PHUKET: -- A pollution-emitting tour bus was banned from service after a Facebook user posted a video showing clouds of thick, black smoke emanating from it, confirmed officials on Sunday.

Facebook user Joke Moodie, who posted the video, immediately alerted authorities to take action and shut the bus down.

Phuket Land Transport Office (PLTO) Chief Policy Adviser Jaturong Kaewkasi said that the exhaust emission test showed pollution levels at 99 per cent when measured this morning.

And maybe see how a defamation lawsuit works?

[Pomthai]

Why the hell, is the identity of the person who reported it published?

In a country where face loss and retribution is often standard operating procedure. Surely having your details published is a very good reason NOT to report anything. - Perhaps thats the idea anyway?

You think Joke Moodie is the real name, Pomthai?

Doubtful, but my point remains, this isn't the first time a victim or witnesses are publicly named. Also, if one really wanted to it is not that hard to trace or figure out someones identity on social media.

This time the witness is not publicly named.

You're looking for excuses not to do anything about a problem, in stead of doing something.

go to a court in the UK, the witnesses full name and address is read out in court. I knew a woman who testified against a Ukrainian who stabbed someone to death in a road rage incident, all the mans friends were there in court, she lived in fear for months.

Do you think in case of sueing for defamation it is difficult to first get the IP adress an then the real name Sherlock? Edited May 8, 2016 by hanuman2543
