Politics Thaksin Shinawatra's Perceived Privilege Rocks Thai Government
Thaksin Shinawatra //File photo Public support is waning over Thaksin Shinawatra’s prison bypass, rocking the government's foundation, reveals a new poll. The alleged favouritism shown to former PM Thaksin starkly questions the government's longevity, according to fresh data from the National Institute of Development Administration. Surveying 1,310 individuals across multiple demographics, the poll captures brewing public sentiment between 3-5 June. Of those polled, a compelling 29.62% foresee Thaksin's case heavily undermining governmental stability. A close 29.31% anticipate some impact, while 24.58% predict no fallout. Notably, 15.73% see a minor ripple, and a tiny fraction of 0.76% remain indifferent or unopinionated on the matter. This drama ensues as Thaksin reappeared in Thailand in August 2023 after 15 years in exile, instantly seeing his eight-year prison term reduced to a mere year, courtesy of royal clemency. Nevertheless, Thaksin’s penitentiary stint was swiftly cut short; he instead enjoyed the comforts of a VIP hospital room, justified by age and health claims, before gaining parole by February 2024. Tensions rise further with the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division demanding an inquiry on 30 April into the correctness of Thaksin's jail term management. This pivotal hearing is set for 13 June, anticipated to shed light on these murky waters. Besides shaking political trust, the saga extends its doubting hand towards the medical field. The Medical Council of Thailand brought disciplinary measures against three practitioners involved in Thaksin's care, with two seeing licence suspensions for their subpar professional conduct. Echoing these concerns, the poll shows 38.40% of respondents losing faith in the medical practice. Conversely, 30.84% still hold trust in the medical community, whereas 15.95% have completely lost faith, leaving 14.20% with unwavering confidence and a minuscule 0.61% opting out of response. This unfolding debacle casts a shadow on both political integrity and public confidence in healthcare standards in Thailand, drawing the gaze of an attentive and increasingly disillusioned populace.
