As many as 25 Thai celebrities have been or are being investigated over their criticism of the government and Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, especially concerning the currently inadequate national vaccine rollout and other pandemic measures, said Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Pol Maj-Gen Piya Tavichai today (Thursday).

 

The trend of celebrities calling out the government on various issues on their social media, which have huge followings, known as “Celeb Callouts”, has been intensified by a lawsuit filed by Mr. Prayut’s lawyer against a rapper “Milli” over her online posts targeting the government and the prime minister. The Thai hashtag #SaveMilli has been used in over a million tweets.

 

18-year-old Danupha Khanatheerakul reported to police today to hear the charge of defamation. She was fined 2,000 Baht.

Only another 60 million investigations to follow the 25 mentioned.

Struth.

Oh no, it's happening, the silence of the critics has started. If the heats to much in the kitchen for this government it must be time to get out of the kitchen...

[daveAustin]

He should spend that time fighting the virus. Pathetic and typical. You’re not in the cub scouts anymore. Run your country.

What a sad state of affairs, clear that this pathetic excuse of a government are running scared.

Get vaccines for people, channel your energies on helping the people/ country, instead of this crazy nonsense, just shows what a childish/pathetic bunch they are.

[ikke1959]

If you are at the top PM, minister or whatever and you act like this it is just normal to get critics.. He deserves it...Let the people say what they think of them. In every democratic country it can be done

[smedly]

and I assume this will be dealt with the same way along with 600 medics and experts who have also be critical - 

 

KKP Research, of Kiatnakin Phatra Bank, has predicted that the latest COVID-19 outbreak will be longer than expected, due to the Delta variant, the slow imposition of lockdown measures and slow roll out of mass vaccinations, and that semi-lockdown measures will have to be in place for at least three months to ease the situation. 

[smedly]

expect a new poll in the coming days declaring 76.5% public support for Payuth

[Destiny1990]

He is truly a great debater and looks smart in silk..

[metisdead]

An offending video that contained profane language in the script has been removed as well as the replies. 

[HaoleBoy]

Get these lawsuits going so fast, yet still forming new committees for The Boss ... 
Or how sloooooow  their vaccination program is going.

 

It seems Pinocchio has been empowered after his video meeting with the top 1% of CEOs in Thailand.  Will this regime ever come to an end?

Is there no defence of "truth" allowed?

 

So much for even the Thai version of democracy.

No, think about the number of seats reserved for military appointees .

It is somewhat akin to the idea of democracy in Myanmar, although the citizens there are protesting and  being killed by the military , while the world watches on in silence.

"... entering false information into a computer system..."

 

Would that cover press releases falsly stating number of vaccine doses ordered too? Asking for a friend...

You mean the current DPRT where free speech is punished, truth is punished and lies are accepted as truths and people are forced to believe them, yep Amazing Thailand.  My heart goes out to all of my friends here in Thailand and their families who are suffering at the hands of this Junta lead Government.

[Thaiophil]

The plucky Ms Milli should thank the govt and plod. They just added millions to her social media following (me included) and boosted her career.  

 

My sympathies are with plod. They get criticised for not helping people literally dying in the street of covid, when any fair minded person would accept that with their limited resources they had to prioritise pursuing serious 18 year old criminals like Milli.
