Popular Post webfact Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 By Erich Parpart The pressure group Samakkhi Prachachon visited Government House on Tuesday to hand in a 17-point open letter on the alleged wrongdoings of Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-ocha since the coup of 2014. The premier “never tells the truth,” said Jatuporn Prompan, co-leader of Samakkhi Prachachon and chairman of the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship. “He said that there would be no coup. He also said he wanted to get rid of corruption, but he hasn’t done anything about it.” Full story: https://www.thaienquirer.com/28576/pressure-group-issues-17-point-takedown-of-prayuts-track-record/ -- © Copyright Thai Enquirer 2021-06-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post soi3eddie Posted June 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2021 "The prime minister said during the senate meeting on Monday that he never once put money into his own pocket over the past seven years." Thai Enquirer. What he really means is that he never took any money from his pocket and that his bank accounts or assets have increased massively during his premiership. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 A less than influential political pressure group has a 17-point hit list for the PM. This is the sort of thing that should inspire the seated opposition to come up with meaningful no-confidence motions rather than the softballs pitched so far in parliament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pkrv Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'm surprised it's just 17. However, wish them and all the people luck in making their country a better place, though there's no quick fix. In the mean time the usual snouts are in the trough, cheered by a few apologists hanging around to defend their actions/inactions. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post internationalism Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) jatuporn and all of them are self-confessed royalists, that group includes neo-fascist yellows from PAD, PDRC and all later reincarnations. He even donned 901 haircut (this ordered for police, army, jit arsa paramilitary formation). They might be an opposition to this government (wishing to jump in their boots, possible with help from some army faction in yet another military coup) and some from aristocracy, but they are very much part of the system. They don't want to change anything substantial. They don't want monarchy reform, which is core demand from the ratchadon people's party. This subject being now also demanded by the future forward. at the beginning of their existence, in March, they did not defend those behind bars for lese majeste, computer crime and sedition charges. They don't talk about this at all. They are traitors, cobras, similar to isaan rambo and rest of the former reds, now bought into the ruling party. Jatuporn is trying dismantle the united front for democracy or red movement, which he formally chairs. He has some 200 acolytes from his own personality cult still following him. But that is his all political power. He clearly distanced himself from the reds during local election in chiang mai, when he was against their candidate. here is a commentary from a trusted journalist https://www.khaosodenglish.com/opinion/2021/04/10/opinion-why-jatuporn-reappearance-may-no-bode-well-for-progressive-change/ Edited June 16, 2021 by internationalism 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 I do not understand why so many complain about this great man. The great and benevolent leader has already insured happiness. Now, he is showing the vast purity of his heart daily. He is lowering unemployment. He is growing the economy. He is doing everything in his power to open the country up again, and increase tourism revenue. He is increasing exports. He is abiding by all of the terms of the ASEAN charters he signed, and allowing the duty free importation of all beer throughout ASEAN. Bintang, Beer Lao, Bia Saigon, Bia Huda, Bia Ha Noi, Dagon, Saigon Special, 333, are on all of the supermarket shelves as we speak. We are no longer subject to the very low quality local beers, as promised in the recent ASEAN charter, that Thailand agreed to and signed. He is making visa policy easy, simple and streamlined, and all tourists are very happy about that. He is working on the attitudes of government workers, and making sure they are open and friendly to both tourists, and ex-pats. He is improving traffic and public safety. He is working day and night to eliminate the air quality issues, that have become a catastrophe for the nation. Corruption is being eliminated, and innocent fall guys are no longer getting charged for murder, and being put to death. The taxi mafia on Samui and Phuket have been eliminated, and tourists can now get a taxi at a fair price. They are also adding multiple options of cheap public transportation on the Southern islands. Life is better for all now that this great man is demonstrating his genius and vision on a daily basis. All he cares about is the welfare of his own people, and the happiness of both tourists and the ex-pat community. He contemplates this day and night. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uroller Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The Covid pandemic has really shown that the government’s strength is in ordering soldiers (people) around and telling them what to do and when to do it! They have not grasped the idea of governing a country and making it a better place for all of its citizens and protecting those citizens as they go about their daily lives???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Jatuporn is a snake out to make money. A Chinese from the South like the rest of the red shirt leadership and rejected by his own people, he manipulated under privileged Isaan and Northern Thais and led them to their deaths to make lots of money from Thaksin. No good will come from this man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though you are essentially correct, it would have been so easy to use the soldiers to patrol the border areas, no matter how rural, and rough the terrain, and stop infected, super spreader illegals, from coming across the border, and arresting corrupt border officials on the spot, at the same time. At a minimum, it would have been good training. Put the army to work doing something. Anything. Justify their existence, shoehow. And that brings up another important question and issue. What on earth do these soldiers do? Who are they protecting us from? How does the nation justify a half million soldiers? And 2,200 empty suit generals? And the ridiculous military budget of 223,000,000,000 baht? Edited June 16, 2021 by spidermike007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
