Popular Post Hayduke Posted September 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, nobodysfriend said: Shortly after sunrise on Sunday, protesters cemented a plaque near the Grand Palace in Bangkok in the area known as Sanam Luang, or Royal Field. It reads, “At this place the people have expressed their will: that this country belongs to the people and is not the property of the monarch as they have deceived us.” It will be interesting to see what will happen to this plaque ... I guess it will just disappear ... Yes, It must be disappeared removed for any/all of the following reasons…. - Because the plaque design was not reviewed and approved by the chairman, sub-chairman and a quorum of Plaque Committee members. - Because the students did not submit their application for a Plaque Permit (six copies) to the Plaque Committee a minimum of 60 days prior to the proposed date of installation. - Because even had the Plaque Permit been issued, they still would have needed to apply to the Plaque Installation Committee for a Plaque installation Permit (six copies) 90 days in advance. - Because the plaque is associated with ‘Democracy’...which is a foreign word and it’s use it is synonymous with treason, sedition, subversion, and…is harmful to the good reputation of the army.

Popular Post DrTuner Posted September 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) I was wondering if TVF, owned by Nation, would mention the protests at all. I guess they were grinding their teeth since it's now news. Nice touch with the plaque. Let's see how long it is allowed to remain in place.

Airbagwill Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 There is a history of the authorities massacring students - in particular Thammasat students. Lets hope this time the presence of phones and social media will prevent this.....however the new CoC of the army in October does not bode well. Only in Thailand would a coup organised by the PM who organised the last coup could be considered a possibility by 58% of th population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampyThai Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I have noticed a few comments regarding a spike in Covid-19 will occur due to many of these protesters in close proximity not wearing a mask. How can this be? Thailand does not have Covid-19 or so we are led to believe. ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted September 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2020 Kudos to the courageous and visionary youth of this country. Without them, Thailand has no future, both literally, and figuratively. Much change and progress is needed, and the era of the dinosaurs must end soon. Defiance is a beautiful thing, when what you are defying is tyranny, repression, utter indifference towards the common man, fear, and incompetence. The toxic army needs to go. They are despised by most of the nation. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomauasia Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) World leaders have proven to.be spineless cowards while China laughed. I would have leveled your rat hole. These protesters have shown courage under fire. Yes Prayut should go. His achieved nothing. You can't keep rigging elections and standing over people. You never reformed the RTP..But you come out swinging for REBULLL. LOL Thai rules but you played dumb. You took money from the REDBULL for COVID and you are a funny man.

But i guess now it would be a good timing for Cha Cha to come up whit some real numbers of the covid19 , then him can blame the student but then again how will that be possible since Thailand no have covid19 , then your hero Cha Cha will be a liaer then !!!!

Popular Post Golden Triangle Posted September 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2020 I sincerely hope that the ranks of this movement swell rapidly, the greater the numbers the more there voices & actions will be taken notice of, almost every one these days has access to the internet and foreign news reports of uprisings, rebellions against dictators is now commonplace, look at Belarus or Hong Kong as recent examples, these intelligent individuals want & need a better future than that being offered them at the moment by today's ruling classes, aka The Dinosaurs. As for the new plaque, if it's still there this time next week I would be very surprised, this may prove to be the catalyst that escalates this whole episode to what could be a very dark period indeed, I hope not, but that depends on the actions/ reactions of the current government and above. Good luck Thailand, you're going to need it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like 1973 again when they arrested 12 leaders of the protest only to see the protest go viral. I was in Bangkok then and it was ugly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
