bangrak Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) One would lose one's count with all the political parties this man Thaksin has his dirty hands in: forget about the past ones, now there would be the PTP (Thaksin thinks, PTP does), then there were two(!) more parties created a few weeks ago, and now this TRC party, makes four, enough tyres for a car, with eventually that FFP as spare wheel... What a pantomime from this convicted, and further endicted, criminal! How much must he, and his clan, miss the money trough! But when PTP is being 'surgically removed' as the cancer growth it is for the country, why not do the same with these three metastasis, even a potential fourth one, and anything to follow? Simple as that. When performing such a medical intervention, the surgeons also have to remove possibly sound tissues too close to the degenerate growths, isn't it ...? Though hard to understand it is that, until now, 'the origins of the disease', the evil bits, have not been 'removed', once and for all. Is this Shinawatra mafia clan still that powerfull in Thailand nobody is able to have them sent to their next life (well, when they would be true Buddhists...)?

The yellow/greens created these laws to use them against their ennemies. They will never let their ennemies use these laws against them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch the surface of almost any Thai/Asian politician and you find what I call a 'son of' or a 'daughter of'. Scratch the surface of the Thai military's generals and you find a 'son of'. Scratch the surface of Thai/Asian big business and you find a 'son of' or a 'daughter of'. Scratch the surface of a leader in a Thai/Asian bureaucracy and you find a 'son of' or a 'daughter of'. The American notion of "All men were created equal..." is truly a Western concept, not an Eastern one. Yes, inevitably someone will come along and state that Western societies do the same, but it isn't to the same extent or prevalence.

That is why they are just two sides of the same coins.. junta are thugs but so are the PTP.. that is why both of them are NOT a solution for the future. BUT unfortunately the only 2 who have a chance... and so the problems go on until the Thai populace understands they have to break away from corruption and with it all the current parties. Only new parties are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the problem is they don't understand or want to understand anything beyond the end of each day, so unlikely anything will change in the near future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying this for years, the vast majority of local folks don't want to think past tomorrow, however IMHO they will start to wake up / get vocal / start asking questions / start demanding when suddenly en masse people can see that your average person / family in surrounding countries clearly have a much better quality of life, they have good education opportunities, they share in their countries prosperity, a large % of the population own bigger better houses / many families take overseas holidays and are not frightened to explore. When locals can see see all of the above clearly then IMHO they will re-act; hey what happened in Vietnam, China, Indonesia, and longer-term possibly Myanmar etc? How come we don't have all of that in Thailand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you really think that the PTP is going to change anything back from what the junta has done i think you will be wrong. Everyone's suffering now including Thai people...... I've never heard Thais say a bad word about Thais or Thailand, but recently it's a nightly nursery rhyme in the taxi home........ It's not a happy situation...... something will have to change........ The land of smiles has become the land of worried people,,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately this new generation is becoming more aware, you can see this in many of the current universitsity students, more aware, more questioning, although still a little reserved - but it is changing, in the next few years this change ever further, for the benefit of everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chama Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 And the hits just keep on coming...will there be a chance that someone with the Thai society's best interest, runs and campaigns well enough to win? So far very few lining up appear to have anything other than their own interest in mind and the Thais will have to pick the least of all evils.

You certainly didn't display any when you were education minister for 3 or 4 years. In fact you tackled nothing and achieved nothing. The well known massive corruption in this ministry was untouched during his tenure (and many other governments also did nothing). 3 or 4 years as education Minister , doubtful, they changed Ministers every second month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
