PM Yingluck Goes To Parliament Under High Security

animatic · June 9, 2012

She entered the house under threat of a mob, are the yellow shirts still there I thought they had been replaced by the red shirts. Some give this woman too much credit, I know some think she is in the same league with the Lady from Burma but I would like to know what you are smoking

Once inside the only 'mob' she was trying to blame was Democrat MP's,

who have been trying to be allowed to SPEAK in Parliament.

That is the main statement she made.

The only protestors outside Parliament were HER BACKERS, the Reds, who CHEERED HER.

This is a stunt and photo-op.

Those were not security people they were there to vouch for her idenity, thus her right of presence in the haphazard working of government, for which Thailand is becoming infamous.

did the article say the army is in Parliament? escorting the PM about?

has it started?

Has what started??

They were there to protect her because someone may ask her a question she cannot answer. Like "who is the prime minister of Thailand "

High-level security was arranged for Prime Minister Yingluck

LMFAO...What a joke of dramatics!!!.....She is in absolutely no danger of being whacked. When was the last time you saw someone assassinate the dummy instead of the ventriloquist? To off her might actually allow her piece of dog squeeze brother to portray himself as a sympathetic caricature of a human being. Whacking her instead of square-face would be like whacking Joe Biden....Obanana would be so thankful to not have to worry what the idiot would say next and would ride the outrage and sympathy into another term.

If I recall right Premier Chuan walked (on the street) without security into his office, every morning.

FOODLOVER · June 9, 2012

Must have had one of those gps systems to find Parliament, this absentee failure of a PM is disgraceful. How many signatures to impeach this fraud?

KireB · June 9, 2012

I was inside the secure Novotel hotel compound during the Bangkok hijinks. It was quite comfy. They had a nice buffet spread for the government officials and military officers, but alas I was not invited.

I take you are upset that the agitators were unsuccessful in blocking the PM's entry? Why? The fact of the matter is that a group of hooligans attempted to intimidate representatives of the people, representatives that had every legal and moral right to enter the House. are you of the view that a government must suspend all legislative activities because a group that lost an election disagree with a bill the elected government wishes to vote on? Are you saying that you believe that legislators should not be allowed to execute their legislative obligations?

Nice.

What if that bill would state that all gay people in Thailand should be executed, or all Issan Thais castrated? Would you call people demonstrating against this hooligans as well? According to your logic an elected government can do whatever they want, they can change the constitution, the laws, etc..!

The next amendment might implicate that all foreigners residing in Thailand will have to wear yellow stars on their shirts! All in the government's right according to you!

There is a clear and fine line between executing democratic rights and a full blown revolution or civil war.

What has been blocking her entry every other day? She doesn't need protests or protesters as an excuse, anything will do.

A quick comparison - number of debates participated in over the last year

Davis Cameron 43

Julia Gillard 203

Yingluk SFA, Zero, Nil, Nada, Bugger All, zilch Should be jailed for taking money under false pretense.

The PM has most certainly attended debates in the House. Please cite the official attendance record for the PM rather than lie.

If YOU Are refuting what Ozmick is saying why don't YOU provide proof.

Also the Yellow demonstration DID not stop Parliament the police inaction / orders did that.

And I agree with the 1st line about a PM entering Parliament. It it amazing that yesterday she was far to busy to attend but decided another nice photo shoot would be OK today complete with army body guard IN PARLIAMENT <deleted>.

Doing some work on the other hand!!

It is customary for the person making a wild allegation to substantiate his claims.

He wrote; Yingluk SFA, Zero, Nil, Nada, Bugger All, zilch Should be jailed for taking money under false pretense.

His statement is false and it is malicious because he demands that the PM be jailed for taking money under false pretense.

The PM was ridiculed in TVF after voting on the 2nd reading of the reconciliation bill. As her vote was registered, she was deemed to have been a participant.

Go back to August 25. Do you remember when she presented her government's policies to the House , unveiling her government's legislative plans? Do you recall when she was criticized for speaking too long, because she spoke for 2 hours straight, delivering a speech that ran 44 pages? Didn't some of you people call her a windbag for talking too much?

What sort of PM makes headlines because she enters the bloody building?

A PM from the party that won a decisive election?

A PM that showed that she will not be stopped by those that do not accept the legal legislative process of elected MPs?

BTW, that appearance will win her some points with the electorate as she showed that she won't be intimidated by hooligans.

The PM just might be rebranded as the lady with courage prepared to face those that seek to deny the people the right to choose their representatives. So many opportunities to show the electorate the difference between the PM and the defeated former PM Abhisit. One is calm and poised, while the other participates in a tantrum in the legislature.

