LPG gas plant in Phrapradaeng ordered to cease operation temporarily

 

BANGKOK: -- The Central Administrative Court yesterday ordered Siam Gas and Petrochemical (SGP) to cease its gas transportation operation at its Phrapradaeng plant in Samui Prakarn following complaints and suspecion of its safety standards by residents in the areas.

 

The court also sent its representatives to the plant for site inspection with relevant government officials and later came out with the injunction after finding the licence issuance process by some state agencies skeptical.

 

The court has found that SGP has applied for licences to construct the Siam Suksawas port to operate its commercial cargo transport services.

 

However, the licenses approved by four relevant state agencies do not specify exactly if liquefied petroleum gas or coals can be transported.

 

The court earlier began hearing of the case after a group of 43 villagers in Phra Pra Daeng district filed a complaint with the Central Administrative Court asking it to revoke the licenses issued to SGP amid growing concern that the cargo it transported from its plant or depot by ships might be gas and coast which are detrimental to environment it leaks or not handled properly.

 

Now the depot was installed with 17 huge gas tanks of a 100-tonne capacity each.

 

Residents who lived before the plant would come question why the plant was able to get licenses to build gas depot in residential areas.

Another example of no zoning laws....

 

There can't be too many other countries where a residential area also has factories and LPG plants constructed.

Interesting indeed!

Chaisit Shinawatra is Chairman of the Board.

He once was quoted saying:-
“Please don’t drag me into that mess. I’m a real man and a soldier who has done a lot for the nation,” he said. “I believe in Thailand’s judicial process and hope there will still be room left for some of the Shinawatras to be in [government]. It shouldn’t be that all members of the Shinawatra family have to be eradicated.”

And there's the recent news of Panita Shinawatra:-

Panita Shinawatra, a niece of former premiers Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra, will be transferred from her position at OSMEP to the Prime Minister’s Office following the order by the National Council for Peace and Order.

The Thaksin Clan purge continues.
