By THE NATION

 

An unnumbered house, belonging to former permanent secretary of the Defence Ministry General Preecha Chan-o-cha, is located on a large block in Phitsanulok’s Mueang district.

 

PM’s brother says he’ll submit details about new family home to graft agency

 

PHITSANULOK: -- GENERAL Preecha Chan-o-cha, former permanent secretary of the Defence Ministry, admitted yesterday that he owned an unnumbered house in Phitsanulok province which was not declared to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).

 

Preecha said the house was meant to be his family abode after he retired and he had just been given its number as building finished in August. 

 

He said he planned to declare the house as an additional asset to the NACC in line with his obligation as a member of the National Legislative Assembly.

When we purchased our block it came with a number, we had our address prior to building commencing.  How did he register the land without a lot number?

Land lot and a house address are two different animals unless your plot of land is already developed in a gated community.

As well as being a total crook and terrible liar, he is also a huge pain in the arse (and embarrassment) for his brother.

I mean, Prayuth's going to have to come out and make a statement / make some shoot the messenger type threats now. Don't the serfs and pesky journo's realize how inportant Preecha is, and how far above reproach he is ? come on people, wake up. Whiter than white is this guy

The actual Quote - from Walter Scott is "Oh what a tangled web we weave .... when first we practice to deceive".

 

I rather doubt this is a first attempt by the dear General.

Maybe  his sons pop up construction business won a few more government projects to boost the family coffers.

This story will be gone tomorrow, same as the high position his son received in the army and his sons new construction business getting government projects. At the end of the day, this is not responsible reporting by the media. It will cause confusion to the public. The media should stop picking on preecha and his son. It's not ethical. 

[greenchair]

Wow, they've been very busy since 2014.

And soon to be followed by use of the computer crimes act to prevent this and other stories even being mentioned online, let alone discussed. Yes, in the not too distant future, even knowing will automatically make you a criminal.

Whatever happened to the gov't funds that were in his personal bank account for "safe-keeping?"

They are as crooked as they come but were granted a blanket amnesty for anything they do since seizing the country.  They have made themselves untouchable

[Pimay1]

And the brother of the great corruption slayer gets off with a free pass time and again.

How much does a fully furnished house like this cost?

Yes I like what the current government is doing against corruption (far more than other governments) But this stuff of giving his brother and nephew a free pass makes them as hypocritical as all the others. 

[klauskunkel]

Give the man a break.The planning stage of a declaration is a complex and intricate process, as it involves strange and unfamiliar foreign concepts whose monikers need to be carefully inserted at the right places to make it look good. Like "transparency" (that just has to be in there), "lawful" (always good), "fight against corruption" (another 'must have'). Lastly, "do you know my brother?" (it's a classic)

These so called hi so think people are stupid to believe that. Find a better answer if you want people to believe you. I think they don't study communication at the military academy.

[Gandtee]

Forgetting about how a General can afford a house like that on army pay, it is obvious that this house is in Thailand. Observe the litter outside it with the adjacent rubbish bin.

With or without helipad?

[choff56]

Is the garbage dump just outside his palace gate karma, or is it just Thailand.

They are considerably more than merely hypocritical given that they are going about making even knowing about such things a criminal act.

Just voicing my displeasure, and sure call them more then hypocritical I would agree. I like the effort to curb corruption (we all know its needed) but by allowing stunts like this they discredit all their good work. One law for them and one for us.. that is how it looks.

That is your view, my view is that far more people have been jailed and far more investigations have been started then before. Your entitled to your opinion of course. However stunts like this discredit all of that.

Further, this guy should have enough brains and common sense to do things by the book and not make troubles for his brother and for the reputation of his wider family. Especially when it comes to land ownership and correct documentation.

A brainless fool!

Not true, the ball has started to roll, and be honest it will take years and even decades to achieve any massive impact and reduction.
