Palang Pracharath’s Thawee Suraban filed complaints with Election Commission (EC) on Friday against two Democrats, Chuan Leekpai and Sathit Wongnongtaey, accusing them of defaming him during their election campaigns.

 

Thawee’s lawyer took the legal action, claiming the pair had violated election laws by slandering his client when they spoke on rally stages in April and May.

 

His lawyer submitted video clips of Democrat’s advisory chief Chuan’s and Sathit’s speeches on the campaigning on May 10thand April 27th as supporting evidence.

Poor diddums.

 

Grow up and act your age.

At least he's using the legal avenue. So many manchild Thai men use guns. Maybe if Thailand has the chance to or more to the point is allowed to grow up, eventually the people will too. Probably not what the defenders of "TheThree Pillars" want. Maybe the people of Thailand want freedom from these 'Three Pillars'? The massive mandate from the people would certainly indicate this.

Deep hungry pockets and tissue paper skin would describe almost all politicians here ????  

Thailand really is in a state of fracture.

Let him have his day in court. Leekpai is perhaps the most senior politician in Thailand. Been around since 90s and former PM. Such an important person can't go about talking trash (allegedly) publicly of others especially with Thailand's crazy defamation laws.

Always remembering that 'slander' here also includes making a true statement, as the truth is often damaging to a person's reputation and not meant to be told. 

If every politician sued every politician for slander, they'd spend more time in courts than parliament !
