PHUKET: -- Despite the ongoing headlines, illegal hotels and the corruption allegations into Phuket officials extorting money from migrant workers and targeting other foreign workers in cash shakedowns were not identified as key areas that Phuket officials needed assistance from the Royal Thai Army in resolving.

 

The commander of the Royal Thai Army’s main base in Southern Thailand was handed a list of top issues that need “urgent” attention at a meeting at Phuket Provincial Hall yesterday afternoon yesterday (Feb 6).

 

Lt Gen Piyawat Nakwanit, Commander of the Army Region 4 headquarters in Nakhon Sri Thammarat, and his Deputy Commander Maj Gen Pornsak Poonsawat, were handed the list, as defined by Phuket Governor Chockchai Dejamornthan.

 

Also present at the meeting were Phuket Provincial Police Chief Maj Gen Teerapol Thipjaroen and Phuket Vice Governors Snith Sriwihok and Siwaporn Chuasawad.

 

“We have come to support the government of Phuket in dealing with – and improve on – issues that affect the people of Phuket and tourists,” Maj Gen Pornsak said.

It's not urgent because people are doing very nicely out of it- thank you very much! 

 

Big list whittled down to three- gotta love 'compromise and understandings'.

 

'Top priority' but it will take another meeting to recommend actions to remedy the issues, with no time frame for that. So its business as usual.

Mysterious forces behind the scene.  Of course the most significant are not addressed.  Big Gun Headlines is what it appears to show the people, they mean business...55555.  Mmmm, someone forgot to add the pesky seniors playing bridge....

That's because there is too much money involved and it's the Phuket Officials that are at the top of the takings.  Of course they don't need help in resolving it.  That would mean they lose their tea money.

This is not too hard to figure out. 
Let’s for example say I’m the Penang Governor. I’m on the top of the food chain when it comes to corruption money in Penang together with the chief of police right.
Now some higher power in KL tells the Malaysian army to pop over to Penang and sort out things that effect local people and tourists in a negative way in Penang.
So I as Penang Governor together with the chief of police have the opportunity to make a list of the most urgent problems we want the army to take care of. 
So dear TV members, what are the odds that I and my police chief friend will put any kind of corruption on that list???????????

 

Glad I'm not in Penang :crazy:
