Buddhism Office head axed

By THE SUNDAY NATION

 

A group of monks claiming to come from southern border provinces hold a “cremation ceremony” of the Article 44 order issued by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha recently, at a market opposite Dhammakaya Temple in Pathum Thani yesterday.

 

A SENIOR Department of Special Investigation (DSI) official has been appointed as new chief of the National Office of Buddhism amid a tense stand-off between authorities and the controversial Dhammakaya Temple, which has dragged on for over a week.

 

National Office of Buddhism director-general Pranom Sonsill was replaced yesterday by Pongporn Parmsneh, director of the DSI’s Bureau of Taxation Crime, in the latest order issued by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha under power given to him by the post-coup interim charter.

 

The order appointed Pranom as a special inspector attached to the PM’s Office, which in effect sidelines him.

Maybe the DSI should robe up to infiltrate the temple, as I see it the Law of the Land is being overrun by Buddhist Monks and their followers

I thought that this kind of thing only happens in places like Saudi Arabia, but not in Thailand.
