A company contracted to build the Bang Sue-Taling Chan elevated railway line on Tuesday filed a petition with the Department of Special Investigation asking it to probe the role of the State Railway of Thailand for allegedly preventing it from working.

Sooksan Nuntakul, a representative for Chun Wo Construction & Engineering, submitted a letter to DSI chief Tharit Pengdit accusing the SRT of refusing to investigate the company's joint venture partner, Unique Engineering and Construction Plc, for allegedly violating their partnership agreement.

Chun Wo and Unique were awarded an 8.7 billion-baht contract by the SRT for the civil engineering work on the 15-km mass transit line under the name ``Unique-Chun Wo Joint Venture" in 2008.

Hmmm. Interesting. Mr Supoj Saplom. Seems I've heard that name mentioned recently.
Article states...'Chun Wo lodged complaints with Supoj Saplom, the then-permanent secretary for transport several times but received no response.'
Isn't this THE Supoj Saplom, the unusually wealthy Mr Supoj Saplom who had 200+ million Baht stolen from his home recently?
Could all this cash have come to him from bribery money by awarding this contract to another company?
It will be interesting to see where this story goes.

One of those names sound familiar, and something about being investigated for being unusually wealthy.
