Thai PM Yingluck Denies She Is Shedding Tears

Yingluck denies she is shedding tears

The Nation

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra appeared tearful yesterday when asked if she had anything to tell Bangkok residents as she continued leading the fight against one of the biggest floods to hit the capital.

Yingluck, blinking back tears, said: "I want people to know that I have good intention and willingness. I will not be disheartened."

When asked if she had been crying often since the floods hit crisis level, Yingluck insisted she had never become emotional. "Pictures [looking like I've been crying] published earlier were just taken from a different angle. I've never cried because in my position, I need to be strong," she said.

As the reporter continued, asking if the PM was smiling with tears in her eyes, Yingluck laughed.

She admitted that the flood situation in the capital had hit the crisis level.

"The government has been trying to fight against nature, the force of water, strengthening embankments and facing protesters. I ask the people to understand, because I don't want to have to use the law to control the masses,'' she said.

Yingluck added that moving the Flood Relief Operations Centre (FROC) out of Don Mueang Airport would be the last resort even though the complex was plunged in darkness this morning after some generators short-circuited due to the flooding. "The generators will be fixed within the day. It was a minor issue. Taking care of people is my first priority," she said.

She added that once all the refugees had been moved out of the centre, she would consider moving operations out of Don Mueang. "I don't want to move out in a panic because the FROC system has not yet been set up," she said.

Asked if she feared public uprisings against FROC and her government in light of the difficulties they must brave through, Yingluck urged people to understand that the operations centre was set up in a hurry and had to deal with prevention and rehabilitation

"I understand that everybody, especially Pol General Pracha Promnok, who heads FROC, has hardly had any sleep," she said.

Maybe she does read TV after all

I believe this is the video where she were asked whether she cried.

The first one is a shorter clip but clearer than the second; whereas the second one is a longer clip but not as clear.

I imagine she is quite intelligent and is listening to moronic suggestions all day long by other allegedly intelligent people who also have university degrees.

Its OK for a leader to become a little emotional during a crisis,it shows her compassion towards her people. Perhaps Mr (No personality)Abhisit should take notice while sipping on his pina colada in the Maldives.

FROC system has not been set up yet?

(edit: add: well, only announced on October 9th)

BTW cut the BS on Abhisit holidaying on the Maldives. He's back since the 23rd.

Thank you! She is much more appealing even with a tear or two then look at Abhisit arrogant smirk on his face.

Just keep on bashing her! Because of her we have had all this rain.

Your first point is bs because she said Mai long loey, which means not cry. Show me where in the video shes says she wasn't emotional!

Secondly the fact that Abhisit went

to the Maldives at all shows a disregard for his own people.

[Ashoka]

People need to be realistic, I can not believe all of the silly comments blaming the PM for the flood, I suppose she should part the waters with magic. No matter what this poor woman does she is criticised. Try criticising the stores like Big C and Rim Ping that were taking their paper products off of shelves yesterday and repacking them in boxes to sell at a higher price later, they are part of the problem. The capitalists and "the elite" are the ones screwing us all not Yingluck. For hating her so much people sure do give her a lot of credit and power for causing this mess. Ask yourself why the military was cloud seeding here in the north just before the floods? Ask yourself is this a reason to throw her out of office? The real answer is no but it will do.

I agree, Abhisit should have stayed in the first place. Abhisit and his former administration should have had a plan for this.

Yingluck is just trying her best to clean up his mess.

Too bad the flood didn't flush that turd (Abhisit) and the rest of the PADI shit out to sea like a giant toilet..

Tears? Sure, tears of joy, because Pue Thai and their red barons are very happy indeed to see all of Bangkok swamped. This will teach those elite Bangkokians who to vote for next time round.

1. I refer to this newsflash:

2. The fact that people really are at it with k. Abhisit only tries to deflect the critisism on PM Yingluck, her government and the FROC. A FROC announced on the 9th of October together with the application of the "Disaster Law" in order to more adequatily control flood relieve measures.

From the OP post #1 above: ""I don't want to move out in a panic because the FROC system has not yet been set up," she said."

yeah, and that's the main issue people were discussing... the length of his absence

such BS to make any comment about it

No you've all got it wrong . This is what happened when Yingluck was out inspecting the current situation, Not tears at all just as the result of a bit of flood damage putting her off balance for a time.

[finnomick1]

She's not crying, she's just diverting flood water.....

[goldcountry]

Thailand should just give control of the country to the Americans and British until this mess is over as it is obvious they are too incompetent to be effective.

[newermonkey]

Looks like she might have hayfever. most Thais dont know what that is and get prescribed packets of drugs including antibiotics etc. by their quacks, but every October through to November I get hay-fever the symptoms are runny eyes, itchy throat and nose and the sniffs. the medication is a mild antihistamine before bed. :jap:

Justice and the mickey mouse Thai judicial system should never be used in the same sentence together.

If it was tears of compassion for the Thais who have lost so much then that can't be such a bad thing but if it tears because she fears for herself and her position then what can you say .....................
