snoop1130 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Supporters create Facebook page for beleagered Deputy PM Prawit By The Nation A new Facebook page has been created to support and defend Deputy Premier and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, who has been embattled with damaging scandals recently. The page is in Thai and its title is translated as “Uncle Pom’s Lovely Side”. Pom is General Prawit’s nickname. Newly created on August 23, the page has attracted more than 800 followers and a post announces that it is run by “a group of people who support Uncle Pom”. There are also posts containing messages in support of Prawit, news reports in favour of the ruling junta, and video clips defending Prawit against allegations. One of the videos is about the wristwatch scandal, in which Prawit claimed the more than two dozen luxury watches he was spotted wearing in recent years were borrowed from his now-deceased wealthy friend. The webpage described Prawit, who is in charge of the government’s security affairs, as a reliable man who has been trusted by the armed forces for over five decades, and also a former commander well loved by his colleagues and “brothers” in the Army. Prawit has faced backlash from his comments on controversial issues, such as the death of a military cadet under suspicious circumstances and the capsizing of a tour boat in which many Chinese tourists drowned.

z42 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Obviously there is boot licking, but this is pure gutter level conduct. OK so he's fat, he's bald, he's a bully, he's a proven serial liar, he's got very limited compassion, he's very unusually wealthy etc etc... I can't think of 1 redeeming feature, can anyone else? The people behind the page probably couldn't even spell shame let alone feel it.. <deleted> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me calculate it through quickly: wife and children, various mia nois and their retinues, siblings, in-laws, uncles, grand parents, aunts, nieces and nephews, cousins, relatives two and three times removed, close aides, assorted sycophants, coat-tail riders and other individuals who benefit from "Pom" one way or another... yes, that figure seems about right.
