Chalerm Proposes Curfew For Deep South

[AleG]

That'll work...... have a curfew to protect the teachers from being murdered when they're not around. Maybe have one during the school hols as well.

Ehhhrmm... ehhh... hic!

Then make it a daylight curfew!

Problem solved... hic!... let's have a toast to my genius! hic!

[OzMick]

Along with the curfew, we should have a blackout like England during the WWII Blitz. Then the bombers won't be able to see where to drop their bombs.

[Robby nz]

Me thinks you all are to tough on the De beauty PM and his ear problem.

Heck I never knew he drank until I saw him sober.

Chalerm reminds me of the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz

More like the lion who was looking for some important part ?

Chalerms most important parts is his..........ears.

[David006]

a curfew ......would it not mean no transportation ,no vehicular or pedestrian traffic, no restaurants, bars,food vendors,711 etc open.....??

....I guess we can expect a further announcement as to the government's compensation package budget for night workers and businesses......could be great money spinner for some?

[tuky]

The problem with Chalerm is, he has no imagination.

Thai PM's origami initiative takes flight

Monday 22 November 2004 23.57 GMT

Having failed to quell months of escalating unrest in three southern provinces by force, Thailand's unorthodox prime minister is hoping plane loads of origami peace bombs will defuse the tension.

Thaksin Shinawatra has urged all 63 million Thais to make at least one paper bird in the next fortnight so they can be dropped on the three restive provinces on December 5 as a sign of goodwill to mark King Bhumibol Adulyadej's birthday.

So here is the most brilliant report so far..

"He said the authorities in charge of southern security will meet Friday to map clear-cut measures to deal with the southern insurgency."

So why has it taken 8 years Mr Chalerm or is this just another headline grabber for the sake of your family scrap book? The 'authorities' so far have their heads up their collective asses and have not had any answers so what makes you think 'they' will have anything more this time around? By all means... explain your stupid statement.

[TackyToo]

That's it! I have enough of this "Chalermnism." The "Pink Bentley Panther" is constantly making a joke of himself, the Thai society and the entire country. In a civilised country he would not even get a job as a department store manager. However, as long as Thais don't realise, or should I say- don't care, who is running this country, they deserve what they got! Are they all on ear medicine overhere?

Well I have a mixed reaction to your post. The PT need him to replace Jutuporn as the company mindless clown.

As for department store Manager I agree. But I do think he would have a real good chance to be a department store dummy.

Unrelated but I am curious. Would a curfew cover people out to buy ear medicine at the nearest liquor outlet?

I take it you are talking about Thaksinites.

Chalerm reminds me of the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz

You may not have intended it, but you have heaped tremendous praise on DPM Chalerm.

You need to watch the film again. The scarecrow was brave and loyal to Dorothy, even putting his life at risk protecting her from the wicked witch. Throughout the film, it is demonstrated that the scarecrow has inherent common sense and is actually quite smart. He was the one that came up with the plan to get into the castle to rescue Dorothy. The scarecrow turns out to be the wisest man in Oz.

Jeez.

I regret to tread upon your derogatory assessment, but the man's ideas and policies resonate with a significant part of the population. Many people like the concept of a "strong" approach, aka the tough guy strategy. I'm surprised he isn't the poster boy for the many TVFers that speak out in support of military rule and a more authoritarian method in the south. T

he chap is representative of the Thais that believe strong arm approaches work best. His thinking is similar to many supporters of the Democrats. He may be a member of PTP, but he is cut from the same cloth as others that wear military uniforms and Democrat party labels. There are plenty of people like him in the PTP and they are often at odds with the progressives in the UDD. I expect that if he were to leave the government, many of the redshirts and the academics that are aligned with the PTP would be out celebrating.

[arthurboy]

He cited Krong Pinang and Yaring in the southernmost province of Yala as two districts where curfews will be necessary as part of security measures to protect the public.

Yep, tell them what your'e going to do; it'll give these murderers time to change their tactics. In fact they are already and obviously using far better intel and strategies than your circus troupe of bumbling buffoons could ever hope to deploy.

Chalerm also said that, 'the authorities in charge of southern security will meet Friday to map clear-cut measures to deal with the southern insurgency.

So what the hell have they been doing up to now?

Utter and total muppet of the first order.

It's not a hat under his desk that he pulls ideas out of, its a bodily orifice.

