Anyone else noticed how less vocal the junta lovers have become lately with all the amazing stuff coming from Uncle Too and his merry band of minions?
Even the Great Mass of People, the Muan Maha Prachachon has gone limp. Kasit has bailed, Chitpas failed to infiltrate RTP and Suthep has largely been ignored. This Adminstration not government as one poster correctly mentioned will just be another black mark in Thailand political history with no achievements just like the '06 coup. Sooner or later, the establishment must realized that this is not old times when the people can be subjugated. People are well informed now and their voices are getting louder and the world intolerance of military takeovers.

Whichever way the projects will be financed, there will be corruption. Project rules and condition especially the internal and external auditing must need to be strengthened to reduce corruption.

"Speed up election and returning democracy to the people". Puke time. Last recalled, the military try to sneak in clauses to include a 23 member panel that will take over the government which is more akin to a silent coup, non elected prime minister and more appointed senators. And the NLA vote was simply a political theater to prolong the junta stay in power. Sansern is a loyal military joke.

As reported by the press, this position was newly created and Chitpas is the only application and her qualifications fit the requirements to a T. If that don't aroused suspicion, what else will. She can easily get a good paying job from her uncle Suthep or join the military with blessing from godfather Prawit. Nope, she want to join the special created police position. Seem a very well plan coordinated effort for whatever reasons.

"Let's play by the rules. When he [Thaksin] was in office, I never interfered,"
Fact: Thaksin was overthrown in a military coup on 19 September 2006. Prayuth was a then Maj. General who helped army chief General Sonthi Boonyaratglin seize control of the Thaksin government.
Fact: Yingluck was overthrown in a military coup in May 2014 led by army chief Prayut who then abolished the Constitution.
I fear that Prayut at best has Alzheimer's disease or a Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), aka multiple personality disorder. Such a condition would be a national concern for Thailand's security.
You might want to do some reading up!
How so? Prayut was a Major General in 2006 and was instrumental in the 2006 coup. Here, you too can do some "reading up"
Will also help Elviajero to read up on Prayuth's involvement in setting up the Ahbisit government in the army barrack. He is clueless or just in denial.
What does Prayuth's involvement in forming the coalition got anything to do with the quote being discussed.
Just responding to your challenge for others to read up.

A horizontal move from NCPO member to head charter panel. Wouldn't expect much of a people charter.

He's fazed. Especially since he is being reminded of Thaksin while getting ready to go to the UN in NY. We know how well that turned out for Thaksin!
The timing of the meeting and he going away must be very disturbing for him. Yes he is fazed.

This woman should only receive a physical examination if it is in the interests of reconciliation.
She should not even get pass the application stage in most countries where individuals with serious misdemeanor and conviction will be disqualified. Even her extreme political affiliation will not deem her suitable. The junta is sending a wrong signal in the interest of reconciliation and reforing the police to be apolitical. See this as a personal push by her powerful general godfather.

First Democrats, then Herr Suthep and Budra Insana.....
Perfect malfunction made into a mind numbingly mediocre mentalist exercise.
Gathering of like minded people - Ex PAD and right wing loyalists. Fit right in with the junta.

Doubt the NACC has the guts to investigate the junta upper echelon for unusual wealth. Name a few will give the public the impression that they are doing their job.

If popular policies are aimed at leveling the inequality of any country, it is good. If you consider 80% of public spending went to only the 20% of the population in around Bangkok, the inequality is obvious. Sufficiently weak political institutions has allowed the rich elites to have a disproportionate wealth and influence on politics relative to their numbers. Whether it's call popular policies, subsidies, welfare, tax breaks, handouts or incentives; it is aimed to give help to the marginalized and support better income equality. Income inequality has rapidly increased over the years while our per capital GNP increase (Gini index). We should not label popular policies in one broad stroke as bad.

Give it another year or so until all opposition has been eliminated and then the REAL reconciliation can start, mai pen rai.
Actually no. Reconciliation can never start while Thaksin is in the picture.
Couldn't the same can be said that reconciliation can never start while Suthep is in the picture. if you factor in the Suthep and Prayuth collaboration, reconciliation is not the top agenda. Remember the war chant of Suthep and the continuing blame game by Prayuth? It's a pattern all too obvious and it's not about reconciliation.

