Suthep Calls Chalerm "Mr Know It All''

Suthep Thuagsuban has described Chalerm Yubamrung as ''Mr Know It All'', given his having made comments about varied questions to which he had seemed to know the answers.

The former deputy premier criticized on Tuesday his successor for remarks he had informally made about the killing of Maj Gen Kattiya ''Seh Dang'' Sawaddipon and matters related to last year's army crackdowns on Red Shirt protesters.

Chalerm recently concluded the sniper who shot dead ''Seh Dang'' happened to be a police lieutenant general attached to the northeastern region and collaborated with a group of high-ranking police officers, who, he said, disguised and armed themselves as ''men in black'' during the height of the anti-government protests.

Those ''men in black'' included one police lieutenant general based in Bangkok, according to the deputy premier in charge of police affairs. He alleged they wore a black fatigue to do their secret missions during the massive protests and then reappeared in khaki uniform.

''Seh Dang'', viewed as a renegade army general who had been critical of a previous Abhisit government and the army's top brass, was survived by his daughter, Kattiya, who is currently an MP of the ruling Puea Thai Party.

Nevertheless, Suthep shrugged off Chalerm's comments and said he might probably take legal action against the deputy premier on duty-negligence charges if he failed to bring those suspected police officers to justice.

''(Chalerm is) such a Mr Know It All who could talk about everything as if he already knew the answers. Why didn't he take action if he knew who (killed Maj Gen Kattiya)?,'' said Suthep. [more...]

Getting to sound too much like Jataporn now,

It appears that whoever came up with the old adage "promote people up to, and thru their level of incompetency" may have had this country in mind.

he might probably take legal action against the deputy premier on duty-negligence charges if he failed to bring those suspected police officers to justice.

Interesting concept.

Given that Chalerm knows who did it, why shouldn't he be charged with negligence (or something) if these police officers are not charged?

I hear a lot of claims and new from this guy,, but never hear any retractionand/or apology when the statement are just Bull. I suppose this is his way toconvince stupide people who do not check other facts and there are many of themin Red Camp

Yes, Charlerm is a know it all, he not only has Bangkoks finest at his disposal but international private detectives too. He might even know the lottery numbers.

evrything heating up nicely and nobody has ever proved what side the black shirts were on.

Patience. The Deputy PM has something underway.

Indeed it is a splendid special Christmas contest a called, ''Find My Brain."

Yes, I think Suthep should take back this remark it obvious Charlerm knows nothing at all. Did you know that char pronouce correctly in Thai means retarded and lerm in Thai means forget. Isn't ot ironic.

didn't Suthep say he would, live under a rock, if the Dems lost? no such luck
