Yingluck government abandons duty to help Thaksin : Democrat

BANGKOK:-- The government has failed to meet the expectations in all 16 policies due to its misguided focus of rescuing fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

"For the past eight months, the government has abandoned its duty to address the people's grievances," Democrat Party spokesman Chavanond Intarakomalyasut said Tuesday.

The government had no tangible achievements since it came to power, he said.

On the policy of reconciliation, efforts were devoted to helping Thaksin eluded his conviction and punishment instead of mending fences.

Compensation payments were made to the red shirts while security forces and people impacted by the street protests received a lesser assistance.

Despite the war of drug, the Office of the Narcotics Control Board conceded that the arrest records for traffickers in the past six months were less than those taken place in the Abhisit Vejjajiva administration.

For flood control, major plans were still on the drawing board and not yet implemented.

The South saw 1,461 people killed in the past eight months and the car bomb attacks in Hat Yai and Yala were suspected to have been triggered by the meddling of Thaksin.

On the wage hike policy, the government could not raise the minimum wage to Bt300 per day and implement Bt15,000 salary for university graduates in the civil service as unconditionally promised during the campaigning.

The corporate tax cut was the only policy that the government could fulfilled its pledge.

Yes sure, the corporation tax cut was the most important. The corporations always need more money 555. Thaksin is a corporate globalist and will hurt Thailand if he comes to political power again.

"The government had no tangible achievements since it came to power, he said."

They have kept the dems out of power for 8 months already which is a major achievement.

The one thing they have done benefits the rich companies.

And there I was thinking that they wanted to help the poor.

But not one of their 16 policies.

It's called the trickle down effect. Eventually a little bit of the money will have trickled down to the poor

That was the true agenda from day one, bring back Big T

<deleted>????, I was positive that Chalerm had personally collared every dealer in Thailand. He was on tv with drug dealers every day, of course he was smiling and patting them on the back.

What is that guy smoking?

All PTP Red propaganda was about Thaksin. And Yingluck (clone of Thaksin) first duty is to help her brother.

They made it pretty clear before the elections.

So what is wrong with it?

So true !!

This is indeed true and now we see what the then unquoted return fare actually is. 46, billion baht, might be a bit cheaper if the return was in low season.

Soon as they bring him back, they will lose it. One way or another.

So you didn't notice the fact that the democrat party were in government for approximately 2 years 6 months and yet their "tally" is being compared to only 6 months of the Yingluck government.....................

Totally true one cannot dispute the fact.

However the assorted diversions provided by those you idoloise and support did rather restrict the efforts to lessen the drug trade which no doubt increased dramatically due to the behaviour of the Red Shirt movement and its disruption of law, thus causing a diversion of investigators from the drugs issue.

Your wasting your time. If Hitler was a PT he would idolize him also.

In the future I believe he would appreciate it if you did not post facts,

Not a complete failure then.

OK the graduate students didn't get their money and neither did most of the poor workers but even BB can't please everyone. At least the rich business owners got their money and lots of it.

Now you're being unfair, dear siampolee. You totally ignore the effect of the Global Financial Crisis which had been ignored by the k. Samak and k. Somchai governments because they were a wee bit busy with trying to get k. Thaksin back

Did I misundestand all those posts about the police doing nothing and having to call the army in to "subdue" the red shirts? I really don't think the police were that deterred from tracking down the "drugs issue" as you put it. It could be because the army was otherwise engaged there were less drugs being ferried about I suppose...........

The army too busy, so the police helped the 'drug problem' ?

Anyway, the PM Yingluck government seems really keen on Pheu Thai "it's not about Thaksin" and "Thaksin thinks, Pheu Thai accts". Would be enough for a normal person to get slightly schizophrene, I think

Thanks for the explaination, dear PPD. Mind you you replied to my reply on siampolee's post. If you had just replied to his post I'd probably have left you guys to it.

Ah well, almost 1PM with later today a working day. Have fun here

OK the graduate students didn't get their money and neither did most of the poor workers but even BB can't please everyone. At least the rich business owners got their money and lots of it.

the part regarding the minimum wage is rich coming from the dems since the rise to 300B in 7 provinces and the 2-step 39.5% raise now and 300B Jan 2013 was to accommodate the business lobby / dem-backers.

I believe that is called 'hypocrisy'...

That same old propaganda is used by you and your fellows who blindly support a corrupt self serving megalomaniac and his dubious aims.

Typical stance of those trendy again pseudo intellectuals who can afford their policies and who in reality have no experience of the delights of Thaksins governmental policies nor have actually seen nor experienced the implementations of the self serving dictatorial policies enforced by Thaksin and his cronies both inside and outside of Thailand.

Come up for air and smell the reality before it is too late,your stance is much the same as those who supported Franco in the Spanish civil war.

That war was nothing but a practice run for another dictator to practice his war skills later in European expansionist and total domination warfare campaigns along with the occupation and subjection of other sovereign states and their peoples in a relentless pursuit of absolute power..

Why would the business lobby support increases in minimum wages?

Unfortunately, Thaksin will have to gut the country for some people to understand the problem. When he was thrown out people were cheering. Five years of billionaire funded propaganda and agitation later, the late arrivals are cheering on a would-be despot in the name of democracy. Most ironic.

The corporate tax cuts are to entice foreign business. This is especially important since the floods of last year. However their other antics are more than enough to put off any prospective companies from investing in Thailand.

The one thing they have done benefits the rich companies.

Reaganomics Trickle down,

Thaksinomics Trickle UP!

"For flood control, major plans were still on the drawing board and not yet implemented."......

Despite the 120 billion that has already been corrupted spent.
