sriracha john Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) I'm just not as adept at predicting a criminal mind's intentions as others apparently are... not until the motivations and reasons become more obvious. but besides that, a diplomatic passport re-issuance has nothing to with facilitating Thaksin's return. All that is needed for that is his pre-existing normal passport and an airline ticket. Edited February 24, 2008 by sriracha john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaoPo Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 As if there were ever any doubt. People will be be so pissed that they'll complain about it for a whole 3 days if that. Heng, I think you underestimate the staying power of some complainers!!! Just the idea that this would happen has sustained those here on TV for over three weeks now!!! And maybe they are right...the color of the book that Toxin's porter shows to the immigration people might be...might be....well I can't really think of what importance this might have....but it MIGHT be important...I think. Chownah Of course, if we're talking about this board, I'm sure this could go on for years. I mean they've already whinged through the entire year that Thaksin wasn't even around. Indeed. Since I set my first steps in the Far East, over 30 years ago, I always wondered why Westerners think they always know/knew better for the Asian people than the Asian themselves...

geriatrickid Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 On his first day in office Noppadon brought along his friend, former singer Arisman, who was enthusiastically giving instructions to Foreign Ministry officials on how to conduct Noppadon's press conference. They were greatly relieved when Noppadon assured them Arisman was not there in any official position and FM officials won't have to take orders from a pop-singer in the future.>>> By early summer 2008 the current "peasant" government will lose all credibility, respect and ability to actually govern. . Tsk tsk. I'm surprised the TVers, particularly those that do not live in Thailand, that are all for democracy and giving the regular folks a voice didn't rip into you. What's more democratic then letting all participate, even those from humble backgrounds. It's all about participatory democracy. Power to the people etc. Mustn't be elitist. Besides, what's so bad about being a former singer. Ronnie Reagan starred with a chimpanzee and went on to become President of the USA and smiled his way to fame. The Arnold was a star of great films such as kindergarden cop and now governs a state that has a bigger economy than Thailand's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Arisman eventually got appointed as an aide or a secretary. Now, both Reigan and Arnold were elected to their office. Noppadon wasn't, he was appointed, presumably according to his qualifications but that is not guaranteed, and so was his sidekick monkey Arisman. You don't seriously think that Wan Youbamroong is qualified to be a role model for Thai youths because that's how democracy works, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Traveller Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 ^ No he doesn't have one, hence why he got the government coffers {tax revenue} to purchase Air Farce One.

Nothing wrong with being a singer, but I got a problem with his involvement in the theft of billions of taxpayers baht... Bangkok Post / Jan. 15, 2008 The ASC last week filed charges against 14 other people, including singer-turned-politician Arisman Pongruengrong, who has been found to have been involved in the alleged corruption in some projects of the Baan Ua-arthorn scheme. Like so many others in the current Cabinet, he has outstanding criminal charges... Edited February 27, 2008 by sriracha john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
