webfact Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Prawit again seeks fifth extended time to clarify his pricey watches By Thai PBS The deputy prime minister has sought another extension of the deadline to submit written explanation of his pricey watches to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) when it dues today. NACC deputy secretary-general Worawit Sukboon said Gen Prawit has sought to postpone giving a written explanation despite the deadline expires today. But he said he couldn’t say whether the NACC would give him more time to clarify on the issue. He said the NACC is gathering evidence and giving him a chance to clear himself off all allegations Full story: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/prawit-seeks-fifth-extended-time-clarify-pricey-watches/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2018-03-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HooHaa Posted March 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Hes not entirely stupid. Obviously very reluctant to make a statement which can be checked and may later be used against him. In delaying his response, he is refraining from acknowledging any potential wrongdoing and effectively ignoring or denying any charges or culpability.

Popular Post Eligius Posted March 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 Isn't this now way beyond, beyond, beyond, beyond and beyond a joke? How can the Thai 'officials' and 'reporters' speak of all this stuff with a straight face? And therein lies the whole problem: grovelling to Authority, and gutlessness to stand up and fight for Principle and against evil. If certain countries in the West had just appeased, appeased and appeased Fascism and not risked EVERYTHING to fight against it, they would not have the freedom of expression and freedom of conscience which they enjoy today. Imagine having 'Speakers' Corner' in Thailand? You would be clapped in irons after 2 minutes! But if MILLIONS of Thais insisted on having their say and defying the 'authorities' (who have zero MORAL authority) - that would be a VERY different story indeed ... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT is the whole problem of the Thais. But as another poster pointed out elsewhere, the younger generation may be getting smarter and more outspoken (via social media, no less!). But will there be enough of them?? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eric Loh Posted March 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 With NACC procrastinating to help out Prawit and the CDC dirty tricks to delay the election; just the right tonic for more people on the streets.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 No, I ask you Mr. Prawit to stop. Stop deceiving your people. Stop stealing massive sums of money. Stop being so incompetent. Stop lying, cheating, stealing and deflecting. Stop! Stop! Get out! Get out! Leave now. Keep just one promise. Is that even possible for you? The people are getting restless, and you are getting nervous. For good reason. You should be nervous. You are not wanted. You are no good. You are a foul deceiver. You are a fool. His and Little P's personal motto may as well be - I promise to move Thailand backwards at a breath taking and alarming pace, and never, ever do anything to benefit the Thai people. I will continue to do everything I can to protect the elite, the super wealthy, the connected, and those in office, either in the police, my administration, or the army. These little men simply do not exist, in my consciousness. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Anythingleft? Posted March 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 Another public display of, yes, yes we have laws and nobody is unnacountable....along with the poaching debacle by another high profile Thai. Unfortunately it is only a display and of little or no consequence, it is then played to death until the little people either forget or lose interest.Normal operations resume. To be fair it seems if they removed all of the corrupt personnel in this countries administrations and governing systems then there would be very few left at all....There does seem to be a ray of hope with social media though, and the way that the younger Thais have grasped how powerful it can be to at least keep exposing what they see..Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
