Chalerm: Thailand is not terrorism land

BANGKOK, 8 December 2012 (NNT) - Deputy Prime Minister Police Captain Chalerm Yubamrung has affirmed yesterday that Thailand is not a country of terrorism after it was ranked eighth in the global terrorism index by the Institute for Economics and Peace.

Police Captain Chalerm downplayed the ranking by the US agency and attributed the misunderstanding to recent political protests in the country. He expressed confidence towards the operation of immigration police, the special branch police and other security units.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that the US has once believed that the terrorist group Hezbollah came to Thailand, but the issue was later proven false.

Police Captain Chalerm also expressed confidence that Thailand is not terrorism-prone as it is a Buddhist country and is not aligned with any major power bloc. He said the unrest in the south is deemed as being instigated by insurgents and separatists, not an act of terrorism.

The Deputy Prime Minister then pointed out that media reports which cover the incidents in the Deep South has been causing fears among the public while the local people do not share the same level of panic.

He however noted that he has been working closely with the authorities and is aware of the situation in the region. By RADIO THAILAND & INSIGHT INFO

Forgetting 'misunderstandings' and definitions of what or what doesn't constitute terrorism for a moment, this self appointed expert on internal security and insurgencies should really get out more.

I doubt that the the dead, injured and bereaved see this mess as a 'misunderstanding', so I suggest that Police Captain Chalerm starts with an extended trip to Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat to see the 'misunderstanding' for himself.

Shock collar wont work, lobotomy is the only answer.

Chalerm says "Better a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy!"

[espinoza]

I don`t think the UN, the EU the USA, the AU and the rest of the world care so much about what this bloke says, it already a fact.

[Crushdepth]

Chalerm must have missed this story:

30 Armed Men Storm Volunteer Base, Steal All Weaponry Available: Pattani

[espinoza]

I forgot, Thailand is already free of illegal drugs. Chalerm promised this just after the election. I suppose he`s right.

[MaxLee]

There are several Mafias in Thailand:

The Thaksin Clan

The Tourism Authority of Thailand

The NBTC

The Red Bull

The BMA

I think it`s already done.

[OzMick]

Note to Nation editors: to increase the hilarity factor add a picture of Chalerm flanked by those red shirt MPs currently charged. A son or two would put the icing on the cake.

BTW the best part of the joke is that Chalerm would never get it.

[jaidam]

It would be good to see some action taken against the sponsors of Samai Wongsuwan's bombing campaign in Bangkok in 2010. This is a prima farcie case of terrorism, and for me its quite shocking that payments to the bombmakers were not only made from a bank inside parliament, but the sponsor has been made deputy house speaker.

[espinoza]

What he mean is that the killing in the south is not terrorism because they have a fear case, or something like this. If the killing is not terror, what is it then ?

[OzMick]

Chalerm also says that firing RPGs at the temple of the emerald Buddha and airport fuel tanks was not terrorism. He has a rather narrow definition.

[WhizBang]

Shock collar wont work, lobotomy is the only answer.

Based upon the constant stream of rubbish that comes out of his mouth, I think he has already had a full frontal lobotomy.

[alstaxi]

Corruption land ....is that a better headline.

[culicine]

Oh I see, Thais are Buddhists so they could not possibly be terrorists...that's a joke right there....and he forgot Southern Muslim Thai terrorists!

[noitom]

It is sedition and terrorism both. Thais are in denial about the problem and if you can't recognize the problem you can't solve it.

Think of it another way- "spin time!"

An arrogant foreign nation ranks some unflattering index, such as Corruption, Crime, Judicial Killings and Thailand happens to make the short list. Just bump and twist: Yes there is corruption in every country; however, Thailand has made remarkable progress and will eliminate that short comming by _____ (fill in the date.) Plays well with the local voters and a lot of the gentle folk on Thai Visa (Works super well in the USA where that little evasion tactic was invented)

Why bother reporting this stuff? The US would be Thailands best budd if it were granted a military base and tourists will continue to come here in ever increasing numbers.

So lets all join hands and sing "I Love the Way You Lie"

[siampolee]

What is the secret that Chalerm has ?

He sems to be able to teleport himself from the planet on which he lives, a parallel world to Thailand where all is love and peace all the time and violence doesn't exist ( induced no doubt by copiuos amounts of ear medication) and he seems to bring his paralleled world mindset with him and cannot actually see or even comprehend the truth that the nations of this world see and comprehend..

Beam me up Scotty.

[chainarong]

You are quite correct sir Thailand is not Terrorist land , but , heed my warning, Mr Chalerm, your country is a border line case, some would say a basket case, but I am much more kinder , border line will do.

[TomTao]

Talk about denying the obvious.

You are quite correct sir

Chainarong.

Sorry but I felt I had to correct your spelling error, see below.

You are quite correct sir cur.

Cur being the more pertinent spelling of the word sir in Chalerms case.

[smedly]

I don`t think the UN, the EU the USA, the AU and the rest of the world care so much about what this bloke says, it already a fact.

if Charlerm says it's not true and everybody else is wrong then ,,,,,,, he's right - right ?

After all his track record is one of honor and distinction - right ?

[Mosha]

I forgot, Thailand is already free of illegal drugs. Chalerm promised this just after the election. I suppose he`s right.

Yingluck, said at the beginning of the year, that the problems in the South would be solved by April. Granted she didn't say which Aprilt

[Fozfromoz]

If its not terrorism land, it's a pretty good facsimile, of what could be considered as one.

April 1st?

Siampollee, how remiss of me , these new spell check gadgets, since being made in China, ain't half as good as the old ones, seriously , you could have a field day with some of these characters that run Thailand , maybe its the thai to english format, but they say some overloaded crap, amazing Thailand, you betcha.
