A fair difference I think. Is it not, then, an equally fair question to ask if Prawit's family was rich, or is that something that can't be considered because of your prejudice?

I doubt it, but hope I am proven wrong. It is people like him who drags (further?) down the standing of his country in the eyes of the world.

What, so far, has he been proved to have done wrong? What, so far, has he done to ease the public’s worries about his ‘alledged’ corruption? You know, with this story being of huge public interest.

Acharn Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 That's certainly true about the Prem government. My wife and I were trying to get permission to take her son, whom I had adopted, to the States. My wife, being a simple Northeastern uneducated woman, tried to pass an unmarked envelope to an official in one of the agencies we were involved with. The official was horrified, threatened to throw our application out, and asked if my wife was trying to get her in trouble. Later, I was dealing with the Department of Commerce and the Customs House down by the Khlong Toey Port. There were signs everywhere saying, "You are not required to pay anything except what is shown in the official schedule." He really cleaned up the whole government, but, of course, when Chatichai brought his "buffet cabinet" in things were worse than ever. Then the junta that threw Chatichai our was even worse than him. The current group is surprisingly restrained in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have come out from day one with assurances. He also should have said he'd borrowed many other watches. But being so arrogant, he thought he could just swat his hand and it would all be over. No one would dare question him further. Now he has 25 watches to account for (and we'll probably see more in the future). If it were me, and I backed a coup of my country saying one of the big reasons was because corruption, well, I wouldn't be wearing expensive watches in any capacity. And even if I genuinely did borrow all 25 (hard to say that with a straight face) I'd resign in embarrassment for being so stupid. How could I have been so stupid to be going around in public with such expensive watches. How utterly vulgar and crass. I've been a right div and I deserve the wrath of the public.

For my part, were Prawit to resign, I would be heartbroken and would wonder how the country could possible go on functioning without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeray Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 If he had used a smart phone instead to tell time (like all the common folk), he would have avoided all this disgrace.

I haven't defended him once as you would know if you had noticed that I use the qualification "so far" when commenting on the ongoing investigation that has found him guilty of nothing, so far. What I have done is comment on the deliberately inaccurate observations, claims and accusations, not to mention the wild speculations that almost every poster here seems to take great delight in making. "He also has a lot more explaining to do about his excessive wealth..." That's an example of what I mean. He doesn't have any explaining to do unless an investigation is started about that and so far that hasn't happened. Prawit has no obligation at all to disclose his wealth, nor explain it, until he leaves office and even then he only has to explain any increases that happened during the time he was in office.

Of course, you have absolute faith in the guy in charge at the NACC pulling out all the stops in the investigation into his boss? Most of us on here, justifiably, based on previous corruption cases, expect a simple statement (eventually) that the investigation has concluded that everything was satisfactorily explained by Prawit and that everything was in order. Unfortunately for the Government, if that turns out to be the case, they will not get away with it this time, unlike when the Army investigated the Army's handling of the special "7 Statue" Park in Hua Hin, where they predictably found that there was no corruption, despite considerable evidence to the contrary.

He was given 30 days in which to provide an explanation to the NACC which he did and no one, apart from the NACC, knows how many days he took because that has not been made public.
