snoop1130 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Rivals left fuming as serving ministers join pro-Junta party By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter Industry Minister Uttama Savanayana arrives at Palang Pracharat Party executive meeting on Saturday. BANGKOK — News of four ministers under junta chairman Prayuth Chan-ocha joining the rank of a pro-government party was met with a chorus of criticism from Pheu Thai and Democrat politicians. Uttama Savanayana, Suvit Maesincee, Nuttapol Teepasuwan and Sontirat Sontijirawong confirmed their membership with Palang Pracharat Party on Saturday, even as they continued to serve in ministerial posts. Uttama was also elected leader of Palang Pracharat, widely seen as a proxy of the military regime.

zzaa09 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Remembering that they all secured their positions by illegal force and favoured appointments. Perhaps, they're sensing a true threat as to what a unsure future might bring. Very reasoned that they play the game to their advantage, changing the rules that befit themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossy Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) There's gonna be trouble before long, when these voices penetrate the thick skull of Khun Almighty. And they will . . . eventually. The intriguing question is how will he react, if at all? Edited October 1, 2018 by Ossy omisson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yellowboat Posted October 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2018 “They are both athletes and rulekeepers at the same time. How can we have a fair election?” Coups aren't fair. Why would anyone believe those who would take power by force would then surrender it ? Do bullies on the playground keep their word ? No, they do what they please. It will be difficult years for Thailand 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they do what they please. It will be difficult years for Thailand Most definitely a turgid tide to rectify, as the military and circles of particular influence have ruled the playground for ages. And still today, most just don't get the pretext of contemporary history as to the rhymes and reasons for the base existence of the military and their prime purpose. Do the inquiries have to be blatant? Whys and wherefores for all the coups and the military's stance for existence.

Denim Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Just another four sycophants crawling around the corridors of power with their pants down ready to take one ( or several ) for the team. They know which side their bread is buttered and just follow their nose to anything that fills the wallet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post baboon Posted October 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2018 The other parties need to loudly denounce the current proceedings and vocally boycott any election which may be held. If not, they are fine with having the p!ss taken out of them and deserve to be trampled over, as do the public they perportedly serve. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 When the junta has the treasury at their disposal...they can buy anyone.....and loyalty in Thailand, goes out the window, when money and the promise of a space at the trough ensues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You chose instead to consolidate your own grip and have a good slurp from the trough. And now you're fuming. Guess what, fume on dudes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wouldn't be much mayhem if the military do their job instead of decorating their check points with flowers. They have a mission to sabotage the government.

No, they could have just done their jobs instead and quelled the violence. The coup was far and away too far. Other countries are able to deal with such things without over throwing a government. The trouble is nobody is as popular as the Shinawatras. The elites want the Shinawatras marginalized. In your mind, it is okay to have a coup when most of the world seas it as a complete failure. You belong in Thailand if you think failure is a triumph. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, no, you don't like what I am saying. There is a difference. Actually I do have a clue what I am talking about but I am not given to fly off the handle should anyone dare to disagree with me. No wonder you are happy with the junta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reconciliation has to come from 2 parties, don't see any effort from you (not that you are a party in this anyway).
