Wissanu Rebuts Allegations of Assisting Thaksin's Hospital Stay

[webfact]

 

Former Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam has denied accusations of facilitating Thaksin Shinawatra’s extended stay in the Police General Hospital instead of incarceration. These claims emerged from Sonthi Limthongkul, a media mogul, suggesting Wissanu assisted in transferring Thaksin from the Corrections Hospital due to an alleged severe ailment.

 

Thaksin, convicted on corruption charges, remained in the hospital until his parole, consequently not spending time in a prison cell. Sonthi's allegations imply preferential treatment was arranged, sparking public debate.

 

Wissanu, who served under Prayut Chan-o-cha, firmly rejected these accusations. He described events leading to Thaksin's hospital transfer, recounting a late-night call from a Corrections Department official. "I was informed near midnight about Thaksin’s serious illness and his move to the Police General Hospital," Wissanu stated. "By then, the transfer was already completed."

 

He explained that his immediate instruction was to monitor Thaksin's condition, expecting a brief hospitalisation. "I assumed his stay would be short since I had no detailed knowledge of his health status," Wissanu added.

His tenure as deputy prime minister was notably brief following these events, and he asserts that any involvement on his part was minimal and reactive rather than proactive.

 

This turn of events has stirred discussion about political influence and justice administration in Thailand. Wissanu insists his actions were confined to procedural adherence following Thaksin’s reported medical needs. The former PM's prolonged hospitalisation, under medical pretenses, aligns with varying views on privilege and penal reform.

 

Wissanu's rebuttal seeks to clarify misconceptions, distilling his role to informational relay rather than strategic intervention. The situation underscores ongoing scrutiny of political dynamics intersecting with legal and healthcare protocols in Thailand, reported Thai PBS.

No.

The guy is a disgraceful weakling!

The Plan

1: The royal military establishment knew MFP was going to be a threat a the election.

2: The royal military establishment knew they would need PTP support.

3: Bringing Thaksin back would garner that support as that was part of the deal.

4: Send Thaksin to jail upon return where he will feign severe illness immediately and get helicoptered to police hospital where accommodation has been prepared.

5: Thaksin stays there for a couple of months.

6: Give BJP large 'incentive' to form coalition along with PTP.

6: Royal pardon for Thaksin.

7: Get EC and CC to dissolve MFP.

It's after the fact yes of course it is but doesn't mean it not's the case. Much more believable IMO than Thaksin actually being so ill that he never spent 1 second in a jail cell and needed transferring to the police hospital almost immediately upon his return. Apart from this even before the fact anyone with the smallest intellectual capabilities knew there was a deal in play with the return of Thaksin.

He's far worse than that , he is nasty brown tonged sycophant who will have spent his entire life creeping and fawning his way up the political ladder. He would happily throw his grandmother under a bus if he thought it would further his career, Just look at him not a single grey hair , just like the rest of his ilk,  Who could ever get tired of punching that smug arrogant face?

Nothing is more pathetic than a really old guy with pitch black hair.
