alfalfa19 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 This is very sad news. I really enjoyed having a big joke who is actually named Big Joke as a high-ranking functionary in the RTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or..... maybe he wasn't creaming off money (I know, sounds alternative universe sort of concept). It's one thing to take a bit too much of the pie: at least you are in the game and be brought into line if need be.

Exactly, sore toes in the immigration office. Guess they did not want a pay cut. BJ was actually doing some good work and wanted to simplify visas for expats. However the new financing requirements may not have been liked by immigration agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 18 hours ago, webfact said: n April, Big Joke was abruptly removed from his position as immigration chief and transferred to a civilian role as a special adviser within the Prime Minister's Office. Reasons for his removal from Immigration are still not known. All this chatter about the Big BJ being honest and fighting corruption is nonsense. You do…not…become a Thai general officer by being honest. Impossible. They are mutually exclusive concepts. Anyway…a traditional Thai (they’ve really refined passive/aggressive) way to attack someone is to go after members of their ‘patronage’ group. And the Big BJ was perhaps Prawit’s most loyal lackey and his favorite ‘golden boy’. So to take him out is a very clear strike on the fat man's power structure Although obscured by an unusual amount of smoke and mirrors…this whole Big BJ drama is most likely some sort of smack down on Prawit. Maybe one day it will emerge…maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they told the public, either : - He did something bad: the public would then ask why he became a "special advisor". - He did something good: the public would then ask why he was the one being removed. Instead they keep the story at "he was transferred" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
