webfact Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 POLITICS Nuttawut meets Thaksin in Hong Kong but politics "not on agenda" The Nation File photo : Nuttawut BANGKOK: -- Deputy Agricultural Minister Nuttawut Saikua on Tuesday admitted he met fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra in Hong Kong last weekend but says politics did not enter into their discussions. Nuttawut travelled to Hong Kong with Jatuporn Prompan, a red leader, who is tipped to join the government of Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's sister. Nuttawut said he had some errands to run in Hong Kong while Jatuporn wanted to take a short vacation. They took advantage of their visit to meet Thaksin, which was a normal thing to do, as they had not seen each other for a long time. Asked about the reshuffle, he said all decisions were to the prime minister. The minister guaranteed with his honour and dignity that during the meeting with Thaksin, they did not talk about domestic politics. Thaksin convey his concerns to red shirts who are detained or injured, urging them to look after one another and provide each other with moral support. A reshuffle of Yingluck government seems imminent following Yongyuth Wichaidit's resignation as deputy prime minister last week. Many politicians seeking cabinet seats have been seen travelling to Hong Kong to meet Thaksin although Yingluck has insisted there will be no reshuffle. -- The Nation 2012-10-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thai at Heart Posted October 9, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2012 Aren't these blokes all pending prosecution of god knows what? Shouldn't they have surrendered their passports. I mean, who lets people out on bail to visit places, it isn't as though they haven't got some rather pointed history of people absconding on bail. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbamboo Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) The deputy agriculture minister had some errands to run? This man is supposed to be a member of the government not a messenger boy. Anyway he then talks about a Thai politician's honour and dignity...... so we know he must be lying.

billd766 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Why is it that when EVERY PTP and wannabe politician goes to visit Thaksin somewhere politics is NEVER on the agenda even though they only go to visit a convicted fugitive? I can understand that they have to convince their supporters of their love for Thaksin but I fail to understand the contempt they show for everyone. Do they assume that people actually believe what they say? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ballpoint Posted October 9, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2012 I happened to have been travelling out of Swampy last Saturday evening and saw a small group of police and assorted arselickers swarming ahead of me, blocking off the travelators that head out towards the gates in the 'C' wing. I walked alongside and overtook them to see the unmistakeable figure of Jatuporn towards the front of the group. At first I though they were heading for Dubai, which was the flight I was catching, and would have made for an interesting trip had one of them been sitting beside me, but remembered Thaksin was in Hong Kong. Sure enough, the next occupied gate was for TG to Hong Kong. I can well understand the police following a couple of criminals out on bail when they try to leave the country, but in most countries it would be in order to drag them back, not to wave them goodbye. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like David Beckham goes to see Sir Alex Ferguson and him saying they did not talk about football once.

jonclark Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 For all the wrongs these guys do there is one underlying fact (which speaks volumes about a myriad of aspects of thainess) that no matter how much their opponents hate it, the divisions it creates in society. These PTP MP will continue to visit Taksin as its almost a pilgrimage (like Muslims and Mecca) that they all need to make once in their political life to prove their the 'good guys' and the voters love it. So long as the pilgrimage is made once, the voters will forgive all other sins (corruption, murder, treason) and vote them back in time after time after time. So there probably was no agenda discussed. The visit was the agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP suggests a different agenda, 'some errands to run and just using the opportunity to say hello to an old friend' Nuttawut said he had some errands to run in Hong Kong while Jatuporn wanted to take a short vacation.
