Long overdue.

Next stop Bangkok Remand Prison, maybe he can room with Thaksin? Just need to add Prayut and the Three Stooges will be complete!

[KhunLA]

A work in progress, 2 gone.   Maybe a couple more election cycles, and the rest will be sorted or simply die.

Thinking about these resignations especially Prayuth and toady, will they now have to declare how much they made in 9yrs of theft of have they managed to pardon themselves on that too?

What will you put on your CV for the past 8 years, P Pom??? ????

[mfd101]

(sob! sob!)

[couchpotato]

I hear on good authority that he only resigned because of the lack of parliamentary space for his mattress......

[Artisi]

That's he stays awake long enough. 

[DPKANKAN]

"""TIME""" goes 'bye'.....5555????????????????

[Maejo Man]

Best news of the year so far. Two down and one to go!

[Searat7]

Probably figures that getting caught sleeping all the time during parliamentary sessions is not worth it. At 78 he is well beyond normal retirement age anyway.

Not quite:  "Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done" (from Last Great American Whale).

Outgoing Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said today (Thursday) that he will quit as a party-list MP and will only retain his post as leader of the Palang Pracharath party.

 

Speaking to reporters before chairing a meeting of the Thai Olympic Committee this morning, Prawit said that he has done enough for the country and will now concentrate on working for the party.

 

He did not give a specific date for his planned resignation as an MP, only saying that it will be “pretty soon”.

 

Appearing in good mood, he wished the reporters good luck and asked to take a group photo with them as a souvenir of their working relationship.

They passed a law; before Covid; granting themselves immunity from any future prosecutions.

[DJ54]

Think there’s a check list to help decide….

MP - No Naps (although limited naps sometimes ship by) 

Party Leader - Naps accepted anytime and duration. 
 

Seriously if I were him would resign and go out and enjoy life a bit

[smedly]

was he even elected or did he decide to be an MP because of his association with a party

[Golden Triangle]

Can you persuade all the other fools to go with you...........

[John Drake]

Prawit and Prayuth perhaps distancing themselves from what they see as a fiasco on the horizon?

[sambum]

But wasn't it just a couple of months ago that he was getting all dressed up in trendy clothes (mutton dressed as lamb springs to mind!) in his efforts to woo the young voters into supporting him in his wish to be PM if Prayut stepped down?

[Sydebolle]

Naps 'r us then!

Taxi for Prawit and one for the clocks times up ????

Ah but then he was ''Voted'' as a MP in a so called election, does that immunity carry on till his death?

Constitutionally, i inderstand, they are required to declare their assets but don't hold your breath waiting.
