Jatuporn Says He Ready For Cabinet Seat

[hyperdimension]

I hope he gets it. A powerful orator, a tireless worker and a upholder of democracy.

If he truly was an "upholder of democracy", the "powerful orator" would be protesting loudly in his uniquely offensive and uncouth way, against the very cordial meeting between Yingluck and Prem.

He was also strongly supportive of seeking justice for the injuries and deaths from the 2010 riots. Does he now support amnesty for all instead, without anyone being held accountable?

[hellodolly]

Jatuporn says he's ready for a cabinet seat, Ha Ha Opinion in Thailand thinks he is not fit for a toilet seat. Embarrassing for Thailand, another eye opener for Asian opinions, DEMOCRACY ???

I thought they had a minister for toilets already.

Oops sorry I forgot the just the seat part. Ya I think he might be able to handle that.

[gemini81]

A cabinet seat?! How about an electric chair instead??

[rubl]

I'm sure our dear Pheu Thai party list MP and UDD leader Jatuporn is just as ready, capable, knowledgeble, suitable, showing potential, etc., etc. as all PM Yingluck's cabinet members including Pheu Thai party list MP and UDD leader Nattawut. Handpicked more-or-less, all of them.

BTW anyone here who has even a faint idea what the heck Dept. Minister for Agriculture Nattawut has done since being confirmed by the PM in January 2012?

[MEL1]

Minister for Defecation.

Oh! Come on.... .... his surname includes porn..... he's allowed a bit of blood? The quincy, uincyiest bit?

He is well qualified for the job. The job of PTP is to bully, buy votes, sh*t on others who don't agree with you, kill oppressives, and get as much as you can.....

He is the PERFECT PTP MP candidate, no matter where he has jumped from gun to gun for the last five years??? A delightful candiate for bringing Thaksin home...... a Dubai vote couldn't come at a better time.

What have these qualities got to do with being a cabinet minister in Thailand?

[EyesWideOpen]

I say dump the Miracle Thailand campaign, and resurrect Amazing Thailand. The very concept that this person could actually hold a governmental position of importance is simply beyond belief. This is in light of what he has done in the past. I would think that his speech of encouraging red shirts to burn Bangkok to the ground alone would stop him from holding a position in government. Or.......maybe he would fit right in !!!!!!!

General consensus then?

We all like him a lot, a very lot.

What is published is that his mother disapproves of his actions.

That she pleaded with her son to stop his disrespectful actions.

That she would like to see him, because he hasn't gone to see her in years and years.

That he refuses to even accept her phone calls.

That his older sister confirms her brother's abandonment of their mother.

That his mother has health problems.

You apparently seem to think that sort of behavior is acceptable and have chosen to focus instead on speculating on content that is not present in the article, for which one might reasonably construe that you are defending the reprehensible actions of a son towards his own mother for reasons probably best left unsaid.

It certainly doesn't have to be, especially when there's no concrete evidence of it.

It's fascinating to see the spin away to avoid a cretin's disgusting behavior to the woman that gave birth to him, but coming on the heels of the tireless efforts to defend a hospital intrusion, I shouldn't be surprised.

And another point, beyond belief that the govenment, any government, would give a ministerial position to a man who has no values or morals - deliberately played a doctored tape in parliamnet, deliberately played it again at the red rallies after it was proved it was doctored, and I've heard it was played hundreds of times, after it was proven to be doctored, at the so called red democracy schools (read hate sessions).

The man is totally bereft of any values or morals and he's blatantly dishonest. Seems to fit a mould.

'video evidence'!

i didn't say they had weapons or acted in a violent manner, i don't think they did..... you can do neither and still be intimidating when you're 300 strong.

i'd be intimidated if a crowd of 300 turned up at my property, nevermind being a 90 year old woman and them being opposed to your son!

i don't need video evidence to form that opinion, i thought it would go without saying.

CABINET RESHUFFLE

Jatuporn poised for promotion to Cabinet?

The Nation

Red-shirt leader ready to be deputy interior minister while PM keeps her cards close to her chest

BANGKOK: -- Pheu Thai MP Jatuporn Promphan yesterday hinted he was ready to accept the post of deputy interior minister in what could be the most explosive Cabinet appointment yet by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

Yingluck, facing weeks of headache as the 111 banned politicians will have served their five-year political banishment at the end of this month, kept mum on her plans to reshuffle the Cabinet. "Let's not talk about this at the moment," she said.

Despite her unwillingness to discuss the Jatuporn issue, speculation has intensified over the past few days about the red-shirt leader's "promotion", not least because of explicit support from the exiled Thaksin Shinawatra and Deputy Prime Minister Yongyuth Wichaidit.

Thaksin's suggestion

Thaksin had suggested during a recent phone-in to the red shirts that Jatuporn would be up for an imminent reward. The latter's persistent and belligerent mobilisation of red-shirt protesters two years ago led to legal charges against him, but also the eventual downfall of the government of Abhisit Vejjajiva.

