Yingluck’s Planned Return Without Being Imprisoned Could Be ‘The Last Straw’: Jurin

[webfact]

 

THE PLANNED HOMECOMING of deposed prime minister-cum-convict at large Yingluck Shinawatra without imprisonment could possibly be “the last straw” for those who might no longer tolerate an evident undermining of the country’s rules of law and judicial process, said a prominent lawmaker today (Mar 6).

 

Former Democrat leader Jurin Laksanavisit said the people might no longer stand seeing the rules of law and judicial process being possibly undermined and flouted again by Yingluck, sister of de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole Thaksin Shinawatra.

 

Jurin called on the former woman prime minister who had been earlier convicted in absentia of perpetrating misconduct pertaining to a previous Pheu Thai government’s rice subsidy campaign, fled the country six years ago and remained in self-exile abroad since to observe the rules of law and judicial procedures to the extent that she return home and serve her five-year jail term.

 

The former Democrat leader, concurrently a Democrat MP, suggested Yingluck never follow in the footsteps of her “untouchable” brother who had allegedly manipulated to keep himself from being literally put behind bars for a single day since he returned from self-exile overseas last August.

Undermine? If you’re a someone with clout in this country—and unless there’s a price on your head—the rules rarely apply. 
 

But, at least where Yingluck is concerned, she was nobbled by the army. If she goes down, so should all the illegal coup-makers. 

[AhFarangJa]

If She does return I wonder what serious illness She will come down with after getting off the plane?

Always  reckoned it  was  time for another war  in the world to level things up and show genz (whatever we need these new dumb words for) what the real worlds  like, see  how  good  their tiktoks are when theyre  holding their best friends head  half  missing   in their  hands on a battlefield, all of  a  sudden you wont see any offended  pronouns sheite again  from them.

[thesetat]

The people will not do anything the same way they did nothing at the farce done by Thaksin and his imprisonment.

They will sit back and do nothing, just as they did when they were robbed of the MFP forming a government, just like they did when Thakisn came back.

And they will do the same when she comes back.

How the hierarchical system works in Thailand...

The majority are on the bottom rung...  and do nothing

The opposition seems to forget, they were both well  liked by the masses.  How the coups were not the last straw is more a question for me.

 

Forgot, those with the guns rule, and I probably can't give opinion & criticize their heavy handed control of things.  The people did speak up, and were put down.   A bit of selective memory, as didn't those behind the airport takeover just get a pass themselves.

 

Big Brother gave the masses healthcare.   While making a few baht in the commination game.

 

Lil' Sis gave them a good steady price for their rice, when it was plummeting.  That her cronies abused that scheme, somehow is her fault.   Her other high crime was not predicting a long, heavy rainy season.   Shame on her.

It was all part of the original deal that was cut

with Mr T. 

 

[KhunLA]

Some of us have been here the whole time, and watched the silliness, unfold.   With not so short a memory, so the people it directed affected, surely aren't forgetting.   

 

They're just scared sh!tless, as they know if everyone's plate was wiped clean, and there was and free election tomorrow, they know they'd be on the outside looking in.

dinner at my place when you get back tee rak ?

[Red Forever]

I note that the number of posts from the Shin haters on here is down to a trickle.

Maybe they've seen the writing on the wall that most Thais just don't give a toss. Someone should tell Jurin that his finger is not on the pulse of public opinion.

How many times can they play the last straw????

[mfd101]

If some on AN were to be believed, she should be taken out at dawn and executed by firing squad.

[bamnutsak]

I think she'll arrange a reduction on the Rice Scheme charge from five years to one, based on a Royal Pardon waiting to be executed upon her return.

 

Then she can spend six months under house arrest.

 

All three charges were trumped up and used to force her to leave the country.

 

There is no way she'll spend any time in jail for the rice scheme.

Let's pepper this moniker some more:

Yingluck, soror realis sine neckbrace of de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict cum neckbrace on parole Thaksin Shinawatra invalidus

[jippytum]

The Shinawatra clan do not care about public opinion. Thaksin joined with the enemy that sent him to exile and made a deal to escape jail. He will ensure his sister avoids prison also you can bet on that.

Pregnancy.......a 5 year term ?

[herfiehandbag]

Ah, a former leader of, and now an MP for the Democrats! 

 

A party that connived with the deposing of Thaksin, after he soundly beat them in an election, allowed the military to put them in government after they lost another election, and when it looked like Yingluck was going to beat them for a second time, connived to stop the election and allowed the military to take power instead.

 

I think perhaps he has a tenuous claim to the moral high ground!

Winning the election, and then looking like she was likely to win the next one...

Good question. I think it was a case of her being too popular.
