Popular Post z42 Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 As subtle as a kick in the balls. The reasoning is obviously bogus as any Thai of any intelligence level knows that the RTP are mud. A few decent coppers aside, the disgraceful M.O is common knowledge. High profile purges like this will pretty much guaranteed to be related to some of the murkier stuff the organization are engaged in. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Which is the larger number these days? The number of Chinese Wuhan flu cases, or the number of Thailand deputy national police chiefs??? Another pair of murky Thai police personnel actions that likely will never be publicly explained or justified -- just the same as occurred with BJ. The new trend, apparently.

Eindhoven Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 My guess is that Pol Gen Chakthip did not want Pol Gen Veerachai Songmetta investigating this to the benefit of Pol Lt-Gen Surachet Hakparn: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/police-probe-shooting-of-ex-immigration-chiefs-car-in-bangkok/ So his answer was to sack him. After all, if the investigation led back to the police, it would be to their detriment. Just a guess and in no way an allegation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRS1301 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 So he was not sacked, he was shuffled sideways, with salary, entitlements, acrrued wealth, just has to sign less papers and not do photoshoots for a few months. Then rehabilitated and back to a higher rank and salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang_paarp Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It must be getting close to the annual promotion time. This is one way of eliminating potential competition.

Totally agree the headlines means they were sacked , truth is they are moved to an inactive post and still get paid. More BS reporting. Pol Gen Veerachai, however, remains employed by the RTP and is entitled to remuneration from the force. Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda, the national police chief, also signed an order on Thursday transferring Pol Gen Chaiwat Kateworachai, the deputy national police chief, to an inactive post in the Royal Thai Police’s Operations Centre, otherwise known as the “graveyard” for officers who fall out of favour with their boss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
