Former aide says Prem not linked to Pitak Siam rally

BANGKOK: -- A former aide to Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanonda yesterday dismissed fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra's suggestion that Prem was behind his participation in the anti-government protests.

Retired Admiral Phajun Tamprateep, former chief of the Privy Council president's office, said he joined the Pitak Siam rally on October 28 on his own, due to concern for the country. But he did not know its leader retired General Boonlert Kaewprasit.

Phajun said he would again take part in Pitak Siam's rally this Saturday at the Royal Plaza. "General Prem has nothing to do with my decision to join the protest. I no longer work for him. I went to the protest on my own, as someone who has concern for the country," he said.

"I don't know General Boonlert personally. But I joined the protest because I love my country. I am an old soldier but I still want to love the country and to protect the monarchy. I once vowed to preserve His Majesty the King's legacies with my blood," he said.

He rejected Thaksin's claim that he had plotted the anti-government rally with Pitak Siam leaders.

"That's not true. I didn't join any meeting [of Pitak Siam leaders]. I just took part in the rally."

In a phone-in to a red-shirt rally in Samut Prakan on Sunday night, Thaksin criticised Prem for "allowing" Phajun to join the anti-government rally. He questioned why Prem did not stop Phajun from attending.

Red-shirt leader Suporn Atthawong said yesterday that while Pitak Siam holds its rally on Saturday the red shirts would hold a parallel gathering in Bangkok's suburban areas but they would not get close to the Royal Plaza protest.

However, he threatened to mobilise red shirts from around the country within 24 hours - as many as 200,000 from Bangkok within two hours - to "protect the democratically elected government", if necessary.

Suporn, now a deputy secretary-general to the prime minister, said Thaksin told the red shirts to be ready for possible unrest due to the Pitak Siam rally.

Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung, who is in charge of the police, met yesterday with police chiefs and representatives from security agencies to discuss preparations for the anti-government rally.

I have seen the former dictator singing on TV while playing piano. Prem. Fidel Castro, they are in a matter all the same. They are becoming surely but slowly senile start wearing pampers again, have never held a tablet or used the internet and still they believe they understand what is good for the country. It is about time that we let them alone. There should not be too much attention for these old people as they keep on thinking that there opinion is still important. Prem is a dangerous man though just because the power in Thailand is in the hands of people with prostate problems.

There they go throwing around the word democratically again. I have one question, what does the word democratic and the current government have in common? Nothing at all.

For fear of being accused of flaming or baiting I will just say to the people posting on this forum "if the shoe fits wear it". If it does not fit then no problem.

Phone rings: Hello, oh hello Worshipful Master how is the weather in Dubai? Yes I am logged on to TVF now.

Yes my Lord I saw the article in the paper about Prem. Yes oh Majestic One let me get a pen and paper.

Ok Sire I am ready. Ok..........OK.........OK..........OK.......yes my most Beloved Leader I have it and will post this on TVF so all the haters of your democracy will be ashamed hehe.

Of course I agree with you my Gracious Hero, Prem is old and should be wearing adult diapers and is lost in the previous 100 years. I will surely convey your message my Blessed Khun Thaksin.

Thaksin can play piano?

He can't sing - that's for sure. Most offensive to the ears

200,000 Red Shirts in 2 hours?

The Deputy Secretary-General to Prime Minister Yingluck is taking his Red Shirt nickname, Issan Rambo, too seriously.

Now how would Thaksin currently living in Dubai know about "possible" unrest in a rally which has not yet taken place?

You are seriously suggesting that anyone sceptical of the situation in Thailand that does not conform hook line and sinker to the Nation/ Democrat/ PAD propaganda is doing so as a result of a direct line to Thaksin?

Here we go again. Why is it that the anti-Government brigade on TV can only engage is personal abuse of individuals and not try to seriously debate the political arguements?

From the start, Yingluck has been abused for her clothes, her handbag and everything else of a personal nature, even sneered at because she doesn't speak English as well as Abhisit does - not surprising seeing that he was born and educated in England! The personal abuse aimed at other members of the Government and Party is almost beyond belief.

Then we have the endless sneer that anyone who disagrees must be a snivelling, grovelling lacky of Mr. T.. A bit better than the previous claim that we were actually being paid by Mr. T.'s agent to post on TV, I suppose.

Surely we've cleared that up already - Size 12, I even gave you my preferred brands of footwear for different occasions.

If you're alluding to your conspiracy theory that anyone critical of the Democrats is posting on direct order from Thaksin then you are clearly more deluded than I jokingly suggested. Paranoia? Confusion? Irrational, illogical leaps of thinking? Take your pills!!!

The more things change the more they stay the same.

The media spotlight was focused on Privy Council President General Prem Tinsulanonda and Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra as they met publicly for the second time yesterday.

Prem was a guest of honour at the gala dinner hosted by the Yingluck administration at Government House last evening. Held under the theme "Love Thailand, Move Thailand Forward", the Bt10-million event was held to thank people and organisations for helping the government with its flood-relief efforts, sources said.

Catmac they do it because they have nothing sensible to bring to the discussion, if they did have I am sure they would let us know, but in the lack of any opinion that isn't plainly ridiculous they just go down this avenue so all their buddies can think how clever they are for making jokes, or posting pictures that have no relevance.

it is tedious and it is pointless, all it does is lifts people post count with garbage posts.

I guess he is worried about Thaksin's Prostate.

Maybe too close to it, considering the brown nosing, to not have some concern.

You can see by her wai that Yinkluck holds Kuhn Prem in much higher esteem than a tragic figure here does.

Ferangled is just a moniker. An empty label. A fictional character in the labyrinths of TV.

Behind that label could be Lord Lucan, Shirley Temple or Scooby Doo. Who knows in this virtual world?
