BigBadGeordie Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Uncle Too will step in and take action. I am sure he is the right man for the job as he has abilities far in excess of us mere mortals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Decisive here is hardly the Churchillian ' Action This Day ' more like ' set up a committee ' and true to form this problem rates a commission to investigate. Will Uncle Too's stepping mean he'll then set up a committee or two to investigate the commission investigating the errors made ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Thainess Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Seems like its the Army that never stops shuffling. When will they learn their proper role in society? According to scholar Duncan McCargo: "Thai generals experience little criticism during their professional lives. Socialized into military culture from the day they enter pre-cadet school at age 15, they can look forward to a 45-year career in the Army. Thailand has one of the world’s largest contingents of serving generals — around 1,500 across the three services, from a total military personnel of just over 300,000. Many of them have literally nothing to do except dabble in business and meddle in politics. Surrounded by yes men for most of their lives, they are ill-equipped to run real businesses or assume ministerial, political, or other public offices. The Thai Army is a uniformed bureaucracy that has not fought a real war since playing a supporting role to the Americans in Vietnam." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskunkel Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Think of it as a large ballroom packed with police officers on the dance floor and a large number of wallflowers who didn't get any, everyone waiting for the music to start and when it begins, they inevitably shuffle into each other, step on each other's feet, elbows in ribs, etc.... GPM Prayuth says: "Fix it, or i will conduct 'Musical Chairs'." I say: "Get rid of a number of officers, or use a larger ball room" Police say: "Let's have a meeting. With a committee. And investigate. We know how to do that. Maybe." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Reshuffling the deceased officers probably points to other issues best left buried? Worse still, at No.613 on the reshuffle list, Pol Col Somkiat Yuwadi, the former head of Mai Riang police station in Nakhon Si Thammarat was announced as the new chief at Khanom police station in the same province despite having died in 2013.

tuanku Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Errors !! joke more like, when a policeman who has been dead for 3 years gets a promotion. At least you can know its 3 years since he took a bribe - that's excellent by RTP standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanku Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Halve the numbers (the ones you don't need can be transferred to the army and thus end conscription) Double the pay, Describe exactly what you expect policemen to do and how you expect them to behave. Introduce an independent appraisal system managed by civilians, not police officers Demote everybody on the force by at least 2 levels of rank (double pay means no financial hardship) Promise promotion on merit Rinse and repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The double pay nearly got it back on track but expecting them to behave - lost it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertson468 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 The reason for the mistake is there are too many people on the list, so they say. Really! Nothing to do with incompetence and inefficiency then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
