Temple investigator transferred for doing his job 

Re: “NBO chief defiant after transfer amid religious row”, The Nation, September 8. 

The report says: “It was then widely believed that Pongporn would lead a mission to eradicate corruption at temples and rein in the controversial Dhammakaya Temple. A source said Pongporn’s efforts had upset senior monks, who felt he was damaging the Buddhist institution. Recent National Buddhism Office investigations had implicated several temples, including well-known ones, in wrongdoing.” 
This has all the hallmarks of the junta deciding, for political reasons, that they shouldn’t investigate the monks or the various temple finances after all. Perhaps the junta has realised that their position isn’t as strong as they thought.
