Future Forward MPs dared to identify person making offer in sound clip

Sira Jenjaka , Palang Pracharath Party's MP for Bangkok , today (February 25) dared MPs from Future Forward party reveal identity of the man claimed to have offered money and government positions for them to join the government party. Future Forward party was dissolved in a Constitutional Court ruling a few days ago. 

 

" The person who released the audio clip must prove its authenticity and not fake news. If the offer had actually been made, he/she should report it to the authority while he/she would be held responsible for spreading misinformation if the audio was ingenuine, " Sira said. 

 

If its authenticity is confirmed, Sira said, the person making the offer in the clip would have violated section 30 of the Political Party Act prohibiting any political party or anyone offering or promise to give money, property or any other benefits whether directly or indirectly to motivate any person to apply for membership, and section 31 which , prohibits anyone from soliciting or accepting money, property or any other benefits from a political party or from anyone to apply for membership, including recipients and donors who may also be charged under criminal law.

 

Bencha Saengchantra, a party-list MP from the dissolved Future Forward party, said on February 24 that a person called her to persuade the party's MPs to join the government party in exchange for Bt23 million.

Is he sure he wants them to do that?

I am Spartacus!

Wouldn't that then become 'defamation' if they identify the person in the sound clip?  Genuine bribe attempt or not.  

what nonsense they go on with ....

Why bother? After what they just did to FFP, the puppet court would just be good little puppets on orders from the big puppet and rule as they are instructed. Just a futile exercise.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Just smile that silly smile when you're censored and know that you are (almost) untouchable.

Just let them play their stupid pre-kindergarten games, keeps them occupied  - and while occupied they can do less damage to the already sinking ship.

It doesn't matter in Thailand; even if you tell the truth you can still be sued for libel.  It's how many big noises keep the masses silent; ie the ones who cannot afford a lawyer.

I'll do it for 3 million

Wait please so I can get popcorn; Thai democracy is going into overdrive now. What a pharse, the whole thing; just make sure it does not go tilt or better - t"*s up!
