And even if he is in a luxury hospital, it's still considered jail. There are lots of restrictions for him. I am sure it's a big difference compared to luxury life in the desert.

Shameful Sadly not many countries do. Faux democracy like in the UK and US have mechanisms to flaunt the will of the people, ie places where Senators are bought and paid for by multinational corporations, or unelected Chambers exist and most seats are safe. And ethics, how can you expect countries too have ethics when the leaders are power lusting psychopaths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco51 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 13 hours ago, Social Media said: Thailand's King has reduced the eight-year prison sentence of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to a year. Mr Thaksin, who returned home last month after 15 years of self-imposed exile, was immediately sent to jail. He was then moved to the luxury wing of a state hospital after complaining of heart problems. Mr Thaksin has always said the outstanding sentences, over charges of corruption and abuse of power, were politically motivated. Deposed by a military coup in 2006, Mr Thaksin, one of Thailand's most influential and polarising personalities, left the country two years later to avoid a prison sentence. His return on 22 August was assumed to be part of a wider political deal. And it was one that was meant to bring his popular Pheu Thai party together with its one-time adversaries in a compromise government. And it did that. Hours after he arrived, a new coalition government, led by Pheu Thai, voted its candidate Srettha Thavisin as the new PM. The coalition includes Mr Thaksin's former military rivals who deposed his party in 2014 in a coup. Who is Thaksin Shinawatra? Thaksin's return seals grand Thai political bargain Mr Thaksin clearly hoped for leniency as a part of that deal, and King Vajiralongkorn has responded quickly to his request for a pardon, reducing his eight-year sentence to just one. Mr Thaksin is likely to stay in hospital. In response to his request for a royal pardon, the royal gazette on Friday noted his age and "illness". It added that Mr Thaksin "has done good for the country and people and is loyal to the monarchy". FULL STORY Next stop : rewrite the constitution so it remains the same with more very flexible wording. Then after long and tedious negotiations the Jurassic Park will be kept as it is, for the sake of the peoples' welfare and after advice from the CCP ambassador. Dying out pieces should be replaced by newly discovered dinosaurs with the proven disability to say yes . Quietly Chalerm Y. will announce his return because statute of limitations and bureaucratic errors have been found under a carpet. Meanwhile MF has been investigated thoroughly and found illegal, all participants that have not yet joined one of the "established" parties will be banned from politics. Eventually K.Srettha will make a wrong remark and a new uncle will ...................etc. ad nauseam. If the teacher says the sky is black , then the sky is black, everybody repeat. Happy end.

Jelli Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Ironically, the defacto head of the current ruling quasi populist clique uses personal leverage and presumably fortune for favor. Sort of exactly the thing MVP and even old PT party might have railed against. Wonder what it cost him. I'm guessing 50-100M one way or another.

So basically he is an innocent man accused of some white collar stuff. Pretty much all Thai politicians have been accused of such things. So your so called high moral standards are chest beating and selecting the highest profile one cause it makes you feel better Umm, I remember him for the 'shoot a dealer and small time user' campaign in which thousands were summarily shop. I don't need to moralise about anything else he is purported to have done. He is on the same low moral level already as Dutertes from the Philippines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
