:eek: Sacked, fired, layed off, booted out, given the old heave-ho, gotten the Don't Come Monday, given the chop. They are decidedly ex-revenue men.

I don't think I have ever heard of a senior civil servant getting the old DCM. Paid suspensions and removals to inactive posts are far more common punishments. It reminds me of a college principal I once had the misfortune to know. He had been removed from another college for misuse of college funds and resources. His new place, admittedly out in the sticks, had even greater pickings. So he transgressed again. Again, he was removed to another remote location which was ideal for cultivating his sideline in college time.

Revenue dept Sirote and four officials dismissed

Sub-committee on civil service agreed to fire Sirote Sawasdipanich as director general of the Revenue Department after he found guilty of negligence and malfeasance for failing to collect taxes from the purchases of Shin Corp by the family of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Four others officials of the department are also fired on the same charges. They were Wichai Juengrakkiet, director of state enterprises' policies, Moleerat Bunyasirinitikorn, director of legal division, Kuruedee Saengsayan, legal expert and Sujinda Saengchupoo, legal expert

The order is to take effect within three days.

The sub-committee met Monday morning after the National Counter Corruption Commission recently found probable causes of malfeasance by Sirote and five revenue officials related to tax exemption for the shares transfer of a brother-in-law of former prime minister Thaksin.

The full NCCC agreed with the report of a sub-committee and found probable causes to believe that Sirote and the five revenue officials had committed dereliction of duty for failing to collect taxes from Banaphot Damapong when receives shares which were transferred from Duangta Wongphakdee.

Duangta is a servant of Thaksin's wife, Pojaman Shinawatra

It's rather obvious that neither the Minister of the Interior or the BMA has any idea how to placate an irate taxi driver:

Minister of Interior assigns BMA and the Metropolitan Police to inspect taxis against the referendum

Minister of Interior Aree Wongsearaya (อารีย์ วงศ์อารยะ) has assigned the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the Metropolitan Police to inspect taxis sticks stickers against the referendum, indicating that it may be considered illegal.

Mr. Aree says the taxis may be bribed to show the stickers, while requesting cooperation from people to inform clues to authorities.

As for the referendum in the deep South, Mr. Aree says Ministry of Interior will provide convenience to all eligible voters who want to exercise their rights, especially those in risky areas.

Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont will grant trophies to the provinces having the number of eligible voters exercising their rights more than 60%.

Obviously the NHRC sees it's role as little more than making sure the population are familiar with the lese-faire policies of whatever tyrant happens to be in power at any given time. In other words, yet another excuse for a seminar at the beach::)

Seminar on improved rights for Citizens of Thailand

At the Garden Seaview Resort in Naklua, the Office of the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand held a one day seminar led by Professor Sanae, Chairman of the Human Rights Commission. Officials from sub-district administrations from around Thailand attended the Seminar to discuss the newly installed Thai Constitution and how it relates to Human Rights. The meeting was told that rights of citizens have been greatly improved thanks to the new Constitution and it was the responsibility of local government officials to ensure that citizens are fully aware of their new rights. :rolleyes:
