Chuvit continues casino hunting; the population feasts
The colorful politician Chuvit Kamolvisit is doing well in the eyes of the people of Bangkok. According to 90 percent of the respondents in the Abac poll of Assumption University, he made the most impression during the debate on the government statement. Abac surveyed 1500 people aged 18 and over in Bangkok.
Meanwhile, Chuvit comes with a new revelation. During the debate on Tuesday, he showed a video of an illegal casino in Sutthisan (Bangkok), run by police officers. Yesterday he showed a new video showing the casino being emptied and the stuff being loaded into trucks. The recording was made on Thursday night at 3 am.
Chuvit accuses the police of reacting too slowly to his revelation in parliament. She took action only after three days, giving the owners enough time to cover up the evidence. Chuvit has another video up his sleeve from another casino in Chokechai Si, a neighborhood in Bangkok. The police deny its existence.
On Friday, the police headquarters said that six police officers from the Sutthisan Bureau have been transferred to an inactive post. This agency had previously announced that it could not find the illegal casino. An investigation by the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) office located it at 18 Ratchadaphisek Road in Sutthisan.
Police General Sathaphon Laothong, who is leading the investigation into the casino, says he questioned ten witnesses: motorcycle taxi drivers and casino parking attendants. They had useful ones information provided.
I hope that Chuvit is careful when crossing the road, otherwise he could suddenly be hit by a car. Brave or stupid? Who knows may say.
Khan Peter,
That was also my first thought when Chuwit started his revelations. After all, Chuwit also acts out of a kind of resentment towards the police, who also squeezed him quite a bit at the time.
It is a wonderfully colorful figure.
Whatever his real motives, whatever his country, he often puts his finger, well, his whole hand, on the sore spot.
Sort of refreshing, I would say.
The wife & children run away with him, so oh well, I just bump along.
I find him comical.
Oh John, with crooks you catch crooks…
read in BP . that because of this incident, a musical chair is now going on with regard to the position of the highest police chief. Gen. Prem, chairman of their Council of State, so to speak, supports him. as he says himself, but the brother of the ex-wife of Thaksin and others are also on the line for that post.
I'm curious about the outcome, because after all the Police should be 'Your Best Friend', haha! and what Kunying Yinglack will do about it, as chairwoman of the Appointment Committee?
That's a very nice metaphor John. A quit chain smoker on an anti-smoking crusade. His motives are rather dark. He has a good sense of what the Thai public wants to see and hear. Most Thais dislike the police for a variety of reasons and Chuwit capitalizes on that very nicely. It is actually a miracle that it took so long for a parliamentarian to come up with the idea of exposing the rot within the Thai police apparatus.
