Thaksin denies role in appointment of Phichit as PM’s Office minister

[webfact]

Paroled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has categorically refuted any suggestion that the appointment of Phichit Chuenban, his family’s lawyer, as PM’s Office Minister, was a setup to undermine Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.

 

He claims to be just an old man who has no political position or power whatsoever, adding that his role is to give advice to those younger than him and to help the country as best he can.

 

He maintains that he wants Srettha to remain in office as long as possible, as some problems take a long time resolve.

 

The former prime minister said that the move by 40 senators to seek a Constitutional Court order to remove the prime minister, over his appointment of Phichit, may cause some problems, but will not result in the prime minister being removed.

 

He also denied a suggestion that he might retaliate against the 40 senators.

This is just a an absolute filthy lie that 100% of Thais will find both completely disingenous and laughable.

Well, He would deny it, wouldn't He. It would be a violation of His parole, and he could find himself back in a cell, oops, sorry......hospital bed.

So it's true then.

It's quite unbelievable how this comedy of lies is playing out in full public view. We could just skip forward to the part when he denies that he has had anything to do with his daughter being appointed when Strettha is pushed aside. It would save everyone time.

Advice how to be corrupt like him and be a criminal like him?

Or advice how to get out of jail?

 

He divided Thailand like nobody before him. Maybe that was the best he could. Others can do a lot better and shouldn't listen to the criminal.

It seems you don't know many of those 100%. Or you don't know the meaning of 100%.

Unfortunately, there are still many Thais out there who "think" he is the hero.

Even the blind faithful will know this is BS in their hearts they just won't say it but ok not 100% as such. No need to be picky or nasty though as I'm sure the gist of my post is understood.

You could have written "many" instead of 100%. 100% = all.

Indeed I could have but really, does it matter that much? My point was the appointment was a set up, as I posted in a previous thread, and his non-involvement in politics is an out and out lie. I guess I could have also written a 100% of those other than the blind faithful but it doesn't matter. Not a big deal.

Maybe 100% of rich and corrupt Thais and of course the higher up military that he tried to curtail?

Perhaps lying, hypocrisy and getting away with it is part of the culture, and they admire him for it? 🤷‍♂️
