Popular Post webfact Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 Chuan vows to make parliament an institution dedicated to the people House Speaker Chuan Leekpai has vowed to make the Thai Parliament an institution recognized by the Thai people and by the international community as the model of an organization which respects the laws and on which the people can rely. On New Year’s Eve, Mr. Chuan, who is also parliament president, said that, throughout 2019 both the House of Representatives and the Senate had been doing the best they could. He said he would like all MPs to realize their importance as lawmakers and to work with honour and for the people’s benefit, after the country did not have an elected parliament for five years under junta’s rule, adding that it is not unusual that the present parliament is viewed in a negative light, domestically and externally.

Popular Post Just1Voice Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 Be a little tough, when you have a PM who stacked the deck with 200 or so of his "closest advisors" and then ran a rigged election to make sure he won. The Thai people recognise it already, for the farce it is. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CGW Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 So, 81 year old career politician now decides after over 50 years "serving" the people that parliament will be "dedicated to the people" shame he didn't decide this a little earlier in his very lucrative career! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofacloud Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Thai people can surely rely on the fact that the laws respected by the parliament will serve the ultra-rich establishment. I mean, he really is speaking the truth, just wrapping it in a little bit of redundant semantics, so that your typical Somchai gets a bit confused and goes for another shot of lao khao to grease his mental processes a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donutz Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Could this be a New Year's gift? Resignation of the trictator, all those 'former' junta henchmen, the hand picked Election Commission, Constitutional Court, the senators and scrapping this thing they dare call a constitution. Would be a good start. If only.... Or the guy just has a great sense of humour. Those running the show in the last few years are not doing it for the greater good of the general public. Funny guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally amazing that he could make such a statement with a straight face when in realty, he and his band of trough sloppers are as crooked as his yellow tie. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new initiative for 2020....quite novel, but I doubt it will be popular.....for example, it would need a quorum for parliament sessions....and that rarely happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 To make Parliamant an organisation that respects the law they need to remove the law which grants immunity for MPs and senators in the event they are allegedly involved in any criminal activity. It would also be nice if they were to remove any MPs with a criminal record! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai don't have a parliament,they have a Trictator and what is called by some the "Thai Parliament".If Chuan is making this vow now then he is admitting that the current Thai people and the international community don't respect the current laws made by a bunch of law breakers.
