Skywalker69 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 If she is that serious about cleaning up corruption, she should tell big brother to take his medicine, return home and go to jail.... This incessant referencing her brother does not add to the debate and is tedious in the extreme. Stay on topic. Just ignore the gorilla in the corner.

silsburyhill Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I take it from the 'gorilla/elephant in the room' remarks that these posters are labouring under the delusion that Thailand was corruption free up until Taksin? Or even that .... it escalated under Taksin? Suely not. Anyone remember the massive land scandals surrounding Leekpai, just one example? i could go on. The fact is that government wrongdoing of any stripe and in any country worldwide is being increasingly reported. We are no longer in the 1950's. And Taksin was perceived as a threat to the status quo, therefore an easier target. Yes he and his family/cohorts are as bent as a 99 baht note, but do not lose sight of the fact that the rest fared no better. Simply stronger patronage ...

ginjag Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 You think Abhisit fared no better than this lot, go and have another drink, and I am no Demo., I do believe he was decent, this family are NOT decent in their way of governing.

bendejo Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 She should start by bringing her brother to face justice Wouldn't that be cool! The story turns into one of siblings competing for power, cutting each other's throats (among other things) as opposed to the puppet master charade currently being played out. Lure dear brother back and then throw him in the dungeon - now THAT would be entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 All Sectors of Thai Society Urged to Join Forces in Fighting Corruption BANGKOK:-- Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has urged all sectors of Thai society to join forces in fighting corruption, so that the country would move forward with greater stability. The call was made at the workshop “Anti-Corruption Strategies,” held at the Government Complex on Chaeng Watthana Road in Bangkok on 18 May 2012, when the Prime Minister also announced the Government’s anti-corruption strategies and its proactive plan against corruption. Apart from provincial governors, senior officials, and members of the private sector and the media, representatives of the diplomatic corps and international organizations also took part in the gathering. Minister to the Prime Minister’s Office, Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan, and the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission have been assigned by the Prime Minister to integrate plans from all relevant agencies in the fight against corruption. Minister Niwattumrong said that a working group had been formed to work out the anti-corruption strategies and the proactive plan, which were proposed at the workshop. The workshop came after the Cabinet on 8 May 2012 approved the strategies and the plan, aimed at raising public awareness of counter-corruption and creating transparency in government agencies. Speaking at the workshop, Prime Minister Yingluck cited corruption as a major problem resulting in a great loss of national budget. She quoted a study undertaken by the United Nations that the corruption problem has become a threat to economic and social stability. It increases the cost of doing business, leads to the loss of natural resources, excludes the poor for public services, and corrodes public trust in the government sector. The Prime Minister stressed the need for everyone to eliminate this social ill, which is an obstacle to national development. Aware of the importance of fighting corruption, she said that the Government has set anti-corruption in the public sector as an urgent policy, which seeks to adhere to transparency and good governance, based on universally accepted norms. According to the proactive plan against corruption to be implemented within one year from now, the Government will launch an awareness-raising campaign by honoring government officials who are honest, or have outstanding achievements in anti-corruption. It will encourage government agencies to propose a “clean initiative” for greater transparency in their performance. This initiative will be spread more widely to help in efforts to fight corruption. On this occasion, Prime Minister Yingluck also presided over the opening of the Ministry of Justice’s Anti-Corruption War Room, where complaints about corruption are obtained around the clock through the hotline 1206.

ginjag Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 What's on every readers lips ??? Why didn't she talk to her police chief family member ( top man)---then if she happened to attend a government meeting have a quiet word with MP's--then try big business--another outlet would be local elected city and town heads, you don't have to be a brain surgeon to understand ..