GK ... you are quite some piece of work

I am sure you are just having a laugh trying to provoke people

or did you spend two summers ago outside central world and

now you too are brainwashed?

These 'hooligans' protest against the whitewashing of a criminal ex PM and murderers! There should not be any reconciliation bill, prosecute them all, on both sided!

Try drawing the line at dealing with the current facts, avoid creating fantasy situations that are designed to stir an emotive reaction with their outrageous content

Yes, you go and organize a petition and remember to sign it. Your opinion counts as much as your vote.

And when the people of Thailand re-elect her should she wish to run again, you can tell them that you, the great foreigner that had to come to Thailand, has all the answers and that they must listen and obey your directives.

Wait and see my friend. More and more people are starting to realize that she is as much as a dirty hypocrite as her brother. Soon she won't be able to move anymore. Most probably she will end up hiding in Dubai too.

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Care to make an internet wager?

Between the Democrats bungling and the CC overstep, the PM's approval ratings and support will benefit.

Wait for the polling results.

So why is Thaksin hiding? Something to do with the polling results? Or nothing to do with it? Or just being a coward?

Well the attempt of whitewashing the crimes of a megalomaniac mass murderer, his cronies (like his own sister) and those responsible for the deaths of protesters in 2010 is not much more outrageous than the fantasy situations I came up with! But thank you for commenting on my post, rather than giving your own opinion!

ttelise · June 9, 2012

Yawn, both sides are equally to blame and equally immature. Things will never change because of this type of attitude by both sides. So much energy, time, money and effort wasted over Thaksin. Yellows created the situation of making his stature somewhere between hero and martyr. The more yellows fight, moan and groan, the more powerful he actually becomes when he comes back. Easy psychological concepts and common sense

I don't agree the "yellows" created a Thaksin as hero / martyr, to the democracy-movement ("yellows") he is a convicted criminal who ran away, pure and simple. The hero-martyr thing is by the redmob who find his billions of baht strangely alluring. Its amazing the power a multibillionaire can hold over people who don't have anything, isn't it. What a surprise.

I agree that "time money and energy" wasted on Thaksin - but can you make the logic-leap to understand that it is the "redmob/PTP/Yingluck" chimera that has dragged Thaksin back into the limelight and centrestage and thus it is the redmob who are wasting time, money and energy - which I will agree with you on.

Haha, completely went over your head about hero martyr thing. Precisely the reason why the yellows keep acting as they do because they don't get it.

Crap. To participate in a debate you stand up and speak, not sit there nodding your head like a dummy. Do you think that the UK PM has only voted 43 times? That is the measure of the UK parliament, speaking, not just voting is considered participation in the debate.

.44 pages , easily counted as she turned them over, then turned and ran.

As her vote was registered, but WAS SHE THERE?

And even if she was, 1 vote in 9 months - you consider that sufficient?

You see, you can do it, I think you have just pointed out why Yingluck is being selective in showing support for the bill......it would quickly be construed as an abuse of power if she became heavily involved don't you think?..........remember impeachment in Thailand is only the blink of an eye away....

Ah yes the UK PM has to struggle with a fragile coalition the same challenge that hounded Abhisit.......

The electorate in Thailand however decided Yingluck would avoid such distracting circumstances

"PM goes to Parliament under high security"

I would hazard a guess that the high security was just in case she got lost, as she's probably forgotten her way by now.

-mel.

I would think that it should have also said against her will.

Yunla · June 9, 2012

I assure you that I do 'get it', and refuted your point by saying (to paraphrase) the democratic movement merely view him as a convicted criminal who should face his custodial sentence under the law. That does not equate to the democratic-movement turning him into a hero or a martyr, it just makes him into an erring citizen recieving the punishment from the state for his crimes. If other people see Thaksin as a hero or martyr for going to prison after he committed crimes, then that only proves those people are somewhat oafish.

Just what Thailand needs a PM who can't show support or disapproval of a bill.

But she can stand up for a Photo Op.

Yep family photo with her brother...ooops wait that might get her into trouble....sad you cannot understand where a conflict of interest charge may suddenly spring from....

It's some state of affairs when you have to be accompanied by 10 armed soldiers to Parliament.

Seriously, people need to take a step back here, things could easily spiral out of control.

I fear things are already out of control and it could be some time before any sense of normality returns. PTP and it's leadership resemble Billy Smarts Circus more and more each day. Bring in the Clowns.

Nah, more like a cross betweem Fred Karno's Army and a chinese fire drill.

Google Wiki and Fred Karnos army for and explanation.

And this differs from what passes for governments past here in Lilliput how, exactly?
