Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, chief legal advisor to several governments, including eight years in the Prayut administration, said today (Friday) that he has decided to quit politics for good, to take a rest, look after his health and to write books.

 

He recalled that he made a similar decision back in 2006, after spending four years as deputy prime minister under Thaksin Shinawatra, adding that there were reasons for him to return to politics, reassuming the post from 2014-2023.

 

“This time, however, no more returns, because I am sick from dialysis treatment,” he said.

 

He said that he may, however, accept positions on the boards of some companies, to have some income. The deputy prime minister admitted that he does not know when the new cabinet will take office, adding that his term will end when the new government delivers its policy statement to parliament.

No, you are alive because of the dialysis treatment. Your sickness is the underlying reason why you need treatment.

I would have thought his pension pot would be full to overflowing after a stint in Prayuth's Government?

a trilogy titled "My Loopholes I, II and III"

Many voters' prayers have been heard and hopefully the dinosaur sticks to his "retirement" plans ........ 

Good, of all the reptiles in charge he is the one I despise the most, hoping for karma and a long lingering illness...

Shows how easy being a director of a company is.  At least that's his view. 

Don't let the door hit you on the bottom on your way out.

To quote from Oliver Cromwell when he was dissolving the UK parliament in 1653.

 

By the 1650s, Oliver Cromwell’s trust in Britain’s Parliament was waning. As he saw it, the Long Parliament’s remaining members, known as the Rump Parliament, were legislating to ensure their own survival rather than to serve the will of the people.

 

On 20 April 1653, Cromwell stormed into the Commons Chambers with a party of armed guards in tow. He then ejected, through force, the remaining members of the Rump Parliament.

“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of (your) God, Go.”

 

This seems to ring a bell here in Thailand.

Yippee!!!!
