If I am reading this article correctly, it looks like the only guy who has lost his job over the corruption scandal is the guy who blew the whistle on the scam:

"Witthaya Kaewparadai yesterday removed a health official who revealed the connection between a senior health official and a politician over medical equipment procurement irregularities under the Thai Khemkhaeng budget."We will move those health officials from their positions immediately if we find they are causing difficulties for the investigation," he said.

Dr Suchart Laoboripat, director of the Regional Public Health Administration Bureau who is also responsible for listing the medical equipment purchases, told the lower House committee that the senior health officer, a former high level health officer, and politicians were involved in the irregularities.

"Everything I said was the truth but there was not take a brave person to tell it," he said after he was ordered by the minister to give up his post.

Witthaya said the Public Health Ministry's permanent secretary Dr Paijit Warachit reported that a probe conducted by a fact-finding panel led by Dr Seri Hongyok found only senior health officers involved in the scandal - no politicians were named. But Witthaya accepted yesterday that politicians were involved in irregularities after seeing a summary of incidents recorded by Suchart and distributed to the media."

I wonder if the Thais even have a word for "whistle blower."
