LAMPANG — The top police official of northern Lampang province was suspended Thursday, weeks after an activist flashed an anti-junta hand gesture during a deputy prime minister’s visit there.

 

In a police order published today, Maj. Gen. Triniyom Duangsee, who previously served as commander of the provincial police, was placed on inactive duty. The police officer who signed the order would not say why when reached for comment.

So his replacement will handcuff all present during the next press conference? Don't they know when you tell people not to do things, it inspires them to do it more (drugs for example)? This just gives more ammo (which they really don't need) to the anti junta groups than they had before, and with the impending election (maybe) the timing is impeccable.

It was the boy scout salute long before anti junta gesture. Thailand held BS jamboree here back in early 2000's. If you look online you can find commemorative stamps of scouts giving salutes in front of Thai temples, etc.

Over reaction to this nonsense shows how fearful the rulers just may be

This is a boy scout salute of respect.

What would the ruling junta want, the reversed Victory sign or the Archers finger salute??? You may not use the salute associated with the singers t shirt in the latest misunderstanding of education or world history.

Scouting is currently active in 216 countries and territories, with a global membership of over 31 million, male and female. Tell them to stop saluting

So, the international scouts' salute is now a "anti-junta hand gesture"?

Get real, the world revolves around Thailand!!  Just that the international scouting movement didn't realise that. ????
