PM Urged To Skip Double Standards Over Thaksin As Convict At Large

[webfact]

 

PRIME MINISTER SRETTHA Thavisin was today (Nov.22) pressed to stop exercising double standards in coping with two criminal convicts at large, one being de facto Pheu Thai boss Thaksin Shinawatra.

 

Former MP Thepthai Senapong posted on his Facebook page to call on the prime minister to immediately skip his double standards over the two convicts who are practically keeping themselves from being put behind bars though they both have been earlier ruled as convicts and given jail sentences.

 

Thepthai, the former Democrat lawmaker who has already served 16 months in jail due to an electoral rigging lawsuit in his southern home province, alleged that the Pheu Thai-backed prime minister has apparently exercised double standards by ordering an all-out hunt for one convict, namely Chaovalit Thongduang, aka Sia Paeng, who had escaped from a hospital in Nakhon Sri Thammarat and was in a hideout on Banthat mountain range, whilst doing nothing about the other, namely Thaksin, who has been staying at Police Hospital since the last three months to keep himself from jail.

Is it really advisable for a PM to wear a jacket/shirt covered in Dollar symbols?

Srettha knows who's boss.

The PM is Thaksin's yes man and does what he is told

Bizarre. World up is down down as up. Amazing Thailand, TIT.

Being in a police hospital is much different than being at large. 

  Double standard? How about two different situations?

I think he's trying to claim that Thaksin's hospitalisation is a sham - when we all know its real .

Double standards?? no not in Thailand... as they said before, everybody the same treatment...Now Yingluck will be the next to come back and the Red Bull heir will be cleared and all problems are solved again... Prisons only for the poor and uneducated and full of people who committed minor offences..jail terms for shoplifting, kicking someone, or not paying bills... and if you have money you can pay off  and no charges.. I know from a boy in the neighbourhood who is dealing in drugs...pay the police and no charges or judge ... and he is free and can continue
