Imagine strolling through the gleaming corridors of Suvarnabhumi airport, where the graceful hum of travelers melds with the quiet yet vigilant presence of seasoned security guards. These unsung heroes of safety, ears tuned to the directives of their higher-ups, have, up till now, quietly shaped the security measures that keep us safe. But behind the veil of their crisp uniforms and stoic expressions, echoes a cry for enhancement – a need for skill refinement and acknowledgment that is finally being heard at the highest corridors of authority.
The Labour Ministry, in a landmark collaboration with the stalwarts of the police force and the esteemed army, has embarked on a noble quest to propel these custodians of security into a brighter era of professional development. Amidst the formal settings of government halls, Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn converged with the insightful Watcharapol Bussamongkol, revered former president of the Security Services Association of Thailand (SSAT), alongside dedicated colleagues from the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare. The air was thick with aspirations to fortify the welfare, rights, and particularly, the prowess of the nation’s security personnel.
Bustling with determination, Mr. Phiphat announced a clarion call to inaugurate comprehensive courses and establish benchmarks to ensure that the guardians at our gates not only uphold but excel the stringent standards set for their critical roles. This initiative isn’t about just ticking checkboxes; it’s about sculpting finesse in self-protection and fighting capabilities so these guardians can earn their worth, elevate their standing in society and seize the respect that accompanies expert proficiency.
With the spotlight turned towards their economic wellbeing, the proposal illustrates a vision wherein amplified security guard wages become the norm, reducing the restless tide of employee turnover, while also addressing the burgeoning void of these essential workers in the marketplace. The SSAT, now more than an association, but a voice for progress, encourages the addition of workshops that elucidate the intricacies of social welfare benefits, enhancing the understanding between employer and employee regarding lawful entitlements from wages to the deserving overtime premiums and beyond.
“Security guards are not just watchful sentinels but multi-talented stalwarts who invest relentless hours into their craft,” asserted Mr. Phiphat. “By empowering them with advanced skills, we nurture their career pride, boost their wage scale and, in the process, elevate the prestige of their vocation.”
The Ministry’s grand scheme promises an amalgamation of expertise, as the Royal Thai Police Headquarters and the army join forces to nominate the crème de la crème of instructors—each a connoisseur in the art of protection—dedicated to this noble cause.
The voice of the SSAT resonated through the words of Mr. Watcharapol as he acclaimed the ministry’s pledge to uplift the lives of the 400,000 strong fleet of security guards that form the protective tapestry across Thailand. As gratitude and anticipation intertwine, these guardians of our everyday commerce prepare to step into a future where their skills, pride, and security are not just protected but celebrated.
