Thaksin's Sister Yingluck Declares Her Pheu Thai Candidacy

[animatic]

Last one out, switch of the lights.

The dynasty (or should I say din nasty) is preparing itself for supreme power (they hope) along the lines of Marcos, Hussain, Gadhaffi et al. They just have one or two people to remove first. God help Thailand!

The poor and ignorant masses are being duped. If these fascists win there really is no future and Burma will look like a tea party. Perhaps I won't sell my house in France after all.

You forget Assad.

Last one elected, close the cell door after you go in.

[BlueSmurf]

Don't be fooled its Thaksin himself! He has just had a lot of face surgery. Any chance anyone has a picture of the bottom half? Hey I'am normally good at spotting the Katoey but I may be losing my touch or maybe I want too...lol

Now all that Big Brother needs to announce during his next video speech is: "And if you vote for PTP, I guarantee to you that every Thai will attain within 3 months a complexion as snow-white as my baby sister." And bam! Landslide victory for PTP and one-party government!

Right he can run HiSo Lena as party list right after Jatuporn.

Are there any other Pheu Thai female MPs? I don't see any on the billboards as I drive around SiSaket and Ubon provinces. Quite a volte face from what I suspect is an extremely mysogenistic 'profession' in Thailand. It might rebound in Thaksin's face?

It is predominantly black not exclusively black, and all schools have places for foreign students. But especially if they can really afford to 'improve the school' . The number of Thais graduating into highest level academic universities is pretty small, mostly because of language issues, but also the rigorous programs and higher grades.

Plain and simple if your english sucks don't expect Harvard or MIT no matter how much cash you have, short of donating full buildings with all equipment. But even a Uni rated 6483rd world wide will not be a bad choice if your aim is a western style education for your child.

Even if fullest possible facilities are not available like an Ivy League school, the TYPE of educational methods will be much different than mai bpen rai pass them so the hiso family doesn't lose face.

Former TRT wingman Yowawoppa Shinawatra and former PM Blinkey, er Somchai's daughter Chinichia is an MP, and there are a few other daughters of TRT banned MP's who are holding the family sinecure for poppa until his ban is lifted. One actually spoke during legislative session and to the press, until word got back about her eloquence, and she hasn't been heard from since last year.

[rayw]

I dont think the Thai Elites want their country run by a woman. Especially a Shiniwatra. There will be Anarchy if she wins.

Ahem Forget about the sexist angle. Come on now she is also definitely one of the Thai Elites anyway same as her brother and the whole corrupt right wing elite family. Just look where she was educated and her background. Do you really think a non elite Thai would have any of that on their CV, not even a remotest chance!!!

The whole thing sucks and anyone not easily seeing through this sham of putting his sister in the hot seat is really stupid and of totally sub par intelligence. Come on now Thai people you are better than falling for this one, so once and for all get rid of all the Shinawatra dodgy lot today and put in your own REAL and HONEST working men from your communities who are capable of being leaders too and then have a reputable PTP that you can be proud of and that is electable unlike now with a pretty nasty crook pulling the strings. If common sense is clearly seen then it should ensure Thaksin and his cronies and relatives will never be allowed anywhere near Thai Government again and the people should also want to see that too. Goodbye Thaksin ... hopefully, and for the Thai peoples' sake.

Is this by any chance the same university that handed Doctor Thaksin his title?

She probably never has been within a 100 mile radius of the university in her life anyway.

[hyperdimension]

It is predominantly black not exclusively black, and all schools have places for foreign students.

I'm wondering why she chose such a university to attend. Is she attracted to black guys? I wonder what she got up to in her spare time there.

The youngest MP in the House is a female Pheu Thai MP. She's Thaksin's niece and as animatic pointed out, her mother is banned TRT MP and her dad is a banned PPP MP

Pheu Thai Party MP Chinnicha Wongsawat

The thing is, she's likely to get banned herself next month for filing false asset declarations. Seems she failed to report a 100 million baht transaction with, coincidentally enough, another family member depicted earlier in the thread, her other uncle, convicted tax evader Bannaphot:

Bannaphot Damapong, another brother of Potjaman.

Bannaphot, on the left alongside his sister in July 2008, when the Criminal Court found Potjaman and Bannaphot guilty of intentionally avoiding a tax payment of 546 Million Baht. Also found guilty were Potjaman's personal secretary, Kanchana Honghern, on the right. The court sentenced Potjaman and Bannaphot each to 3 years in prison and Kanchana to 2 years in prison. He's never served his sentence, so not sure how they plan on getting around that little nuance.

Additionally, the second youngest MP in the House is also a female Pheu Thai MP, Visaradee Techathirawat. Like the youngest MP Chinnicha, Visaradee is the daughter of a banned TRT MP, Visarn Techathirawat.

Here she is with her banned father:

Former Bangkok Governor candidate Leena Jungjanja's "Hi-So" line of beauty care products are quite famous, especially her "Armpit Whitening Cream."

