‘I’ve done nothing wrong’ says Prawit about his watches

By The Nation

 

Gen Prawit.

 

Deputy PM General Prawit Wongsuwan said on Thursday that he has not yet done anything wrong in regard to his possession of the luxury watches.
 

The deputy PM was responding to the growing call for him to resign over the ongoing watch scandal, which began with a Cabinet group photo last December in which he was spotted wearing an expensive watch and a diamond ring. It was later learned that the items had not been reported to the National Anti-Corruption Commission, as required by the law.

 

Photos were compiled on social media and widely shared showing Prawit wearing more watches, up to 25, on various occasions.

 

Prawit said the issue needs to wait for the NACC’s ruling. He has clarified the issue following the legal procedures required, he added.

 

Social advocate Ticha Nanakorn on Wednesday submitted a petition to NACC president Pol General Watcharapol Prasarnrajkit urging him to expedite the probe.

 

Ticha on January 31 started a campaign on Change.org which has garnered over 80,000 petitioners calling on Prawit to resign.

 

Ticha said that even though Prawit had last week submitted to the NACC a fourth written explanation about the origin of the watches, it remained unclear whether the agency would summon him for a meeting or take any other action. 

 

“Society is suspicious about the NACC’s action in this case,” she said. 

 

She also questioned why the NACC has not disclosed any detail about the case. People want to know how Prawit obtained the watches and why he was repeatedly allowed to fend off NACC calls for clarification, she said.

 

On Tuesday, the NACC panel in charge of the matter said it would submit its preliminary findings to the NACC board next week. 

 

NACC secretary-general Worawit Sukboon said yesterday the panel had received a 38-page letter detailing the origins of the 25 expensive watches that Prawit has been seen wearing on various occasions. 

 

The deputy PM has never declared any of them as personal financial assets, as required by law.

Well, that is the end of that, isn't it?

 

I mean, why would he lie?

 

I certainly believe that he came across 25 expensive watches which he couldn't possibly afford on his salary and there is a legitimate, reasonable explanation.

Hmm... I wonder why?

 

Has the NACC ever done anything which would make one suspicious?

 

Curiouser and curiouser...

 

 

[Chang_paarp]

I suspect the letter to the NACC went along the lines of;
"Look what just happened to the Electoral Commissioner."

 

Expecting a "nothing to see here" report.

I guess human existance on our planet comes to mind.

Nothing wrong? Please explain how you can afford them,  without the dead friend crap.

has not Yet done anything wrong; inline with his lack of intelligence; marches to his own twisted morality

[kannot]

Shows  normal Thai traits

[rkidlad]

Anyone who thinks this investigation is in any way normal or by the book is a complete <deleted> idiot. 

 

Done nothing wrong? Even if he genuinely did borrow all 25 watches, (of course he didn’t) he’s shown contempt for the people.

 

When you take over a country in the name of stopping corruption, don’t go out wearing ostentatious jewelry. And if you are so stupid to do it and get seen, prove your innocence straight away, grovel and apologize, and then resign. 

[colinneil]

What people fail to realize is, in his own twisted mind he thinks he has done nothing wrong.

Lying , cheating, scamming is the norm, he thinks.

Mr Magoo and The Frog Whisperer didn't take over the country with gun so they could be accountable to the Thai people.

They don't give a <deleted> about 99% of Thai's.

 

The watches are just the pointy end of a very end of a massive iceberg these crooks have skimmed since taking over.

[starky]

So back to square one then? Nothing wrong then not my watches and then 5 or 6 extensions and then rinse and repeat till its forgotten like near everything else here. Pathetic to most from 1 st world nations but just a way of life here in the feudal nations.

This alone should be reason enough to sack him. And how about his undeclared unusual wealth?

[mikebell]

Now had he been picking mushrooms, he would have been jailed by now.

If that was the case , why did it take so long to come up with an answer ? 

[Colabamumbai]

Two people need to resign here. Their names are obvious.

These aging dinosaurs Generals aren't used to having people having the temerity to question them. They have demigod status, and are beyond reproach.      Newsflash, this is 2018 and you are in a public office, so your ARE accountable... 

[anon467848]

Prawit should get one of these watches.....

Your comment is chillingly accurate.

 

It points out that, just like history schoolbooks are written by those who win wars and revolutions, the notions of right and wrong tend to be established by the wealthy, famous and powerful, in order to contain the poor, unknown and powerless, and keep them in their place.

 

It is painfully clear, all around the world, that people who have money, power and fame, consider themselves to be above the law. It's not that they don't know right from wrong, only that they think it doesn't concern them.

The bigger question is: “who is watching the watchers?

‘I’ve done nothing wrong’

Watch gate only tip of the iceberg of corrupt deeds that this general and other top generals steal from the tax payers. The coup is time for rich harvesting for them and they will delay election to satisfy their greed. Who will be fool that they seized power to eradicate corruption except some seriously myopic and bigoted supporters.