Although Jatuporn's critics will point at his numerous violations of the law in an attempt to undermine his qualifications to hold a powerful post for keeping law and order, he faces virtually no legal barriers to becoming a deputy interior minister. Uncertainties over his MP status will be decided by the Constitution Court this month, and even if he ceases to be an MP, he will still be constitutionally qualified to be a minister. His legal trouble stemming from the red-shirt uprising two years ago has not been ruled on by the court, hence it will not hinder his ambition to join the Yingluck Cabinet.

However, analysts see intensified speculation about Jatuporn's "promotion" as a potential conspiracy to pre-empt it. In this scenario, people who don't want him to become a Cabinet member set him up for public scrutiny by spreading news about his imminent "promotion", hoping that a public uproar over his past and the "reward" could torpedo his political rise.

Jatuporn said yesterday that it was up to Yingluck and her big brother Thaksin to decide his future.

"PM Yingluck has a direct mandate on the Cabinet line-up and my future is still a matter of speculation," he said.

He said his immediate concerns were his life-long devotion to the red-shirt movement and his MP status. He said he did not know whether he would have his House seat after the May 18 verdict on his qualifications.

He said he would serve in any capacity deemed necessary by the prime minister.

He dismissed the allegation that he might become a lightning rod for the government if appointed to the Cabinet, saying that as a red shirt, he was not the "weakest link".

He said he did not foresee a power struggle between Pheu Thai MPs and the 111 barred former Thai Rak Thai members who will complete their ban this month, arguing that the prime minister would assign each individual to serve in an appropriate role.

Yingluck refused to answer a direct question on the Cabinet line-up, saying this was not the time to comment on the issue.

Deputy Prime Minister Yongyuth Wichaidit said that in his opinion, Jatuporn was qualified as deputy interior minister but the prime minister would have the final say on the matter.

Yongyuth said that despite the wild speculation about the Cabinet line-up, Yingluck had not indicated plans to shuffle her ministers at this juncture.

Deputy Agriculture Minister Natthawut Saikua voiced support to bringing his fellow red shirt Jatuporn into the Cabinet.

Natthawut: No demands

Natthawut dismissed concern that Jatuporn would cause a greater political divide, saying the red shirts did not make any demands but would abide by any decisions on ministerial appointments.

Democrat MP Thepthai Senapong wryly said he had already congratulated Jatuporn on his upcoming appointment.

"I think the position of deputy interior minister is too small for Jatuporn," he said.

Thepthai said he had heard that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra might reward Jatuporn with a "surprise" appointment. Thaksin should agree to name Jatuporn as the interior minister, he said.

He said he welcomed the return of the 111 barred executives upon the completion of their ban.

Culture Minister Sukumol Kunplome said her husband Sonthaya was poised to join the Cabinet after the expiry of his five-year ban this month.

Sukumol said she expected Sonthaya to replace her.

Sonthaya, meanwhile, said he was open about the ministerial quotas allocated to his Palang Chon Party.

He said he was awaiting a signal from the prime minister, denying the allegation that he was lobbying for either the Culture portfolio or the position of tourism and sports minister.

PM's Office Minister Woravat Auapinyakul said he believed certain Thai Rak Thai figures would join the Cabinet in the next few months, arguing that the present line-up showed temporary appointments.

The Industry portfolio might need to be filled with a real office holder and positions being held concurrently might be reallocated, he said.

He said a person with a clean record such as Suwat Liptapanlop might be invited to join the Cabinet while splinter individuals such as Newin Chidchob and Anuthin Charmvirakul might find it difficult to work with the Pheu Thai Party.

He also said the ruling party might need more time before resuming ties with the faction leader Somsak Thepsuthin.

"Jatuporn said yesterday that it was up to Yingluck and her big brother Thaksin to decide his future."

What has it got to do with Yingluck? Isn't she just a puppet?

[Buchholz]

Trash like Jatuporn doesn't stand much chance against the 111 banned MP's when their time is up...competition for posts will be fierce.

Indeed it will be, but in this morning's other paper is report detailing that Jatuporn will join the new Yingluck Cabinet when the reshuffle is tentatively done in June/July.

He will then join former banned Thai Rak Thai luminaries Varathep Rattanakorn, Pongthep Thepkanchana, Chaturon Chaisaeng, Suwat Liptapanlop, and Sonthaya Kunplome.

Kunplome would be a particularly interesting prospect as his wife is already in Yingluck's

Cabinet.

There may well come a day when Jatuporn and his friends have been found guilty of terrorism, and when they drag him into a room, strap him down, and inject lethal chemicals into his veins.

I find it interesting that those charges still stand. Arisman will be the first to face them and IMHO the most likely to get the bad news. I'll bet London to a brick that will wipe the shit-eating grin off of old J's face. I will make a point of replaying your touching sentiment when it happens.
