rooster59 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 "I can't be held accountable for matters that were nothing to do with me " says Tiger temple official. Image: Thairath KANCHANABURI: The vice president of the Luang Ta Bua Foundation that is central to the animal abuse investigation surrounding the Tiger Temple went to talk to provincial investigators yesterday.Suphitpong Phakjarung was wanted for questioning over three tigers that had disappeared in 2013. He told Phiphat Rungsampha of the Kanchanaburi investigative team that he was ready to help in any way that he can. He said that he had carried out his duties in line with requests made by the president of the foundation and in this regard took full responsibility for his actions.But as regards matters outside his sphere of influence he added: "I do not know at all about certain things that were not my responsibility. I cannot be held accountable for certain things that may have happened that were nothing to do with me."The Tiger Temple is also known as Wat Pa Luang Ta Bua. It is currently shuttered as investigations continue to concentrate on its alleged involvement in the illegal wildlife trade.

robsamui Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I've been resident in Thailand for 19 years now, and never once have I come across anyone ever accepting and taking responsibility either for their own actions or the actions of the people for whom they were responsible. It just doesn't happen. It doesn't matter if it's someone selling you faulty goods, a restaurant serving you cold food, a major national mail-order business whose parcel has gone astray, or, as in this case. the vice president of a national foundation with corrupt employees - the attitude is the same, "It's nothing to do with me!". The depressing thing is, with the few exceptions that I can recall, there seems to be nothing anyone can do about it! But in this case I fervently hope there is enough international reaction that the smug bastard above, or one of his piers, gets the bloody book thrown at him.

ezzra Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yeah... blame the young novices in the temple, they're the main culprits, they have orchestrated and conveyed the thing, the abbot proclaim not to know anything as well and so sick he can't even talk to reports now, the all plead to have the Sgt.

Although the "I know nothing" and "it doesn't matter" generally prevail, there have been numerous instances where I have had stuff replaced under guarantee, or repaired and the resulting bodge repaired again for free. Sometimes it does take a long time. One dvd player was "in repair" for several months. And it has gotten better over the years. Just my experience, as always, YMMV.

Thaddeus Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Typical response. Nothing to do with me. Sounds similar to the excuses used at some very famous war trials some years ago. Or Homer Simpson. That's not really in my wheelhouse. I would, but I'm allergic to (something having to do with the request). I've been diagnosed with halitosis. I have a herniated ass bone. Today is a religious holiday, the feast of the Somnambulant intermission. Amazing! My horoscope warned me against doing this very thing! I'm supposed to do a favor for the pope that day. My boss considers that moonlighting, even if I don't get paid to do it. I sprained my uterus. Sure, but first my lawyer requires that you sign a form releasing me from all responsibility. He should be in touch with you in a week or two. Source: https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Homer_Simpson's_Handy_Portable_Excuses_Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

off road pat Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Typical response. Nothing to do with me. Sounds similar to the excuses used at some very famous war trials some years ago. Ich habe es nicht gewusstThis expression in German can be translated as "I didn't know about it". It was often used in the aftermath of the Second World War, when certain people in the former Nazi empire were held to account over the slaughter of Jews and others in concentration camps.

Samui where the shops sell duff phones to tourists and Immigration charge 5000 baht for something that costs 1900 baht. The General fired the governor of the SRT a couple of years ago when he failed to accept responsibility for his organization hiring a guy who raped and murdered a young girl on the train. No transfer to an inactive post, just shitcanned. Maybe this tiger temple guy needs to be reminded of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Everything to do with him ! Has he never heard of responsibility ? Ignorance of what is going on during his watch is no defense, otherwise the jails would be empty and the streets would be seething with "ignorant therefore innocent" people !

Can/do monks have bank accounts? I thought they were to shed all worldly possessions on being ordained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
