webfact Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 RUNAWAY EX-PM Rumours about my sickness are lies : Thaksin By THE NATION Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has told a Thai newspaper that he is not sick and has been doing business in Africa. Thaksin gave a phone-interview to a Thai Rath Online reporter after his lawyer Noppadon Pattama distributed media pictures of Thaksin to disprove rumours he is sick or in critical condition, as some rumours said. He did not elaborate which country he is in at the moment, saying he travels constantly. "People lied about me all the time. If you believe those lies, you have to ask yourself if there's something wrong with you," Thaksin replied when asked to comment on speculation about his health. "Now you hear my voice. Do you think I'm sick?" he asked the reporter. Asked why he had stopped posting messages on his Twitter page, Thaksin said "I want reconciliation to happen." He said he had quit his advisory posts with the Cambodian government and the Cambodian prime minister out of annoyance. In an interview with Thai Rath, Thaksin said he found the two posts "Annoying. People always accused me of this and that." "In order not to be annoyed any more, I asked Hun Sen if I should quit. I don't want to be annoyed so I can be free. Moreover, I really don't have time for that. I had a position but couldn't do anything for them. I rarely have time to go to Cambodia. So I'd rather quit." Asked if he would accept the posts again if the Cambodian government wanted to reappoint him, Thaksin replied: "No more. Let me do something else. I'd better do something for myself. They robbed me of half of my wealth, so I had to do it to feed my kids," he said. Commenting on Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya asking Montenegro to arrest him, Thaksin said he never cared for Kasit. On his plan to come back to be Thai prime minister, Thaksin said, "I don't have a future in politics. My political future is just being a people's man. That's all and nothing else." Asked about when he wished to come back to Thailand, Thaksin admitted he wanted to return home "but it's not as important as the country becoming peaceful and its people reconciled". "I wish people would stop bullying, especially the weak. That's bad. It will cause and reinforce rage in people's minds. I wish people would stop seeing the weak as if they were not Thai people. That's dangerous for the country." Thaksin denied his pictures taken with Nelson Mandela were faked. "I can guarantee they were taken last Friday around 2pm," Thaksin said, adding that at 4pm he went on to meet and take pictures with Winnie Mandela at the house where she welcomed Nelson Mandela after 27 years in jail. Associated Press said the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg confirmed the visit took place last Friday. "It was not a meeting, it was a courtesy call," spokesman Sello Hatang said. He said he did not know what they discussed. Thai Rath Online said it would today publish the second part of the interview in which Thaksin speaks his mind about what happened behind the September 19, 2006 coup. -- The Nation 2010-09-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubl Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) I'd better do something for myself. They robbed me of half of my wealth, so I had to do it to feed my kids," he said. The latest Forbes has him at 390 Million US$. His kids are in their late 20's. He doesn't need to feed his kids, only go shopping with them while others do the bleeding and dieing. It seems his spin-doctor Robert A. was not involved in this statement. reason for edit: correct amount in $$ Edited September 3, 2010 by rubl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiawatcher Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 We can only all but hope his denied sickness prevails. The reports a few months ago had him in chemotherapy and his plane had to turn around and get him back to Dubai as he was too sick to travel after the therapy. We live in hope that he is silenced and sent up the chimney soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be annoyed so I can be free. True to form, anyone who made him feel he's lost face or didn't agree with him was annoying. What a true diplomat and font of reconciliation. I will avoid those that annoy me by not agreeing with me. Beaten to tears by 'this and that'. Shackled by those oh so annoying doubters of of his worth. Oh that poor, poor Khun T.

SamritT Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I believe Thaksin is already dead for quite a while. The one walking & talking is his twin brother. BTW, looking at the color of his jet, do you think it is sponsored by PEPSI? Shame if it is, COCA COLA could have paint the jet RED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puccini Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 You have to give it to Thaksin: he really knows how to keep his name in the Thai newspapers and radio news. He and his cronies don't even have to do much themselves. There are enough people speculating all the time publicly about Thaksin's whereabouts, his health and what have you. Then he can chose when and on what subject to chime in either to confirm or to deny the rumour of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he can chose when and on what subject to chime in either to confirm or to deny the rumour of the day. It's because he has so much money which can buy so much in Thailand. Without it he would just be another talkative idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBarbarian Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 If a serious newspaper reported anything about Thaksin I would pay attention. If the yellow shirt mouth-piece and gossip Nation reports something it is not only terribly edited, it is mostly colored and untrue. It is like with the pictures with Mandela. They were doctored according the Nation, not so according the spokesman of the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg who confirmed the authenticity of the pictures which were taken today a week ago.Thai people are in general childish, the Thai elite is not just childish they have less social intelligence as my 3 year old daughter.

The spokesman of the NMF confirmed the private meeting, not the photo. Even if the one picture could be confirmed by the NMF it would still be one, not 'pictures'. The other one was with the ex! As for serious newspapers, I hate to speculate. Are you a vivid watcher of FOX channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey11 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 He has lost all credibility, even among most of his former true believers. He says it is a lie. OK. Next ... Well, I hope Thaksin is lying that his health is good. Until he disappears from the face of the earth thee will be no peace in Thailand. This scumbag maggot will not stop trying to turn Thai against Thai and try to keep tourists out of Thailand. Thaksin wants to ruin the Thai economy. He is a terrorist and I hope that someday he rots in prison. If not, I hope he leaves this world in some other way, but suffers greatly while leaving us. Too bad there are so many millions still supporting him in northern and northeastern Thailand. These peasants will always live in the last century. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Thai elite is not just childish they have less social intelligence as my 3 year old daughter.
