Popular Post tomta Posted July 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2018 Earlier in the week, he met the province’s army representative, Col. Mongkut Kaewprom, who made the same request. Teerapon claims the colonel was concerned about the security of his job if a protest occurred Tuesday. “He asked me not to make any [political] move because he could be transferred as a result,” Teerapon said, referring to a Thursday meeting with Mongkut at the university. If this is true - and I see no reason not to believe it - what a spineless, pathetic sycophant Col. Mongkut must be. And what is worse, the junta is cultivating a culture of sycophancy and abjection. People like Col. Mongkut will get to keep their lousy jobs at the cost of the freedom of themeselves and the country. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We merely prepared security measures around the campus area prior to the PM’s visit,” Tharakorn added. Some people's definition of pressure is different than others! An offer to be locked up is just an offer...not pressure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chama Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Seems like there wasn't anyone here fooled....wonder if this made the Thai news? I doubt most Thais would be fooled either and would shake their head that this was considered necessary. Hope the protest take place anyway, freedom of speech and all that.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can speak on behalf of the 'Bolshevik' faction of Thaivisa ultra-cynics, (myself, Eligius, KiwiKiwi) probably nothing. A few families jostling behind the scenes perhaps, but business as usual for the sheeple. I hold no faith that anything is about to change soon, even with social media playing its part. Fine. Let them crack on with being a 'happy family', then. Who am I to disrupt it other than commenting on here? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
