snoop1130 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Widespread cheating in Thai police exams prompts calls for all results to be declared void BANGKOK:-- It has been disclosed that there was widespread cheating in police exams for senior positions within the metropolitan force. Some 418 individuals were indicated as cheats. These range from police setting the exams and giving answers to candidates to candidates themselves paying bribes for favors. Metropolitan police chief Sanit Mahathavorn chaired a meeting yesterday to decide what to do and made recommendations for the national police bureau. Sanit revealed after the meeting that the general consensus was that all the exams should be declared null and void. The committee split the group of individuals who took and set the exams into three groups - those who cheated completely, those who cheated a little and those who answered honestly. No details were given on the percentages of these in the sanook.com report but 418 individuals are believed to be facing punishment either internally or according to the criminal law. More details will follow over the coming week. Source: http://news.sanook.com/2148186/ -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-1-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, so it's easyier to just pay 500 baht for the driverslicense....Are there even Thai who failed for their driverslicense? My grandma failed all the time, after 6 attempts she gave up so she has never driven a car untill she died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonclark Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Two things: 1st good on the police for going public and making this announcement. Even better if these cheats are named and shamed...hopefully in one giant finger pointing photo op. 418 coppers all pointing at themselves. 2nd sadly this shouldnt suprise anyone. The RTP are not really the moral compass by which any self respecting individual should guide themselves with...although their actions are comedy gold so credit where it is due.

taichiplanet Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Have the police conduct the military tests, and the military conduct the police tests. Might end up with no one passing any test; i still haven't figured out if that is a good thing or a bad thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continuing, it's not the first time mass cheating in police exams has been announced. The point - why no real action to change the system years ago?

simple1 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 6 hours ago, surangw said: whats the going rate these days to pay to get on the police force ? About three years ago there was a similar announcement. At that time it was alleged the bribe for access to answers was up to 300k baht, usually funded by borrowed money. In roughly the same timeline two (?) mid ranking police were arrested after an armed cash robbery with AK47s. Reason given? they didn't have enough cash to pay for their promotions.

canuckamuck Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I don't understand. I thought cheating would be a prerequisite for promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Gravy Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Cheating is endemic across all sections of Thai society. The worse thing is getting caught not the act of cheating. Sad really but this isn't new news to anyone who has been here long enough, knows it is rife and is widespread. not only to the police but the military, universities schools and other sections of business such as those working at Thai airways for promotion etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debate101 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Cheating, lying, stealing, abusing, killing--all forgivable if you are loyal to the right people. It's what the system is based on. There's simply no acknowledgment of the concept of public good nor recognition that individuals who are not already in a social relationship with you have any rights whatsoever. This is why people don't pull over for ambulances or intervene in public instances of abuse. The leaders embody and define the public good, and you follow their orders. Luckily for you, your bad behavior gets excused if you're obsequious enough to the phu yai of your organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
