So? I've seen the RTP stand by the roadside while multiple traffic offences are committed, yet they can't see it

Conundrum -- how can a crime be committed against something that doesn't exist?

Probably all cops in Ding Daeng will verify their is no long term gambling den in Ding Daeng, therefore it doesn't exist.

This is what the future holds for the country.

Or DYKWIA they didn’t want to see. Yesterday I saw 2 police on a motorbike briefly follow 2 unlicensed school kids on a motorbike with no helmets and did nothing about it.

I assume they delivered the video in a brown paper bag

But legal casinos aren't going to pay 'fines' for operating, are they!

So he was still in the hole 700,000.  Oh well guess it doesn't matter now ;)
