Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 Anutin would like all of us dirty, smelly farang to leave Thailand. My best memory of him was during the pandemic when, mingling with a crowd, he declared that any foreigner not wearing a mask should be deported, said when he wasn't wearing a mask himself. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE has an excellent roof over his head, excellent food and drink, and happy enough he'd like some more of the easy life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it’s a popular bandwagon to hitch to, but the reality is there has always been far worse cases than this Swiss guy and if he would just leave the country as he will inevitably be forced to do, the whole thing will blow over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although ultimately, his recommendation that people wear masks was generally accepted to be a sensible health precaution by virtually every health authority in the developed world. the photos that I saw of him at the time, he was wearing a mask. he’s a jerk and a racist, but it doesn’t change the facts of what occurred.

wensiensheng Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 4 hours ago, Gecko123 said: Shouldn't this just be left up to the courts? Anutin weighing in on this legal proceeding before it has concluded is akin to Nixon opining on Charlie Manson's guilt half-way through the Tate-LaBianca murder trial. More restraint and respect for the judiciary's independence from politicians would also help instill greater confidence in the public, both here and abroad, that the final decision on this high profile case was made fairly and impartially. It will be pretty hard to instill any confidence in me, whether Anutin weighs in or not. Since he has, My personal needle now moves from 99.9% no confidence, to 100%. Not a lot of change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sydebolle Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 Forget about the law, the courts and the judges as the ultimate reference to everything in the form of sweet heart Anutin has spoken again. "Mr Anutin is on record as assuring the Swiss man that his appeal against the cancellation of his visa will not succeed." Bottomline, forget the law! What a farçe he makes over this particularly ridiculous case. Culprit accused, caught, brought to police, passed onto court, verdict and execution of verdict - like in 196 other countries. The former Swiss ambassador Budliger must be boiling; she was Anutin's darling, shoulder rubbing in her red shoes and too small clothes and thought that the Swiss were an exception to Anutin's clear stance of "dirty farang". If the Swiss bloke is guilty, proceed as above - after all, Thailand has a pretty good set of laws yet is not always applied, as Vorayuth's case (the Red Bull grandson who was so high and drunk, that he killed a police officer on duty with his grey Ferrari in 2012) proves. Rest assured, the collateral damage of this case will cost the industry millions, but Anutin can retreat with his private airplane back to his ranch "Rancho Charnvee" which features a private runway in Khao Yai - some might know the area as a national park - GPS reads 14.634830, 101.463031 for those who want to wing in 😉 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevemercer Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 What's really sad is that Minister Anutin probably doesn't even realise he is subverting the course of justice by advocating an outcome yet to be determined by the Court. Interesting time for farangs (and western countries) if Anutin ever becomes Prime Minister. Expect a sharp swing to China and tougher rules for expats. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is, in effect, subverting the rule of law by turning it into a personal vendetta motivated by his general dislike for farangs. Shocking behavior as always. Swiss david doesn’t stand a chance of a fair trial. Not that I expected anything different.. TIT!… (Or is it China? Sometimes the line is so blurred I can barely tell the difference!) Bob. 100% Agree Bob… This man is a racist cretin - people such as this in positions of power are dangerous. That said, the Swiss guy is also clearly a cretin, but any charges are for the legal system to decide & that has to remain impartial. Anutin is attempting to pervert the course of justice & should face charges himself. Edited April 13 by richard_smith237 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukeleto Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 6 hours ago, webfact said: Now he is also urging Governor Sophon to make sure that the prosecution against Mr Fehr is not settled financially. Does he mean like all Thai Hi-So’s do when they stuff up for far far far worse? A Thai is granted equal justice under the law in most civilised western countries but it’s clear you can’t expect the same in return. Not that I think the accused doesn’t deserve punishment but this is clearly turning into a lynch mob not dissimilar to the days of the KKK minus the sheets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana7 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Anutin is just trying avoid wasting Thai administration resources and Fehr's money. Fehr's visa has already been canceled and even if the appeal is successful in a court, Anutin indicates he can deport Fehr. Anutin is also sending a clear message to all foreigners, Thailand doesn't tolerate foreigners who assault Thai people and try to buy their way out of situations that causes social unrest.
