LivinginKata Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 "Mr Paiboon said that if he found any wrongdoing in relation to this, he would take action against the concerned officials himself." I very much doubt he is going to look for any evidence against himself or his assistants in crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Imagine being called the justice minister of this nation? We all know his job description. I prosecute who the masters want me to prosecute, and I make it a point to not go after real criminals, if they are wealthy, powerful or connected. Justice Minister? Can you say that with a straight face, Mr. Koomchaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Some properties are worth billions of baht, prompting strong resistance from the owners, who decided to take their case to court and opt for lengthy legal procedures rather than give up their plots. What's the end game? Are they going to make the owners of these illegal resorts and residences tear down their buildings and restore the park? Very unlikely, I would think.

avocadowangnamkeouw Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 'Mr Paiboon, who is also Justice minister, rebuked Mr Damrong for speaking to the press on the matter without giving him the evidence first.' The evidence already should have reached trough many different channels, including international agencies who refer to public accessible satellite images.