The man's ideas and policies resonate with a significant part of the population - that would be the uneducated, the ignorant, the ill-informed and the plain stupid. I would estimate their numbers to be about 47% at the latest count, though that figure includes the venal and the delusional (characteristics are not exclusive and more than one may be exhibited at any one time).

Jeez.

There's a thought. Chalerm could be the wisest man in the cabinet.

Come to think of it..........

[simple1]

It is claimed that the RTP had requested Chalerm for authority to put in place a nigh time curfew.

The Defence Minister has rejected the proposal as unnecessary and has blamed lax law enforcement for going problems in the Deep South. He claims areas under military surveillance are safe for the local population. So here we have the two main organisations responsible to security in the Deep South in public contention - does not look good.

I respect your opinion! However, I don't think his personal record and that of his siblings and his recent behavior and actions are appropriate to act as a vice prime minister for any country that aims to be respected by the tiny little rest of this world.

[sunshine51]

Is it just me or...have a look at Chalerms picture...look at the right side of

his mouth (your right not his).....does it look like somebody just smacked

him in the gob?

BINGO the man has finally figured it out give the man a prize. An all day sucker would be appropriate. It could be ear medicine flavored.

some of us thought he would never see the light. But he has witness in his very own words.

"I regret to tread upon your derogatory assessment, but the man's ideas and policies resonate with a significant part of the population."

What he forgot (I am sure he knew it) he wouldn't omit an important fact like the fact that many of them got there education in schools with out electricity. There progression in school was contingent on there being there for the graduation. Had nothing to do with education.

this is indeed a red letter day in the life of GK.

Ok, so you want to put a number on his support. I think it is less, particularly since the progressives in the PTP dislike the man and many in the UDD would be delighted to see him vaporize. Whatever his support, it is the price one pays to have a country where people are allowed to vote for a government. I dare say, if it wasn't the PTP version of a Chalelm, we'd be treated to a similar version from a military junta.

I am not particularly fond of the man nor his policies, but that is my opinion. Unfortunately, what you miss is that he has support from people of all political affiliations, and that's the aspect that is worrisome. Chalerm represents that segment of the population that gravitates to authoritarian measures. This then puts him in the same camp as many in TVF that like military juntas and strong arm tactics. If one reads the recently closed thread on an "African" arrested for drug dealing one sees all manner of comments advocating the suspension of basic liberties and of actions much more draconian than those espoused by Chalerm. These TVFers are also the first to criticize Chalerm's authoritarian measures. Go figger.

[geriatrickid]

As in supporting the progressive part of the Redshirts?

Seriously though, how can anyone that believes in the preservation of basic liberties and rights be a strong supporter of Chalerm? He is the antithesis of anyone that believes in due process, the rule of law, transparency and a government accountable to the people. He's a throwback to the 70's and I think he's in the government to keep some of the iron fists in the nationalist and military camp happy. If the PTP was truly a progressive party he wouldn't be a DPM. when I see how PM Yingluck manages the man I am reminded of a mother that gives tasks to her child such as helping to make dinner or sorting the laundry as a means of occupying the child to keep him from getting into trouble or making a nuisance of himself. Short of dropping the kid off at the orphanage, or leaving him out in the country, she's stuck with him and does her best.

Sorry I am not sure of the rite terminology but isn't

"As in supporting the progressive part of the Redshirts? "

a contradictory statement.

As for being a strong supporter of Chalerm that comes automatically when you support Thaksin and his minions. If Ying luck didn't want him she could tell her brother she was going to hold her breath until she turns blue if he dosen't get rid of Chalerm.

You realize of course that Yingluck is a strong supporter of Chalerm,

Are you saying that she dosen't believe in the preservation of basic liberties and rights ? He is the antithesis of anyone that believes in due process, the rule of law, transparency and a government accountable to the people.

Your opinion of her matches mine.

I don't need to put a number on his support, it was done for me. This drunken, moronic oaf from a family of criminals was placed slightly behind an equally mindless pampered woman who knows SFA about government or the life style/struggle of an average Thai, who also comes from a family of criminals and whom she is prepared to commit perjury to defend, on the PTP party list. It then descends through a succession of low-life until it gets to a string of mercenary scum who were paid to manipulate with lies the uneducated people they supposedly represent, and who are only out of prison because their political position delays their trials.

IMHO if that you wish to have in government then yes, you would have to be uneducated, ignorant, ill-informed, plain stupid, venal and/or delusional. I would also include a few other possibilities like gullible and amoral so as to include those that believe giving control of your money to a bunch of thieves will make life better for you.
