mikebell Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 More committees formed; more free lunches; more hot air spouted by self-important big-wigs resulting in no action taken. Thailand will always be a banana republic until they get a proper police force. The move to legalise gambling like seat belts in the back of pickups will never become law because the police won't allow it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 They should round up the 50 or so honest people and whistle-blowers and <deleted>-can them. Then they could get back to business for a couple years at least without bad press. I had a very bad Thai boss 40+ years ago. I don't think he had anyone killed, but he seriously threatened a lowly co-worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the dimmest in government know that there would have been widescale involvement of police and state agencies. To allow such a huge number of illegals entry to Thailand meant a lot of blind eyes or assistance was given.

spidermike007 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 The real problem is, they will not go after these guys. Not the high ranking guys, not the provincial authorities, and certainly not the army, or the police. They are all corrupt beyond imagination. And the level of corruption simply escalates, the further up the food chain you go. They police and army are not expected to be honest, and they are not expected to engage in law enforcement, traffic or public safety, on any level. It is an irrevocably broken and dysfunctional system. Anything hyperbole to the contrary, is just a smoke screen, intended to deceive the most naive amongst us. They will transfer a few guys, and maybe even make a few arrests, as pure theatre. They will not even go as far as trial, much less prison. The Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) is one of the most feeble and ineffective of all the tools Prayuth has used to deceive the people into believing that he is fighting corruption. Who was the last high level authority, in the police, immigration, the army, or the active administration they arrested, charged, tried convicted, and sent to prison? Nobody. Zero. Nunca. Nada. Because Prayuth has had a mandate from the beginning to protect the elite, the super wealthy who are guilty, those that are connected, and those who are in power. Just think Dark Tao. Just think Red Bull. The list goes on, and on, and on. Only the most naive amongst us believe he or the so called anti corruption guy, secretary-general Mana Nimitmongkol are sincere about this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
