Orac Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Must be something about the translation of this that makes it sound a bit odd - surely a raid is supposed to be “unscheduled” or else it would just be an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe "Big Joke" doesn't know that all factories in Thailand are inspected on an annual basis by MOL, so an immigration raid is not surprising. I wonder what "Big Joke" inhaled that caused "smoke to come out of his ears"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'm surprised that so many people knock this guy. As far as I can see he is the best thing that has happened to Thai bureaucracy in decades. With him around Thailand has a chance of dragging itself out of the quagmire of third world corruption and incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange, suppose the translator had a day off, InBury district about 70.000 inhabitants, Buri city about 12.000, ThapYa some 6.000. Sounds like local i.e. provincial immigration investigates a local matter. Zealous hence not promoted, but why the public fuss ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they finally get someone like Surachate at the helm, who is doing his job as it should be done, he get continuously slagged off again on TV. Maybe TV members should get a life.

I think you misunderstood the angle of my post. I was NOT 'slagging him off', merely pointing out that his actions must be unsettling for the immigration officers, whose routine casual acceptance of corruption until now, are being threatened. I actually support the clean-up that he has initiated. Kindly read my posts more carefully before you respond in future as your misjudged reply was not warranted. Thanks.

BestB Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I am little confused. So a factory was raided without Big Jokes direction? and why is it a big problem? Does local immigration not have its own duty and authority to raid businesses which they believe could be doing something illegal or is it a case of factory being owned by someone important?

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Sorry, but I'm not getting what the issue is here, based on the TVF article translation in the OP? --Is it that Immigration raided a factory on an unscheduled basis, whereas it was supposed to be on a scheduled basis, as in, they don't want to create any grief/surprises for the Thai factory owner? --Or that a raid occurred that somehow wasn't properly ordered -- although, those behind the raid seem to have been the local Immigration commander and his subordinates, who presumably are responsible for enforcement in their area. --Or something else entirely that I'm missing. Totally flummoxed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I don't see why boss got hot ears;) ? These transfers just spread the rot. Cut off the gangrene. Loss of pension, audit of bank accounts. Invite people to come forward with complaints. Make Public feel safe to call out these guys if corrupt. I've been told government workers can't talk bad about anything especially the junta it they can lose their job, not get promoted. This is why only retired teachers are involved in protesting the school loan/insurance scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
