He wore it to spite all of you peasants and a stare down 'so what' attitude. As long as the junta PM tolerate and practice double standard on corruption for his family, friends and cronies, the news will fade and he will will be doing another in you face stunt soon. Remember these are the untouchables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskunkel Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 General Bling doesn't care about: Thai people, his posture, his credibility, his weight, Thai people, his demeanor, the law, his rhetoric, Thai people not much difference compared to many politicians in power..., except he is not so smart - he is a sly-one, though. Is he a doctor, yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perjury, what perjury? See Greenchair excellent post. It is about asset declaration and the NACC attitude towards the junta's corruption and others.

lincolnshire poacher Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 5 hours ago, Samui Bodoh said: Hmm... Thanks to the Nation for providing the income of others who wear such a watch. I wonder how Prawit's income stacks up? Most definitely a case for the NACC, but either they will find nothing out of the ordinary (as always for non-Reds) or they will refer it to the military which will find that it meets all regulations without actually specifying which regulations. Hmm... Any one care to bet that this is the last public chapter in this story? It is probably a 2,000 baht copy, as Mr Prawit could not possibly afford a genuine one on a military, com junta salary. As for his other adornments,they are also fakes for the same reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also a complete no-no for a public official to wear such a watch. In addition the suggestion that he 'saved' up his money for that purchase a joke in bad taste.

Does the fact that he transferred millions of baht to her before her taking office make it more acceptable? My comparison is of a DPM who has a watch he could not afford from his earnings, with a PM, with similar value of bling, far in excess of her earnings. If this watch was a gift by somebody seeking political favours it would reek of corruption, but apparently that standard doesn't apply when you're elected.

They all have at least one by certainly a lot more, with the hundreds millions dollar that they have in banks... What is more interesting (to me at least), is the motivation behind wearing it. One does not put on a wristwatch and a diamond ring automatically, in the same way you might clean your teeth or put on your shoes. It's a conscious decision, and because it's a conscious decision, it reflects ones needs/desires of the day. Since he's a Thai, I'm betting the motivation was to impress. But all he's managed to do is demonstrate what an intellectual pygmy he is. Not that anyone will do anything about it of course (I've got section 44, I can do anything I want to you if you say anything I don't happen to like - look what people think happened to Ko Tee.). Interesting how he feels the need to impress his underlings though. Perhaps he isn't feeling as secure as he would like. With any luck.

quadperfect Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The investigation will reveal its a fake. End of story. These guys are innocent. Nothing they do is wrong. They are the people for the job. Now everyone shut up and stop looking for these kind of details will you. I mean why would a guy who has the thai publics best interest own a watch that could feed bangkoks poor for 20 years. Geeze people.
