Popular Post webfact Posted March 6 Popular Post Share Posted March 6 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.

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. 3 1 3 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KhunLA Posted March 7 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 (edited) 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. Edited March 7 by KhunLA 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 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. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they've seen the writing on the wall that most Thais just don't give a toss.

Popular Post bamnutsak Posted March 7 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 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. 2 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jippytum Posted March 7 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 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. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 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! 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
