SRT confirms Bt100,000 one-month overtime request real
State Railway of Thailand (SRT) says a document circulated on social media, showing a Pattani-based railway official lodge a one-month overtime request for more than Bt100,000, is real.
At the same time, the official in question said he may sue the person(s) responsible for leaking the document for violating the Computer Crime Act, if the action damaged his and his family members’ reputations.
SRT traffic manager (service) Araya Pintadit said the unnamed official, whose monthly salary is Bt61,210, had worked overtime throughout May as the SRT had been repairing rail tracks in the deep South.
He also revealed that there were about 10 overtime requests in May due to carrying out the necessary work.
He said as the public had questioned the amount sort by the Pattani-based official, the SRT would investigate.
The official in question said it was up to his supervisors to explain the matter to the public.
He said he had done nothing wrong.
