webfact Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 PM orders reinforced border security to prevent illegal crossings BANGKOK (NNT) - The PM has ordered reinforcement of border security to prevent illegal entries, as the COVID-19 situation in neighbouring countries is getting out of control. The government’s deputy spokesperson, Traisulee Traisaranakul, disclosed today that PM General Prayut Chan-O-Cha had ordered every governor especially in provinces that share a border with a neighbouring country to prevent illegal entries. Security departments and residents are also required to cooperate with each other to report any suspicious activities, after illegal workers were found to have been smuggled into the country, causing deep concern of COVID-19 infections. Miss Traisulee added that the PM also stressed that the Police department and Immigration must strictly enforce the law, given the negative effect on the public if smugglers successfully enter the kingdom. If any officials are found to have supported illegal entries, they will be prosecuted without exception. The punishment that will be applied to such officers is to ensure public confidence that the officers are extra careful and the public is safe, as no one can overlook the crime of smuggling. The PM also lauded the efforts of officials in all sectors including local security, public health, the police department, soldiers and volunteers for their hard work since early this year. The hard work has paid off as Thailand is set to maintain a very low infection rate. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-11-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Like the PM NEED to tell security forces to guard the borders as if without telling them they wouldn't have figured that out for themselves being soldiers who suppose to protect the kingdom... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavideol Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 fast reading the heading I thought they were increasing border security to prevent illegal invasion, my mistake 555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2020 Duh! What are the soldiers doing with their time, if not protecting the borders? Why is Thailand spending billions on their army, if they cannot keep the borders secure? In this time of Covid, is that not a priority? Please, show us some competency in something. Anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those containers are to protect the elite. Protecting the peasants from covid is very low down the ‘to do list’. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statement of smugglers having a negative effect on the public is just more blatant BS. Time to admit Mr. PM that you do not, have never had, nor will ever have control of your people, no matter what type of stupid policies and laws you put in place. Time to resign and let someone run the country who has the respect of the masses and can obtain the trust of the people. If any officials? really, you know that corruption runs rife in your Government and you have lead it. Stop feeding at the trough and give the people back the country.

PatOngo Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Seems a little out of character for the army. Are'nt they tasked with protecting the wealth of the elite? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yet AGAIN a PM of a country Having to issue orders to authorities to do the job they get paid for, just the other day he did it about the up-coming drought, Now to police boarder control, why doesn't he just order everyone to do there JOB correctly or not get paid and sacked. Pathetic little man trying to do a job he has no qualifications to do, apart from giving orders. That's an order 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
