Popular Post Sydebolle Posted February 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 Another smoke screen - the Monday's usual! Interesting is, that she is being referred to as "exiled former prime minister" whereas I thought, that she was an "elected" politician who got "couped" out of office by the present place holders in funny dresses and squeaky shoes .... But quite obviously I misunderstood this also ???? 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted March 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) 13 hours ago, Henk Langeweg said: And what was the reason he got transferred? So much lack of essential information in this article but enough to feel blessed that my mother's womb was not in this country when I crawled out ... If memory serves, didn't he basically announce that he didn't like her, or her government's policies, and therefore was not going to carry out their instructions. Seems quite a reasonable stance for a senior civil servant to take - quite unreasonable to sack him! Still, if they're concentrating on this then they won't be looking at the Red Bull business, mass graves for trafficked Rohingha, sudden unexplained wealth amassed in connection with the procurement of medical protective equipment and vaccines or any other of dozens of actions which could be regarded as malfeasance!

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2022 Anything to distract from the truth. Prayuth has done everything in his power to protect corrupt cops, the super rich, his men in customs, border patrol, immigration, and within the noxious army. He came in with the pretense of being Mr. Clean. He has turned out to be the opposite. We see who you are. There will be a stench and a cloud upon your family for generations to come. Best to simply resign, change your family name, and move your family overseas. Few will miss you. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Purdey Posted March 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2022 The family was very popular with ordinary people. Some understand that were they to return, there would be some fear among the people now in power that they also would be charged. Keeping the family out of Thailand until one side or the other dies is the only way they can rest easy. Meanwhile, real criminals like Boss are allowed to wait until charges are dropped to return to their family and face no consequences. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joules Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Good heavens. With all the blatant corruption in this country, from top to bottom and back up again, the National Anti-Corruption Commission has to go after Yingluck? If there is one clear message in all this it is that there is NO INTEREST in actually doing anything about corruption in Thailand. There is no hope. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the junta did grant themselves full immunity for all past and future activities. And set in place a twenty-year "plan" from which any deviation would be criminal for future administrations.

Srikcir Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 The OAG's charge is a sham from a legal perspective. On May 7, 2014 the Constitutional Court (CC) had already ruled that Yingluck violated Sections 266-268 of the Constitution. https://www.chiangmaicitylife.com/citynews/politics/yinglucks-term-comes-to-abrupt-end/ The OAG charge seems more timed with the unscheduled next election to benefit Prayut's re-election. The CC's decision in May 2014 followed an agreement between the Yingluck caretaker government and the Election Commission to hold a new election on July 20, 2014 after the CC nullified the February 2014 General Election that was expected to give Yingluck's party a House of Parliament majority and retain Yingluck as PM. https://www.business-standard.com Coincidently, on May 22, 2014 Gen. Prayut overthrew the government in a military coup and assumed absolute power under the provisions of a newly junta-written Interim Constitution until the next election in March 2019 after the junta rewrote the Constitution. Several years later the CC ruled that such power was legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If another government, of a different hue, comes to power either through election or an uprising, then the immunity will be removed and the plan abandoned. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
