cmsally Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Only 12 months for the same thing in UK. Postal worker stole to feed online gambling addiction 50 years is simply ridiculous, it shouldn't be handed out, whether the time is actually served or not .

chuang Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 [The Criminal Court yesterday sentenced a former postoffice official to 50 years in jail for embezzling nearly Bt300,000. I am still scratching my head..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosha Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Ronnie Biggs and Co weren't given those sentences for whacking the train guard, they got them for embarassing the government of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee123 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The rich steal from the poor= fair game? The poor steal from the rich = capital crime. This concept is enshrined in Thai law and sentencing guidelines. It is called sakdina. Thanks Briggsy. Whilst living in Thailand one gets a sense of unease about the fairness in many parts of its society,so to explain to me and other expats how this has become accepted is very helpful.

plachon Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 and what would be the punishment for someone who siege an intentional airport? Being saddled with governing the country? Now, isn't that the punishment for sieging an unintentional airport? I think that is the status of Buriram Airport and possibly Roi-Et. When one takes over an intentional airport one knows that there will be no problem, as it could not have occurred by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I must remember this, next time I'm meeting someone at CNX International, as I would definitely not wish to find myself running the country, by accident ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungy007 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yes making example of the common man whilst letting the serious thief roam around.On the same scale toxin should only get a couple of million years in custody. Perhaps that's why he's too frightened to return and face up to his misdeeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
