george Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thaksin says he will teach after returning to Thailand Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said he would seek a job as a teacher after he returns to Thailand in the future. Thaksin made the statement in a video clip published by Hi-Thaksin.net website. He said he was staying with his children in London and feel a little bit lonely. He said he was trying to acquire more knowledge about various parts in the world so that he could use his knowledge to teach students in the future. -- The Nation 2007-03-12 Thaksin offers help to students on scholarship from lottery proceeds Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra said he had learnt that some students, who are studying abroad on scholarships from two and three-digit lottery proceeds, have been in financial crisis after the cancellation of the lottery. Thaksin said he would like to help such students through the Thaicom Foundation set up by his family. He said students in the lottery scholarship programme, who are in need of financial assistance for their study, could contact the foundation for help. Thaksin was speaking in a video clip published by Hi-Thaksin.net site. -- The Nation 2007-03-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbowman1993 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 That ass clown doesn't miss a trick, does he? Underhanded jabs at the government for putting the kibash on his lottery scheme, while cloaking himself in the generous light, by giving away money. (or at least offering). Sure would be great to see pure selfless acts of goodwill from the phu yais in this country. Just giving, for the benefit of man. They could all follow the lessons of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Ted Turner in that regard.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, offering to help students who are short of money because the gov't stopped the program that was funding them is really a terrible thing to do.

What if he was? Seriously, how many students on that lottery funding are we talking about? If it's 10, no big deal. If it's 1000s, that's a lot of potential supporters...

jbowman1993 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Right......Thaksin was being sincere (one of his strong points)....Why didn't I think of that? Its all so clear now.

Yes Grover, you are absolutely right! He does need to drop the BS but when human characteristics were being handed out, he jumped out of the line up for humility and got a double helping of arrogance. Apologize is not in Toxin's dictionary. He needs to spend some time inside a 10 x 10 cell in Bang Kwang first, then he may have something to teach youngsters.

dominique355 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I think we all can learn a lot from him: - tax evasion, - lying at the Court and get away with it, - big scale corruption - how to make your brother-in-law happy, - how to make your maid earn millions ... - Buying land in Kho Chang and subsequently make the Government pay for the development - ...

sriracha john Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Too bad he wasn't Professor Thaksin when his son was caught cheating on an exam at Ramkhamhaeng University.

Scott Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I am no fan, but I think it's rather nice that he has decided to help some of the people who will be hurt by the gov't changes. He targeted a group he is more or less responsible for. Now, lets see if he carries through with his "help" and just how much "help" they actually get. As for being a teacher--Great! He's taught all of Thailand some important lessons, and maybe even some other countries if they are paying attention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder people are in such a panic when Thailand announces it wants to build a nuclear plant, and watch the airport fall apart. I wonder if they will ever learn that a diploma is just a piece of paper. Thank goodness non Thai engineering companies test their employee candidates before they hire them.

John K Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Seeing is Thaksin is a business man he will sell the grades, 1000 ThB per point sounds about right. That certainly matches his method to keep the voter base uneducated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammered Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Actually if when he does return as he will, it would be good if he took the time to become a qualified teacher and then worked in an upcountry school, or even became a junior university lecturer in business. That would be a better example to set than any he has so far. However, I doubt if he really has this in mind although I hope to be proved wrong. Thailand really could do without some lecture circus like seen in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
