webfact Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Jatuporn threatens street protest against amnesty By The Nation BANGKOK: -- Pheu Thai MP Jatuporn Promphan on Thursday threatened to resume the red-shirt protest if the government endorsed the push for the amnesty bill. "The true intention for ammesty is to allow the murderers to go free and has absolutely no benefit for the people, be they the red shirts or the yellow shirts," he said. He said key provisions, drafted by Bhum Jai Thai Party, were designed to help those in charge of anti-riot operations. The red shirts will pour into the streets to oppose the amnesty, he said, criticising the junior coalition party for trying to serve the vested interest. "No one will gain from the amnesty but Newin Chidchob and his Bhum Jai Thai Party," he said. In a separate interview, Pheu Thai chairman Chavalit Yongchaiyudh said he suspected the amnesty was designed to pave way for a barred politician, whose initial is S, to resume his political career and become the Bhum Jai Thai leader ahead of the next poll. According to Chavalit, the politician is one of 111 barred executives from defunct Thai Rak Thai Party, triggering speculation about former deputy prime minister Somkid Jatusripitak. -- The Nation 2010-09-23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xangsamhua Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Why does Abhisit want to sit on top of all this? Is being Prime Minister of Thailand all that much of an honour or is he genuinely concerned to bring order out of chaos and decency out of disgrace? It seems there is no faction in Thai politics that really wants to see a way out of the mess the country's in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 "No you can't" says the CRES "Maybe you can" says the PM. "We will" say the reds "Maybe you can" say the PM and the CRES together. "We will" say the reds "Ok you can" says the PM "Oh no you can't" says the CRES. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshiwara Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The one thing bugging the reds above all others now is the government coalition partners who used to be in Thaksin's pocket. The desire to get back on the streets is to show that Thaksin's boys are still in the game and stop minor parties bolting en masse for good. A peaceful road to the forthcoming elections is not good for the reds at all. Oh how some wish to unleash the violence again. It is their only idea to regain political initiative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Unfortunately this particularly unpleasant specimen of a human being continues to hide behind his Parliamentary immunity - it's a shame that he is also not charged for a number of crimes, including incitement to riot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dru2 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does anyone know when and indeed if Jatuporn's parliamentary immunity will end? Is it a matter of waiting until the next election (whenever that might be) and hoping he loses his seat? What offences does parliamentary immunity cover in Thailand? Can a member of parliament shoplift? commit grievous bodily harm? kill? I would suggest Jatuporn was indirectly responsible for all of these on a massive scale. Will he ever face justice? And must we listen to his pompous nonsense in the meantime? What a vile thug the man is! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siampolee Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) We see yet again yet another visible demonstration of the missing link Jatuporn's mental state, as usual something is offered but no he wants something else because there is no mileage ( money) in it for him and his party of thugs. Black is white, pink is green no peace but violence and arson is all the social misfit can understand. No doubt over the border to join the rest of the brothers. What amazes me is that people actually voted for him, must have been a damm good sized parcel of money per voter for a retard to get elected. As an aside the picture of Gen.C reminds of that wonderful character Fred Scuttle. , Edited September 23, 2010 by Scott Inflammatory remark removed/Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaiChai Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Why doesn't the government just enforce existing laws rather than come up with a bill that creates new laws that contradict existing laws? How many times have we seen the legal system circumvented because someone has used a little used (and unknown law/ancient law?) to contradict another law? No wonder the legal system is such a mess here. Government needs to show some balls and enforce existing laws instead. Thats my opinion. Laws are for the greater good of all.

Or is this one of those really Thai things we farang do not need to understand ? Puzzled Essentially yes they are. It does not pay to point the finger willy nilly at people and make statements that a named person will caused damage to the country. This aside from the fact that "will" damage means there is absolutely no proof at all, makes it even easier to prove defamation. It gets a little odder in Thailand when someone sues for defamation, even when the statement is true. The point is, don't willy nilly accuse someone important of wrongdoing.

Jatuporn may be right, this has nothing to do with the ordinary people. On the other hand he singles out some who would benefit in line with his normal thinking. With murderers he probably only means the government ignoring his own side, well they were 'peaceful protesters' weren't they? Street protests, why not. Personally I'd rather have a tape though Edited September 23, 2010 by rubl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai at Heart Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The even better beauty about claiming that a "person with the letter S" is that virtually no Thai has the letter "S" as the first letter of their name. I didn't see the letter S in the Thai alphabet the last time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you don't read Thai or you are deliberately being misleading for some obscure reason. The sound "S" is of course well represented in Thai and many names begin with one of the Thai alphabet "S" variants. ซอ ศอ ษอ สอ But then I expect you already knew that.

You are missing my point. The letter "S" only transliterates all of these sounds. So even if anyone took offence for being accused of having ill intent to the country, he didn't even name a letter that exists anywhere in their names. A very clever legal way of getting tongues wagging without defaming anyone. Unless Simon, or Sam, or Steve have any ill intent to the country.