Seen a lot of motor cyclists driving against the flow of the traffic and without lights. But still if the Korean drive at the normal allowable speed, the accident can be avoided. Doubt at that early morning, he will be drunk. More rushing to work like all expat Koreans.

She couldn't even win a seat for the Democrats in Bangkok and then had to resign from her political advisor role after she handed out calendars with photos of virtually nude women, promoting a beer company, in the (hallowed) grounds of government house. She is unusually awful.
She has all the rights to be aligned with any political faction and have her own political beliefs but when you disparage your own people and involved with physical altercation with the police, she crossed the line. A lot of people hate her for this even from her university when she was chosen as commencement speaker. Fortunately that didn't happen and Inope her withdrawal from her police officer application is true. But she has a godfather in a very high position which could change the situation. If that really happen, we have cronyism at its worst.

Not at all but I am against Thaksin and anyone supporting him having any real input as they are the ones who caused the majority of the problems that are being addressed by the present government.The ex FM put his all into his proposal just as he was instructed to by Thaksin. He is a example of another mouth piece reading from his bosses script.
A waste of newsptint just as is the space he occpies on this earth. He fits into the Thaksin mafia quite nicely.
You against reconciliation?
When the entire Thaksins faction mafia repay with intrest what they stole from the thai public, serve their prison time and all ill gotten assets are sold at public action, they should be given the oppurnity to express their ideas on reconcilation.
You really should go further and ask for Thaksin's head on the platter. That will solve Thailand problems last 50 years and next 50 years.

A people state he said. Meanwhile he approved Special Prospecting Licenses for 12 provinces to boost gold mining disregarding people's cry of health risk. Deeds not words, Sir.

No one from the PT party is really taking this very serious evident by their absolute silence. Using tort law is really unprecedented and not in this scale and could backfire big time. The MOF is just laying grounds for a lawsuit and whether they will proceed is another big question mark. There simple too much generalization for their prosecutors to master enough evidence. Without going through the judiciary process, this demand has no legal binding. Too much posting here that really too much ado for nothing.
Congratulations on passing the bar examination in Thai law.
I assume from your post that you are totally conversant with all aspects of Thai law and are now allowed to practise law in Thailand.
You are qualified I assume?
I thought he was a card carrying PTP member, trying to hose the situation down.
No actually. Just common sense Mike. You don't need to be a lawyer to know the law. Tort law is a common man law, is a civil wrong like when your neghbour dog take a chunk of your leg. Don't you see the disproportionatety. Wrong use of the law, I say and certainly no grounds for the lawsuit.
Seem the aggrieved parties are nonchalant and no need for me hosing down. It's a non starter for me. Well unless Prayuth use Art 44.

20 months in power and seem the past, previous and the presents mistakes are growing and no where we see any sign of tapering. Don't bet on him solving any of the mistakes. Just pray he don't aggravate and grow the mistakes to such insurmountable level that future governments will be handicapped with more burden.

No dent if corruption only targeted and no reform of the corruption agencies. Like to see an honest judiciary reform and fair dispensation of justice for all including the wealthy, rich and famous, incumbents, powerful overlords, uniforms and aligned politicians.

Blanket amnesty for all Shin and redshirt crimes.
Well if the army automatically get amnesty....... would not want double standards now would we......
What were the crimes of the army?
Undertaking a coup
No there just change an unelected (corrupt) caretaker government by an administrative government.
Yingluck loose her job by legal channel
Can't wait for Prayuth to say that in front of the foreign press at the UN defending the coup. Use comedy and may win over the global audience. Humour them to death

Bla bla bla, Hardcore Thaksinistas doing everything the man in Dubai orders, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES they get screwed over aka brainwashed again and again and again, they'd STILL follow him 4ever.
If you read the entire article, you may perhaps understand why they follow him 4 ever. Quote " compare to the Shin clan, Prayuth has done nothing for the farmers".

Prayut must be judged by Thais, not outsiders
in Thailand News
Posted
Whoever it be, apparently Prayuth and the establishment knows the outcome and scared stiff which warrant serious attempts to re-write the rules to their advantage. If Thais be the judge today, the establishment would not stand a chance.
