Break his long silence since the emergence of the criticisms in the social media a few days ago, General Preecha claimed that his son complied with the bidding regulations like the other bidders. He also said that he was out of the third army region for several years, apparently, referring to the construction projects of the third army region. As for the separate criticism that a small dike project in Chiang Mai was named after the name of his wife, Mrs Pongphan, General Preecha maintained that the name was given by the local villagers which had nothing to do with his wife.

Retiredandhappyhere Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 If I live to be 95 years of age, the P.M's promise to have ended corruption within 20 years will just have taken effect. Somehow, though, I think his promise has as much value as his views on the happiness of the people and of the country being on the cusp of greatness.

And as you get older, you forget what you ate for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candide Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I will surprise some TVF members but I don't think he directly put pressure on the people in charge of the procurement. He did not even need to. Just knowing that the son of such an influent familly in the army is enough for the people in charge of the procurement to think they will be well considered above if he gets the contract and that it may not be bad for their career. Gen Preecha is up the chain, and his brother too. There is an obvious conflict of interest. Edited September 22, 2016 by candide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
