Trang deputy governor to petition Palace against alleged unfair reshuffle

 

 

TRANG: -- Trang deputy governor Sayant Intharapak has vowed to petition the Palace and to take his case to the Administrative Court to seek justice over what he alleged as unfair reshuffle of governors.

 

Sayant insisted that he was qualified to be promoted as a governor because he has the seniority and has only one year left in the service before his compulsory retirement next year.

 

The deputy governor argued that he didn’t petition his case for himself but for many of his peers in the Interior Ministry who were not fairly treated in the annual reshuffle.

Going over Prayuth's head isn't going to please the dear leader.  Is this how he shows respect  to a god on the cusp of greatness.

"...Sayant insisted that he was qualified to be promoted as a governor because he has the seniority and has only one year left in the service before his compulsory retirement next year..."

 

There is a lot in this sentence that sums up a critical problem pervading the country's bureaucratic system, and only helps to confirm that the Dunning–Kruger effect continues to flourish in Thailand! (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/crossexamined/2015/02/the-dunning-kruger-effect-are-the-stupid-too-stupid-to-realize-theyre-stupid/)

 

Firstly, an inflated opinion of one's own abilities; then, the national focus on seniority over ability; and finally, the presumption of promotion regardless of performance (in this case because of approaching compulsory retirement). Although, "retirement" may actually be the only way the country is able to replace its civil service squeaky wheels.

 

If Thailand placed more importance of putting the best people in key positions in the civil service, and promoting on merit and achievement rather than seniority and connection it may find itself far better off.

 

But then again, if all else fails, petition the Palace!

So you don't see him as a wunnerful, wunnerful human being as he's not doing this for himself but for all the others unfairly treated in the reshuffle ?  

Let's hear it for the boy !

The sense of entitlement in this country is absurd! 

I wouldn't doubt that having one year left before retirement is a requirement for being promoted. We've got an old retired hag lingering on at out main office. She was rehired after retired to take a high position. Just so happens to be the old hag of a high ranking general too. Anyways, the man complaining in this story is right to go to the palace. That's where the power really is. General Prayuth started with cronies and nepots being appointing in his regime if you remember the early issues with his regime. That hasn't changed. This is all a sham.

"He said that he wanted a good precedent to be set because previous reshuffles were done in a way which disregard regulations and without transparency."

 

Well at some point challenges will be needed to test the new/altered laws and chain of command. Good luck Sayant, either a win or a few months having your thoughts readjusted at the pleasure of the General.  

Easy to see why he did not get the promotion.

He did not offer enough money, he who pays the most usualy gets it.

"I wan it,i wan it,i wan it and i wan it now.Or i will stamp my feet and sulk because i only have one year left and i wanna walk away with a really good pension.If i dont get it i will tell the palace and they will teach you all a lesson"

wonder if he was going to sell of his current position on retirement.
