Prakanong Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but I have not seen it. In the Straits Times yesterday there was a small piece about an article that is to be published in a Swiss Magazine soon where Thaksin rails about the Swiss banking not being secret anymore as his Swiss bank accounts have been frozen too. As this been mentioned anywhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at my banks Asia Treasure Private Banking today and reading between the lines it would be safe enough there. Luxembourg is safe for a few more years too as well I think - they will comply with the EU directive later than most. In Lux its even illegal for a branch to tell HQ who has an account there or something to that effect - its where the Belgins and other hide dirty money.

pointofview Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Billionaire, immensely popular leader elected in a landslide three times and now owner of a football team in the most watched league in the World.I'd hate to see what he could do if he was clever. Privilged and connected doesnt equal clever. Although he sure studied the right subjects to serve - kenyucky universty all the great scholars graduated from good ole kentuky.

They simply just hated him and have no other vision (what they had was humiliated in the referendum they organized + a day off for everyone). TRT comes back with their support, under a different name, junta makes yet another coup...and the spiral the junta has introduced goes on....

If there proves to be a spiral, it's one that's perpetuated by misinformed Thai people who think like you. The junta may not be perfect, but don't use that as an excuse to defend Thaksin and his cronies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) criminal justice, and a phd, well he certainly did get it right If he has a PHD where are his published papers, his dissertation? I don't think he is cleverin the conventional sense, he is certainly from a well priviledged background and is exceptionally good at playing people off one against the other and building alliances with equally greedy people of priviledge. I doubt very much if he would have made much of himself had he not had the connections and concessions though. There are not many big Thai business that can cut it and compete on the world stage, I think the level playing fields and more honest ways of business are completly alien to them which they find difficult. Chang is an exception, this is probobally the best run large company in Thailand, they are very transparent.

Ricardo Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) Billionaire, immensely popular leader elected in a landslide three times and now owner of a football team in the most watched league in the World.I thought DL was elected twice, in 2001 & again in 2005, before his resignation in January 2006 led to the later-annulled election in 2006 ? I'd hate to see what he could do if he was clever. Agree that he was a very clever politician, not so sure about his business-skills, and saddened by the way the power seemed eventually to go to his head. He might otherwise have ranked alongside General Prem, for his early achievements, in government. Edited September 7, 2007 by Ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
