Quoting BBC News:

 

Police chiefs in the Thai capital, Bangkok, have come up with a new way of punishing officers who break the rules - an eye-catching Hello Kitty armband.

The armband is large, bright pink and has a Hello Kitty motif with two hearts embroidered on it.

From today, officers who are late, park in the wrong place or commit other minor transgressions will have to wear it for several days.

The armband is designed to shame the wearer, police officials said.

“This is to help build discipline. We should not let small offences go unnoticed,” Police Colonel Pongpat Chayapan told Reuters news agency.

“Guilty officers will be made to wear the armbands in the office for a few days, with instructions not to disclose their offences. Let people guess what they have done,” he said.

Further offences would be dealt with using a more traditional disciplinary panel, he said.

Hmm… what if this “method” be adopted in the Philippines… What do you think? :P hehe Well I think that our Police force will become disciplined (for a while) then, it will just be “fun” for them. So in the long run, it won’t work here.. Don’t you think?

  1. It wont work….. they’ll just say that the armband got lost, but in reality they sold it to a Hello Kitty fan . :)


  2. Haha. I’ve just read this in the Y! News. If it were to adopted by the Philippine government, I think it would be more of a joke than a discipline.


  3. Lol. I don’t think they’ll care! XD
