Because if anyone asks you can just say you ‘borrowed’ them. If anyone asks to speak to the friend, you just say he’s dead. Amazing how low they’ll stoop to protect one of their own. And the PM wonders why people wouldn’t vote for him in a fair election. It just sums up true Thai Democracy. Simply there is none, always will be none an finally never ever become No. 1 in the world! Worst still, always treat the poorest as 2nd class citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpharma Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The NACC president should now ask why the general "received" so many matches worth millions... But however it demonstrates again how corrupt LOS is from top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Bull Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If you are in possession of something it would be hard to wriggle out of responsibility in a normal country. Imagine being stopped by a cop while driving with a beer in your hand ,telling the cop it belongs to Joe in the back seat, it would do no good when it's in your hand and you are drinking it.

End of investigation Aye, he could have stated he "farted" the 25 watches in his sleep and found them in the bed sheets in the morning, result would have been the same... Prayut would support his boss and explain that it totally makes sense. NACC (his staff) would conclude that since they appeared like this, there is not an hint of corruption and all is cleared. Poll would state everybody believe them. Even get a scientific study or two to confirm that some people do that... Case closed, stop asking questions now...

Jonmarleesco Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Really? If you borrow money to purchase a property, the property is your asset (unless your foreclosed), but you're buying it on borrowed funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral obligations imply the existence of morals; legal obligations, that Prawit, and the government. will follow the law. And if some generous friend really did lend him the watches, then conveniently died, shouldn't Prawit then be liable to some inheritance tax?

wotsdermatter Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) There appears to be somewhat of a contention here. First, I read that they belong to an unnamed friend. Second, I hear they came from a deceased friend. It would seem as if ht cannot make up his mind where, when, how, from whom he acquired these articles. Worth 10 million baht, that's a lot of graft down the line. How can a general make such money while "employed" with the military? Sorry, forgot, only I Thailand, they say. Third, has anybody seen any names from whom these "trophies" were from? Edited January 25, 2018 by wotsdermatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomacht8 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 In the history of all the governments of Thailand another shabby low. Before I was glad that the army had stopped the riots and has promised to fight corruption. Now they should better go and make place for more honest people.
