snoop1130 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 City Hall Instructed To Remove 11 CCTVs Before 1932 Plaque Taken By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter The new plaque that replaced the 1932 revolution marker. BANGKOK — City Hall officials Wednesday morning repeated claims it has no security camera footage to explain what happened to a historic marker which went missing earlier this month. With the same explanation given to a Khaosod English reporter on Tuesday, Bangkok officials told a group of activists all 11 security cameras trained on the Royal Plaza had been removed just days before the 1932 revolution plaque was exhumed from the pavement.

candide Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It seems the police has also been instructed to look the other way during this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerojero Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 How convenient for the thieves or whomever swapped out the plaque. Why doesn't the PM simply stand up and tell the public the truth. This cloak and dagger mystery is bloody stupid. Own up to it, Big Boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whimsy Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Because he cannot say who asked for this to happen. They are now negotiating with David Copperfield to make Democracy Monument disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Who gave instructions for the cctv cameras to be removed? I bet nobody with take responsibility for that. Som senior figure is behind the removal, but it will never come to light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Are these unnecessary, useless cameras back now? Quote Nuttaa asked how police could hope to investigate any potential crime that took place there without aid from the cameras. Yutthayapan replied that crimes are unlikely to happen there because of high presence of security officers about the Royal Plaza.

bino Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Kinda foolish... removing the cameras, and switching the old plaque for a new one in fresh new cement and expecting everyone to buy the story. If they wanted it gone, they should have just ripped it out of the ground in the dark of night and blamed it on scavengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Quote The plaque, laid there in 1936 as a memorial to the bloodless revolution that installed democracy in Thailand four years earlier, was spotted missing last week. It had been replaced with a new, similar brass plaque bearing no reference to those who ushered in democracy. Instead it praised the monarchy and the public’s duty to the king. Shades of Orwell's Animal Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. "They" are above the "law", and tell the "public" what to do and think. They have no concerns for perception of the masses.

TKDfella Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The curious case of the 'dog doing nothing in the night' eh? Far be it from me to say I'm anywhere near 'well informed' about Thai history, but when I was teaching here a few year ago I understood that not all Thai historians agreed on the plaque's interpretation. One wonders that in the light of recent events those interpretations have resurfaced. Do we have a 'conspiracy theory' here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is their assumption of the people's stupidity. With the riding in the back of the pickup ban and the clearing out of food vendors (in the heavenly city of Bangkok only) and now this its seems the junta is operating on steroids.

beautifulthailand99 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Hmm a plaque celebrating the abolition of absolute monarchy goes walkies in plain sight.