That she personally appears on her own products, even the "Big And Up Breast Cream", is a testament to their efficacy.

I'm sure she'd be very welcomed addition by the Pheu Thai Party.

Take it easy. She can maybe be a god marketing-woman for Thailand. She can even close all sex-industrie and that will be very good for the country.

She will only do what "big brother tells her to do"

The black aspect is irrelevant. Based on the standing of the school, it obviously means her qualifications for admission to a more elite school didn't exist. In the US, there are traditionally black colleges that indeed quite excellent, such as Emory and Howard.

Kentucky State University???

Hicksville, USA.

If language is a problem, though, how come George Dubya Bush got into Yale. Daddy was as corrupt as any other politician, but super rich. And so, although Dubya has little knowledge of the English Language (or indeed of anything), he got into Yale and was voted in (twice, well, at least the second time) by the American sheeple.

Any time you want to snigger at Thai politics, just recall that Dubya was the most powerful politician on earth. Or maybe you should recall the likes of Sarkozy in France or Bliar in UK (followed by the equally appalling Brown).

Still, with all Thaksin's wealth, she should have been able to find a university a bit more up the evolutionary scale than Kentucky State.

But very educ-able.

Did I once see her on Thailovelinks?

[Skywalker69]

Well, according to my 100% Red Shirted Lanna Thai wife, now that it's "official", every woman in the North & Issan will be voting for her.

Of course, this is the same woman who swears to me twice a month that she's going to win the lottery this time.

Good one.

She also used to market a "Big + Up Arse Nourishing Cream", but Arisman broke into the store and used up every bit of it.

(And I bet the "Mark Remover Cream" is particularly popular with the PTP.)

Yingluck is Thaksin's big bet

Yingluck Shinawatra remained an elusive woman yesterday, and it must have had something to do with fears she could become a political sitting duck.

According to sources, plans were being made to help the young, beautiful and successful sister of Thaksin Shinawatra cope with the baptism of fire if she was to enter politics and be the Pheu Thai Party's prime ministerial candidate.

Reports coming out of Pheu Thai over the past two days seemed to confirm that she is poised to become Thailand's first female challenger for the top office. What was holding back an official announcement was, allegedly, an arrangement for her to first get the blessing from party veterans, some of whom would otherwise be upset by being leapfrogged by the young lady.

Pheu Thai has apparently managed to convince Mingkwan Saengsuwan to stay, although he would not be the first name on its party list.

Snoh Thienthong has been in the process of joining the party and helping put Pheu Thai's powerful but unorganised northeastern fortress in order. The two men are among those whose support Yingluck would need, or Thaksin's high-stake gamble would be even riskier.

There were reports that party executives had decided on Monday to put her at the top of the party list. Speculation intensified yesterday after old-timer Chawarin Lattasaksiri told reporters Thais should prepare for a life with a female prime minister. The remark prompted an angry reaction - but not denial - from some senior Pheu Thai figures, who reprimanded Chawarin for behaving "improperly".

Party Leader Yongyuth Wichaidit said "everything will become clear" within this week, adding that he would himself announce the name of the top party-list candidate.

That, however, is not a surprising or stunning promise, as Pheu Thai will have to register its party-list candidates with the Election Commission next week, anyway.

Yingluck could be a double-edged sword for Pheu Thai. As an attractive and successful young woman, she would sex up its campaign and blunt the Democrats' advantage of having the Oxford-graduate, handsome Abhisit as the title-holder.

As Thaksin's sister, she will be seen as his nominee, representing his desperate, last-ditch effort to grab back power.

Thaksin will not only be throwing his darling sister into the political fray, but also adding new risks to what remains of his business empire in Thailand.

Yingluck will have to relinquish, or appear to relinquish, her business connections if she is to become a politician. For someone with a vast and long-time business history, that's not an easy thing to do, as Thaksin himself can testify.

The Democrats must have been sniffing around already. To give her a glimpse of what lies ahead, one of the MPs - Boonyod Sukthinthai - took a jab at her personal life. With a woman, that can be perceived as chauvinistic and can backfire, but Thaksin's political rivals will not stop at that, and business transactions or stock movements will certainly be their real targets.

Knowing Thaksin's reluctance, Abhisit yesterday challenged Pheu Thai to unveil its prime ministerial contender. "The Thai people have the right to know who are volunteering to serve them," said the Democrat leader, reminding Thaksin of his pledge to reveal Pheu Thai's No. 1 party-list candidate once the House of Representatives has been dissolved.

As with all big gambles, the stakes will be laid down at the last minute. Thaksin cannot lose this election, so it must be "all in".

The only problem is Yingluck is not a chip that can be retrieved when a lucrative gold or diamond mine is harvested. Laying her down will give new meaning to "family business", and family business was where it all began.

What a nauseating situation. I feel sorry for Thailand to be put into this situation by a certain personality.

[moe666]

A Puea Thai victory declared a non starter because of Taksins interference, if not Taksin will be pardoned by the sister and arrive victorious to rule the country by proxy.
