D-DAY

PM abroad on decision day

THE NATION

BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra will be attending the Asean-US Business Council in Cambodia on Friday when the Constitution Court delivers its verdict in the charter amendment case.

She will be a keynote speaker at the gathering of businesspeople from the United States and Asean countries in Cambodia's Siem Reap province. However, the prime minister did not appear worried about the imminent court decision.

"I have to stay focused on my duty. I have a mission to complete," Yingluck said. She added, however, that she would be following the court decision in Cambodia.

Yingluck has been invited to the council meeting by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is leading the US mission to the gathering.

Foreign Minister Surapong Towichukchaikul said Yingluck will leave Bangkok for Siem Reap at 3pm on Friday and will have a discussion with her Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen before giving the speech. It is aimed at restoring the confidence of Asean and American businesspeople in investment in Thailand.

"I have to stay focused on my duty. I have a mission to complete",

Your mission should be for the good of the Thai people not to only benefit your family!

Perhaps....... in the vain of reconciliation, the spirit of working together and finally taking overall consideration of others into play, the esteemed court, could be so kind as to inquire as to when her importantness will be available and back in Thailand as to be able to be in attendance , and then the court would make the announcement at this much more convenient time.

After all we all know how much she would want to be in attendance.

I think just a nice re conciliatory type of gesture on the part of the court.

Yep, wouldn't we love her to define her mission! Pity it does not involve Thailand.

No doubt GK, PPD, JB, TH and the rest will be on later to tell us that her continued absence from parliament is justified.

Just wondering, what time will the court read it's verdict ?

It would be so cool if the court stated on Friday 'The court ruling is delayed until such time as the Prime Minister graces the nation with her presence for such an important decision'.

1. The court should remain independant and it should be seen to be independant.

2, Given her track record, seems to me she will ensure she is abent on whatever date they hand down their verdict.

3. Sorry can't agree at all that the court should be making 'reconciliatory' gestures. In fact IMHO 'reconciliation' as espoused by the pt, udd, reds etc is a smokscreen for whitewash of one man. In relaity what would get the wonderful country back on a healthy road it toal respect for the law and the processes of the law.

Yingluck's very own Mission Impossible.

"This one-policy, democratic-facade sham-party will self-destruct in five seconds."

He was joking.

[Skywalker69]

Biggest surprise......ever.

[saltandpepper]

How surprising!

She badly wanted to be here, but, as you know, she has a miction to complete (errrr sorry, a mission.....)

[smedly]

Why can she not deligate stuff like this to a competent foriegn minister - perhaps because there's most likely an uneducated thug doing that job like many others in her cabinet

[Moruya]

Is that her official position?

RE quote 2)

Absence seems to be the the family trait.. wasn't her brother also abroad when the court handed down his verdict ??

[WhizBang]

Is that her official position?

Yes. Her official position is: I know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing and I say nothing.

[MunterHunter]

Hey c'mon guys, lets be fair to the lady please...

... shes gunna be in Cambodia, gloating over the fact Thailand has cleaner toilets than they do!

[fareastguy]

Yingluck has been invited to the council meeting by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton..

I wonder if that will include a little 1on1 meeting to clarify just what her duty to Thailand might actually be ??

[SuneeTH]

Abroad?

Remember Thaksin last went abroad? he never returns.

I smell another coup. The 2012 good coup.

[Moruya]

Yes. Her official position is: I know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing and I say nothing.

I meant "mission" - must be a bit early for smutty innuendo.

I think you need to take your pills...Your nose is congested

It would be very kind and respectful if the court could wait till our prime beauty is back.

he last went abroad when he jumped bail.

He came back after the coup.

You can't beat a good coup. Parties on the street, flowers for the soldiers, photo oportunities on the tanks for the girls and Thaksin gibbering away on Al Jazeera

[AleG]

Now, come on, she doesn't need to be there to hear the verdict, what for?

That and the issue of her lack of leadership and avoidance of parliament and any sort or form of public debate are different things. She is not needed or required to sit in court to hear the verdict and harping on that only serves to throw chaff to those who would cling to the smallest, most rotten piece of straw to defend her pathetic "premiership".

If it were her only absence, that would not be noticed, or that would be understood.

Problem is that she is ALWAYS away when something happens here. Photo ops, handy craft thing, flood areas tour, etc, etc...

How many bags has she packed????

Point taken.

The thing is....it´s true.
