webfact Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I am still alive, Thaksin tweetsThe NationBANGKOK: -- After being away from Twitter for over a year, fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra chose April Fool's Day Monday to come back - to rebut rumours he had died in an accident in Dubai and say he will soon post articles on Facebook to share stories he thinks interesting."Hello Thailand! Sawasdee krub, my dear Thai brothers and sisters. I have been away for a long time, I'm back here to greet you again as I received phone calls from my family since the morning.They told me there were rumours that I might have died in an accident in Dubai. Then many of the red shirts and people who were concerned also called me.Here please allow me to tweet and clarify that I am doing fine. There was no such accident as [in] the fabricated story. It's April 1, April Fools' Day," he posted.-- The Nation 2013-04-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I am still alive, Thaksin tweets Thats really is unfortunate. I wonder if we could get a second opinion. I think he is being kept alive by various machines as he is very obviously brain dead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they wouldn't let you join. Edit: just to confirm I am joking, wouldn't want to be suspended and I know you're a sensitive soul.

MunterHunter Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Tweeting is hardly proof the guy is still alive, anyone with his account details/password could easily post something under his name. Lets be honest, if he had met with an 'accident' they would want to keep the news quiet as long as possible so as not to upset the apple cart back in the LOS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWideOpen Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The funny thing is..I know his exile is a constant grating on his skin, and annoys him to know end, which is why its funny Of course. :-) Nothing more painful to a self aggrandizing person than to be removed from his throne of power. Of course I have to say his looting of the country from afar is going really really well..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhizBang Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Such wonderful timing on his part to twit on April Fools Day (if indeed it was him twittering). So, maybe he really is dead. (Just hoping). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virtualtraveller Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 If Thaksin was dead you would know about it because the govt would suddenly have no clue what to do next, and all the urgent absurd policy directions would thankfully cease. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mampara Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Oh goody said the families of the people murdered for being drug suspects, a total violation of human rights, on this guy's watch, we want to talk to you. Well to say the very least, the drug trade dropped for a while during his term, but suddenly picked up in his absence. I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
