More suspected corrupt Thai police transferred in continuing crackdown

[JAG]

Soon there will be no police left in active posts.

I very much doubt anyone will notice.

Lights to automatic....

Transfer them all to Antarctica

Love the junta. Things are moving in the right direction

Every year we read about hundreds of officials being "transferred to inactive posts, pending investigation". But I can count on one hand the reports about such officials being convicted and imprisoned. This suggests to me, that the government either lacks the will, or the systemic integrity to effectively curb graft and corruption in its ranks.

Honestly, I think the sole purpose of Thailand is to provide money for the "takers." No real love for the country or fellow countrymen/women. It's all about the money and getting it. No law enforcement just a continuation of schemes.

This is a story of the two sides in Thailand. On one side you have the Military (the instigators of the coup) and on the other you have the Thaksin supporting police. With the Military in power they will try to break the police stranglehold and deep rooted corruption. After the next democratic election the police will re-take control and the witch hunt will be on for the military which also has it's fair share of corruption. This will continue until hell freezes over I am afraid

Exactly. Like the game of musical chairs plaid by kids = Thai politics/police etc. All a bunch of "grabbers."

I have to wonder at the number of posters here whowere clueless as to the cooruption in Thailand but chose to live here any way but now spend hours and hours worrying about it

I have to agree with you.

20 years ago I was quite unaware of this magnitude of corruption, nepotism and injustice.

After 20 years, I know quite more.

You pay taxes and see your children sitting at the same school desks that existed 20 years ago.

You pay taxes and see exactly the same hospital equipment, like 20 years ago.

And you see the same corrupt faces, how they show up again and again to steal money from the public purse without even one is punished or put in prison.

Then you read about a list containing the names of more than 6000 mafia bosses.

Cops with links to mafia organisations, controlling drugs, gambling, involved in rackets including bribery in shops, entertainment venues, factories, offences related to immigration, extortion, trafficking, protection money, and so on.

And these corrupt officials can shamelessly show off their unexplained wealth.

These thieves and criminals have nothing to fear here.

No investigation, no police, no prosecutor, no court, no penalty, no jail, no tax audit, no confiscation of stolen assets.

If a society is not able to bring their criminals behind bars, it is a failed society.

And if you like this country, that makes you even worry about the children and their future prospects,

and these are not rosy for many.

I would venture to say that the entire CORRUPT Thai way cares little if anything about the Thai people/country. Love of Thailand isn't even a consideration because of the "me first and foremost" mentality here.
