webfact Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Deputy PM Vows to Bring Thaksin Back This Year BANGKOK: -- A deputy prime minister has vowed to bring self-exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra home to Thailand within this year. Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said he has his own ways to bring fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra back to Thailand within this year, but refused to elaborate. The deputy premier further said the country needs reconciliation and it is time for all parties to unite. When asked what he would do to bring Thaksin back without the need to serve his prison time, Chalerm declined to talk about the details. However, he insisted that the ex-premier will definitely return and the majority of the population will rejoice upon his return. As for Thaksin's remark that he will return home within this year, Chalerm said he does not aim to gauge the public's sentiment while adding he has already completed the draft bill on national reconciliation. Asked if there is any link between the return of the former premier and the reconciliation bill, he still kept tight-lipped on the issue. -- Tan Network 2012-03-08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDrSomkid Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Oh boy, Chalerm spouting off again, but won't reveal any details. Was he (allegedly) drunk again? There is word for him that is just on the tip of my tongue. Something with a c.... What was it again?

MaiChai Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Why is the deputy prime minister wanting to bring back a convicted fugitive on the run? Presumably to serve his sentence? Will he be saying this every year? Thought he said that last year. How are all the parties going to unite? Does anyone know of any country in the world where all political parties agree with each other? I obey the law and like others to as well. If people break the law then they may get caught. If they caught they will go to court and might go to prison; thats the risk you take when you break the law. Do the crime do the time.

slapout Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 He and his boss in exile seem to expell sh/t on a 8 to 10 day time frame. They get the minions, PR people, etc, to fill in between their spurts of crap. Kind of like the soi dog I watched the other day. someone had set a broken morror out for collection and the dog was barking, growling at his/her reflection. All would probably chase their own tails if they had one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know and expect there to be opposition and that it will result in bloodshed, and they will be ready for it. They are getting their thugs ready for war.

animatic Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) This appeared in BP today "He said Thaksin was told by the Bank of Thailand that he could endorse the land purchase contract for his then wife Potjaman Na Pombejra. The endorsement later earned him a prison term for abuse of power. The Civil Court nullified the contract and ordered Ms Potjaman to return the land in exchange for the return of her money. But Thaksin's critics continued to use the issue to attack him. Mr Chalerm repeated what he said last year that since the sale of the land was nullified, Thaksin has done nothing wrong." He can come back because he did nothing wrong and therefore the court's conviction carries no weight. I love the Thai thought process. The Bank of ThaIland didn't have the authority to tell him that. If the Bank head simply told him what he wanted to hear, that's his problem. He was the PM, he had the Attorney General under him, he had EVERY possible opportunity to find out his exact status to sign, It was his duty and responsibility top do so. He didn't. He signed and we know the rest. But really, this was only the EASIEST charge to get through the courts, that Kuhn T. has 7 other charges pending. Being in Jail for Racha would have prevented him stalling the others going forwards. There is the REAL problem for Thaksin. Life in prison; case stacked after case after case. Chalerm said " He has done nothing wrong." So is THIS an official pronouncements of the truth, or just more of Chalerms 'political grandstanding' to keep the bosses stipends arriving in his accounts.

Misterwhisper Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Is the man drunk again or is he suffering from yet another episode of inner ear infection? Why to him 'reconciliation' is synonymous with 'bringing back Thaksin' remains a mystery. Maybe he has an eye infection as well, that's why he can't see clearly.

theanimaster Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 This sounds scary. Not the fact that Chalerm wants him back, but the fact that Chalerm wants him back SO SOON? Doesn't take a goddamn brain surgeon to realise that Thaksin will be in danger if he came back while blood was still boiling over in a lotta people. I'd be careful about Chalerm if I were Thaksin.

rubl Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 2010-08-05 "After deadly clashes, Thai opposition regroups "If you want everyone to be treated the same way under the eye of the law, vote Puea Thai! If you want to see democracy and equality, vote Puea Thai! If you want Thaksin back, vote Puea Thai!," Chalerm told cheering supporters." http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/08/06/us-thailand-politics-opposition-idUSTRE6750E920100806 2011-11-23 "Parliament gets a hot potato Deputy PM Chalerm vows to 'restore justice' and bring back Thaksin; PM Yingluck insists the amnesty decree is not meant for her brother The government will put in place an amnesty law that can "restore justice to all parties" who were involved in the political conflict, including former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said yesterday. Chalerm added that he would wait for "right timing" to push the act through Parliament. "I will not say when the time is right, but I will push for it and will do so openly," he told reporters. The veteran politician added that this draft decree was not meant for Thaksin because the government was aiming to rescue him openly via a legislative act." http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/Parliament-gets-a-hot-potato-30170452.html So, pray tell me, what's new ?

Doesn't take a goddamn brain surgeon to realise that Thaksin will be in danger if he came back while blood was still boiling over in a lotta people. I'd be careful about Chalerm if I were Thaksin. I agree. It seems reckless of Thaksin to keep such volatile, controversial and utterly embarrassing political company. I suspect that someone is a loyal hound and his absolute loyalty forces His hands, the Mighty Thaksin, He. Perhaps that's precisely what Thaksin has in mind. Let Chalerm kill himself, via his own mouth, slowly by putting him close to the limelight but not close enough to do any real damage. Som nam naa...

Truth is Thaksin has to many enemies and he knows it. He is afraid to come back to Thailand and it has nothing to do with the charges hanging over his head or the one he has already been convicted of.

MaiChai Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You have to understand Charlem and Taksin go back a long way. They were buddies in police academy. A bit like making friends at University; these friendships become life long friendships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
