webfact Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 No major violent incidents during New Year holiday BANGKOK, 3rd January 2017 (NNT) - The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau has expressed satisfaction with law enforcement efforts during the new year holidays, as no major violent incidents had occurred. Pol Lt Gen Sanit Mahathavorn revealed that law enforcement efforts since December 30 yielded no reports of incidents affecting national security. Arrests on New Year's Eve only consisted of violations of fireworks laws. Meanwhile, officials have closely monitored the traffic situation and have swiftly stepped in to solve any congestion that may have occurred. As for the policy of expunging minor traffic violations, Pol Lt Gen Sanit revealed that approximately 7,000 people have come to pay outstanding fines to qualify for the program and expects that the program will involve 10,000 participants by the program's conclusion on January 4. He confirmed that the policy is merely a short-term measure during the New Year season. -- nnt 2017-01-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 So 25 people dying in one accident and the body count at 367 with two more days to go does not count as a major incident. UFB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiyaibob Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) My guess is the definition of "major violent incidents" is as flexible as thai law enforcement Edited January 3, 2017 by kaiyaibob Change emoticon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brer Fox Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 No "major violent incidents" could be how General Sanit Mahathavorn's 50,000 baht/month sponsors Thai Beverage might like to have it described. They are possibly hoping it might take the heat off drink driving. Money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berybert Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hundreds of people dead people. Stabbing, shootings, Numerous people burnt to death in cars/van. None of that is considered major as it is an everyday occurrence in Thailand. Let me repeat, these are thinks that are thought of as normal in Thailand and that is why it will never be any different. TiT, LOS, Amazing Thailand. You name it, the country has a slogan for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
