HIS MAJESTY THE KING yesterday told the military to ensure justice so that the country will survive any threats and perils.
Military judges "must be honest and straightforward to maintain justice. Senior military officers have an important duty of maintaining order in the country," he told a group of newly-appointed court-martial judges and armed forces' judge advocates having a royal audience at Siriraj Hospital for a swearing-in ceremony.
"Soldiers must maintain justice strictly and everything will be all right. If soldiers are strict about ensuring justice for the country, things will proceed well," he said.
The King urged senior military officers to serve as good examples for their subordinates in performing their duties honestly and devotedly. He told new judge advocates to strictly keep their vow of honesty given before him yes-terday. "Then our country will be able to survive any future threat and peril. If you perform your duty well, everything will go well. I wish you maintain justice so that the country will be in peace as you desire."
Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan led the group for yesterday's royal audience. Also present were outgoing Army commander Gen Anupong Paochinda, Armed Forces Supreme Commander Gen Songkitti Jakkrabatr, and permanent secretary for Defence General Apichart Phenkitti.
