute.

Crack down on influential people?

I did not know that it was a crime to be influental. I wonder what kind of weapons they use; check-books? Highly dangerous around here, indeed.

[springheeled jack]

I would imagine that within the next 6 months there will be a lot of people moving their money out of Thailand a sure sign of guilt .

[Wilsonandson]

Since the current government took the reigns of power the only people of influence have been students who from day 1 have shown they disapprove of the current status quo.

Now, government officials have said that these students were influenced by politicians and certain political groups or supported by. This must be the people the crackdown is focusing on. As for mafia or family clans, as long as they stay on the right side of the government then they are not the target.

[natway09]

Just love it... Define influential please Boss?

[digibum]

Does this idiot ever shut up , your so called crack downs really , why warn these people first make an announcement when you have them in the dock.

Thailand: The hub of crackdowns.

Coincidently, also the hub of announcing crackdowns well in advance of the crackdown allowing those being cracked-down upon to quit doing whatever it was that was going to be cracked-down on.

Don't be silly. We all know the most influential people in Thailand are poets, philosophers, and scientists.

But you decided to take a crack at it anyhow. Good on ya, mate.

Not fortune tellers?

Or have they already been cracked down on?

[CantSpell]

"crackdown on influential individuals" For what purpose ??

So they must plan to crack down on the employers of the other side...

Their own employers?. No no.. They pay good and we can't bite the hand that feeds us, can we?
