Thai PM pleads for political understanding
By English News



BANGKOK, March 20 – Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has asked for a chance to run Thailand until her four-year term expires.

She is currently under scrutiny by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) for giving false statements on a loan for Bt30 million to Ad Index Company in which her husband, Anusorn Amornchat was a shareholder. The company secured the loan in 2006-2007.

The prime minister said she has submitted all relevant facts and information to the NACC and confirmed that the information was correct.

“I hope the NACC and government agencies concerned will treat me fairly,” she said.

Regarding reports that a ‘reserved’ prime minister will replace her in case of a political accident, Ms Yingluck said, “Don’t you want me to work anymore? Please give me a chance. People have given me the chance for over a year. I want to work until the end of my tenure to prove the government’s performance.

“Don’t look for others. Yingluck insists on working for the people with her full capability.” (MCOT online news)

I can be convinced, why don't we meet at the Sukothai on Sathorn for a "business meeting" to discuss "politics"...

“Don’t look for others. Yingluck insists on working for the people with her full capability.”

Starting date please.

Well, it's not really up to her how long she gets to run the front office, right?

[A Member]

Many years ago her brother escaped judgement on the deciding vote of 1 judge who later said Thaksin was guilty but the judge had decided to give him a chance because he was PM. Will this now be a case of Deja Vu ?

No problem, as far as that's within the conditions and restrictions set by the law, of course

[bigbamboo]

Shouldn't this grovelling be directed at her brother?

[Moruya]

Et tu, Thaksin?

The prime minister said she has submitted all relevant facts and
information to the NACC and confirmed that the information was correct.

Apparently she is not feeling to confident, in fact rather nervous, with all the correct information she submitted.

Sounds like she is admitting that something illegal was done, yet she begs to be treated fairly. And in another breath, she does not really want to be treated fairly but rather she is asking the "judges" to ignore the issue and forgive her. Please check all logic before entering the country.

[Markaew]

Yes, we wouldn't want to disrupt her next annual world tour!!

They were so productive before!! (cough...cough...gag)

[MaxLee]

So what, if she can't run her Prime Minister term for 4 years,... then we can get ready for another royal rumble between PAD and UDD on the streets of Bangkok again,...

Taxi for Yingluk!

“I hope the NACC and government agencies concerned will treat me fairly,” she said.

Here we go. Another self proclaimed victim of her own inability to provide statements that at least make sense.

The Shins have so much stolen wealth to hide that sometimes they make mistakes. That is a risk they have to manage. In this case they failed and they should pay for it.

[Fozfromoz]

Give no quarter and ask for no quarter, amended in this instance to give no quarter but ask for 3.

What do they say in baseball............yeeeeeeeeeerrrrrooooooouuuuutt!

[DLock]

Yingluk's destiny is to be a footnote on Wikipedia highlighting her complete failure as a puppet PM for Thailand who brought the country to it's knees because of an ill conceived rice pledging scheme and Government borrowing beyond it's means or requirments.

Dance puppet, dance.

Asking for political understanding is a hoot coming from a member of the most intolerant family, and party, around. Funny how they are all sweetness and light when their nuts are in a vice, if it was someone else they would be tightening the screw

Past and present history with this bunch is that everyone pays for their blunders.

Case in point, 10 million Baht of tax payers money for a new election so that Yaowapa Shinawatra can take the MP position her chauffeur was holding for her while she was banned for electoral fraud.

Yingluck = BS

[kerrysum]

Gotta admit,

Some great posts from everyone.... I can not say, "hit her in the n*ts, because her brother had none....."

If I have offended, I apologise...... Maybe the pint is a pound, the world around...... No, and I will not cry for her....

rotten to the core , it was only a matter of time ... she did come from a rotten family tree .

[siampolee]

Now there is a salutary lesson being learnt .

Yingluck took the poisoned chalice from her brother and has drunk deeply from it, now she is beginning to suffer from the consequences of drinking from that poisoned chalice.

Did she really think her brother was handing her a chalice full of pure unadulterated power wine without a taint to it ?

Her brother cares for no one but his own selves his assorted mindsets and alter egos. Indeed he is a legend in his own minds,

Whatever he (Thaksin) may pass to anyone it will always involve a penalty payment that deflects the affects from Thaksin himself, that is the puppet masters right.

[billd766]

She has already had over 1 1/2 years to prove her worth and value as the " Real PM " and so far not a lot of good has been done for the country and the population as a whole.

[SOTIRIOS]

..run it into the ground..........or flood waters....to the tune of trillions.....

[jackspratt]

Have any of our illustrious TV pundits given any thought to what happens if she is disqualified?

Replaced by another PTP puppet of Thaksin's, so what really is achieved?

[Bagwan]

All the Shinawatra family come from the same mould - but some are mouldier than others. Allegedly.

[angmo]

She will probably get kicked out and 4 years down the line the court will say - oops - we made a mistake - sorry.

Probably the DEMS trying to dig up something like a cooking program on Television again.

Well, a lot of booze will be consumed by our in house pundits and we'll search around for a new butt to our comments. I take your point though. Maybe better the devil you know?

[drdoom6996]

What does she mean "working for the people". We have seen her people become the very rich and friends and FAMILY. What about the other 95% of Thailand. Who is gonna help them?
