As i say many times, no better way to start the day, than with a good laugh.

Reading the above statement is just laughable that the clowns expect people to believe he did not break corruption law.

Yeah he did Col and he has got ofplenty of mates in the government who do also. They call it while collar crime and easier to get away with than blue collar crime

Prawit...claimed the diamond ring belonged to his mother

His mom owns a man's ring? And it fits his finger? And it is in his possession? And then where did mom get all this money? Farcical from every angle.

“Are we adhering to the rule of law or do we simply use it to favour some influential people?, ” he asked.

 

Law academics and judges must debate on this important matter, he suggested.

How about letting the population debate

this puzzling question, I'm sure they'll be

able solve it fairly quickly. 

Genuine watch for a upper class fake.

I think it is important, to remain consistently aware of the fact that the number one priority of this administration is to protect everyone in the army, and the administration, as well as all high ranking police, immigration and customs officers, the super wealthy, those that are well connected, and those who are very influential. So, this outcome was never in doubt. Ever. Not for one nanosecond.

 

Righteousness, although the army loves to preach it, talk about it, and push the concept on the people, is something they rarely ever practice. 

[Misterwhisper]

And now, ladies and gentlemen, is the opportune time for NACC to finally drop the charade and remove the "A" from its name to become what it has been all along, the NCC.

 

Also post-mortem congratulations to Mr. Prawit's (late) mother for having been brave enough during her lifetime to acquire and wear what clearly looks like a MALE diamond ring. What an emancipated move!

 

Oh, and I almost forgot... Wasn't it established that Mr. Prawit allegedly owned at least 30 obscenely expensive wristwatches? Why no investigation into the other 29? Indeed, he, himself, once admitted that he was an avid collector of luxury watches -- despite eking out a living on a comparatively meager general's pension.

If and when they get rid of this military (non-democratic) junta, stacked Senate and crooked Generals, they will have to build bigger prison's to hold them all.

Does this really matter ? This man is in a group of people who know absolutely that they are above the law ????

[robertson468]

How very sad that yet again, due to the deceipt of a Politician, Thailand yet again becomes the laughing stock of the World.  I can just imagine Politicians around the World saying, "what are these Guys on!"

In this culture you spend your life trying to build social prestige and reputation.

 

Second most important is trying to avoid to make others lose social prestige once you are up there.

 

Honesty is equal Stupidity in their mindset.

 

Financially motivated non violence crime is absolutely accepeted.

He did remember the friend's name, unfortunately the friend had died some time before.

Yes he returned the watches to the dead friend.

[holy cow cm]

Two sets of laws and rules for the public and then for his Wealthy Military Elite club having immunity. The excuse stated is so close to the excuse a Thai student gives to the teacher for not having the homework i.e.: The family buffalo ate it!

[herwin1234]

he didnt declare a luxury watch and a diamond ring....if thats all the dirt the concerned netizens have on him, thats pretty meager.

anyway, great job done by the red shirt agitators...

Did you actually expect a different outcome ? This is not a Thailand problem. This is a worldwide problem. There is a two tiered justice system in the West as well as in Asia. There is one set of rules for those of power and privilege and another set you you and me. 

i am not sure but if you forgot to declare something, lets say at the border, maybe it would be confiscated, or pay a small fine. You wouldnt go to jail, or loose yr job. 

So he didnt declare some luxury items, so what. he isnt punished hard, just like you and me wouldnt be pushed in front of a the train.

Trusted Thailand, now there's an oxymoron.

[Oztruckie]

Load of <deleted>.he had multiple watches worth millions.

On here sticking up for the crooks as usual 

[thurien]

just another fine example of the Thai leading class playing their favourite game "charade", the Thai version comprises the famous elements "run & hide, lay 5 tracks but all of them dead after a while, lie wide-eyed / smilingly, plant a desaster into the future by using friends and friends of friends, steal openly, deny before being interrogated, accuse your neighbour/pal/family/peer/dentist etc. of wrongdoings, keep most assets overseas (or stash away in cash under your bed), buy dozens of SIM cards registered by a friend in Singapore, always keep 40 names & addresses each of Burmese, Laos, Khmer labourers ..."

He's mother must have really chubby fingers and has he returned these watches to the friend who's name he couldn't remember.

I was thinking the same thing, seems to fit him almost as it was made for him, ehm

[Caldera]

They can clear him all day, every day. They can clear him left, right and center.

 

To me though, he will always be the Watchman.

 

Edited to add: By Thai standards, I would imagine there's immense shame in the fact alone that he had to wait this long to be vindicated. By a body stacked with guys he and his friend (the one who's still alive) handpicked. Now, I do realize it was a very complex and thorough investigation, but still. Makes me chuckle.

Will interesting to see what parlours open & how many comply!!
