Popular Post webfact Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 A FRESH COMPLAINT WAS FILED today (Dec.6) against Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin for allegedly breaking the law by handing a personal gift worth over 6,000 baht to Pheu Thai leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra. Political activist Srisuwan Janya lodged the petition against the Pheu Thai-backed prime minister to the National Anti-Corruption Commission calling for probe into the recent event in which the prime minister had bought out of his own pocket a large piece of Mudmee fabric for 6,000 baht from an OTOP store in Sri Boonruang district of Nong Bualampu and handed it to Paetongtarn, daughter of de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict at large Thaksin Shinawatra, in the presence of government personnel and villagers.

Popular Post daveAustin Posted December 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2023 Stroll on! Don’t like the bloke either, but if you want to get him, wait until he does something corrupt… like ‘running the country’ when an election has been stolen. 😋 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinsdale Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) I don't care for this bloke at all but if the money was from the public coffers then I can see a problem but it wasn't. This seems rather absurd to me. Does this mean he cannot buy a birthday present for his wife for example?

edwinchester Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 It is this guy's job to run offense for the super rich elite and their stooges and nothing else. He will never raise issues of corruption and injustice perpetrated by his paymasters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the one tht filed all the papers on the MFP and will continue as a watch dog to file on anything he thinks is wrong. Better someone does that than no one does anything.

I agree with "No gifts, from Contractors to emp;loyers " say, But what is the Minimum amount that one is allowed to spend on someone's Birthday present, say, and is there a Maximum amount also ?

Rules on this kind of gift should be followed though the value is of course very small. In the catalogue of crimes committed (eg grabbing the country by force of arms) over the last 15 years it is perhaps not worth getting too hot under the collar.

Sydebolle Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Well, a former Prime Minister, Samak Sundaravej, had to clear his PM office for less. He participated in a cooking show on TV and was compensated with some ridiculous amount for transportation (I think it was THB 500) in connection with his appearance on TV as a hobby cook. The law stipulates, that the PM is not entitled to receive any money apart from his remuneration as PM - which sent Samak packing and he disappeared from the political stage. He was a hopeless nuisance politically and certainly an apparent crook (remember the fire engine deal for Bangkok's BMA?) but the whole dismissal was politically motivated.
