Chalerm offers his own version of reconciliation bill
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said Thursday that he would propose his own version of the reconciliation bill, which will be beneficial for all sides and bring about peace.

Chalerm held a press conference along with Yasothon MP Piraphan Palusuk, who is also the ruling party's legal advisor, at Parliament yesterday. There he told the press that he would send his draft, which is comprised of six Articles, to all political parties, including the opposition.

"If any agency wants me to explain the bill, I'll be ready," Chalerm said.

"If the Pheu Thai considers the draft to be good, it might sponsor it. I won't be against it if the red shirts want to sponsor the bill. But if nobody wants it, then I'll have the bill sponsored by a group of MPs led by Piraphan."

Someone's been busy over songkran I see.

He has been advocating adoption of his version of 'Ammesty/reconcililation' for several months. He has pointed out that he has crediatenals as a lawyer, vast legal experience, neutrality, sense of justice, etc

I would add that he and many of those involved in this government have proposed/passed laws tailored for individuals filled with loopholes, for indivual gain/immunoty, in the past, thus his proposal should accomplish what the 'good old boys' want, no problem.

"But if nobody wants it, then I'll have the bill sponsored by a group of MPs led by Piraphan."

That would be "nobody (but Thaksin)"

oh boy, this should be good.

"If the Pheu Thai considers the draft to be good, it might sponsor it. I won't be against it if the red shirts want to sponsor the bill. But if nobody wants it, then I'll have the bill sponsored by a group of MPs led by Piraphan."

So, if noone wants the bill, he'll propose it anyway. Democracy in action right here.

But if nobody wants it, then I'll have the bill sponsored by a group of MPs led by Piraphan." Or, alternatively, I may get my son to shoot someone in the face.

With apologies to Buddhist Thailand this will be the Gospel according to Chalerm. Glory to the word of the Lord, or else ...!

Let's all drink to that....!

Ear medicine all round then

If support for my bill is seen to be lacking I will send my sons round to explain matters in a more persuasive fashion.

I've lost count, but how many of different bill proposals there are currently ?

OMG ! This guy is soooooooo pathetic!

I stand aghast yet again. There is truly no end to this mans talents. I feel a real under achiever when I compare myself to such a master of skills and ability.

Maybe some "ear-medicine" will help you multitasking?

Don't blame him. His solution of the problem is clear and successful. After a booze-party with his reconciliation bill friends no one will know what they want really.

Last year our Dept. PM Pol. Captain Chalerm already mentioned to have written his very own reconciliation and amnesty Bill. It might have been 2011 even, can't remember clearly.

So, with this new bill forwarded how many different ones do we have now? Will we get the text of all of them any time soon? Possibly a comparition as well? Any time soon, like this year or so?

Ear medicine all round then

Yet another noob who laughs at his own statements.

Jeeeeeez.

'Chalerm.............offers.........own..........

WHY?

Ear medicine all round then

Yet another noob who laughs at his own statements.

Jeeeeeez.

He's not a noob but I agree, laughing at your own stale comments is pathetic and 6 self -congratulatory icons is, well, pathetic.

UPDATE:
CHARTER AMENDMENT
Chalerm offers his own version of reconciliation bill
The Nation

BANGKOK: - Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said yesterday that he would propose his own version of the reconciliation bill, which will be beneficial for all sides and bring about true peace.

Chalerm held a press conference along with Yasothon MP Piraphan Palusuk, who is also the ruling party's legal adviser, at Parliament yesterday. He told the press that he would send his draft, which is comprised of six Articles, to all political parties, including the opposition.

In his bill, Article 3 stipulates that anybody who took part in political rallies or related activities after 2006 would not be regarded as having committed an offence.

Article 4 stipulates that any action committed at the order of the September 19, 2006 coup-makers or those appointed by them would not be regarded as offences.

Article 5 stipulates that those who are adversely affected by political rallies will be compensated.

"If any agency wants me to explain the bill, I'll be ready," Chalerm said. "If Pheu Thai considers the draft to be good, it might sponsor it. I won't be against it if the red shirts want to sponsor the bill. But if nobody wants it, then I'll have the bill sponsored by a group of MPs led by Piraphan."

Chalerm went on to say that he would not gain any benefits from the bill, but "people across the country stand to gain. All political cases will be over and the country will have peace," he explained.

The deputy PM said he believed the four reconciliation bills, which are pending the first reading in the House, will be difficult to enact, adding that his version would be easier because it granted blanket amnesty to all. Piraphan told the press that he had studied all previous drafts of amnesty bills, including the four pending in the House, and he preferred Chalerm's version. He said that for true peace, amnesty should be granted to all groups otherwise the conflict would never end.

He said people needed to realise that supporting Chalerm's bill will help rebuild peace in Thailand from scratch, adding that they also need to know that political cases were based on undemocratic situations earlier.

As Dr. Bruce Banner used to say " don't make me angry you wouldn't like it if I'm angry "

Last year our Dept. PM Pol. Captain Chalerm already mentioned to have written his very own reconciliation and amnesty Bill. It might have been 2011 even, can't remember clearly.

So, with this new bill forwarded how many different ones do we have now? Will we get the text of all of them any time soon? Possibly a comparition as well? Any time soon, like this year or so?

Don't worry, I doubt he can remember let alone clearly. Chateau Ear Medicine 1932

I stand aghast yet again. There is truly no end to this mans talents. I feel a real under achiever when I compare myself to such a master of skills and ability.

and he has such a presence too

I've lost count, but how many of different bill proposals there are currently ?

With all the bills, amendments and public posturing I would bet the politicians and their staff have lost count too

Chalerm went on to say that he would not gain any benefits from the bill, but "people across the country stand to gain. All political cases will be over and the country will have peace," he explained.

I cant see how this will bring peace in the south of Thailand......

Do you recall Don Altobello in The Godfather posing as the peacemaker,Michael Saw through him and he was poisoned by sister Connies cannoli..the Bang Bon Don could do with an Italian -extra spicy of course!

Article 3 stipulates that anybody who took part in political rallies or related activities after 2006 would not be regarded as having committed an offence.

Get out of jail free card then for anybody doing anything at any time since 2006 . . . just claim it was politically motivated. Stupid.


Article 4 stipulates that any action committed at the order of the September 19, 2006 coup-makers or those appointed by them would not be regarded as offences.

Another get out of jail free card for everyone else that article 3 doesn't cover.


Article 5 stipulates that those who are adversely affected by political rallies will be compensated.

Yeah, right.

'Chalerm.............offers.........own..........

WHY?

Surely not because the DPM is feeling lonely or marginalised or unwanted, after going all the way to Hong Kong, but not being able to meet or speak with the Master, even on the phone ?

As rubl points out, this is not Super-Chalerm's first stab at a amnesty reconciliation-bill, wonder how similar this version might be, to his original one ?

And if nobody wants his Chalerm #2 version, then he'll still get someone to sponsor it anyway, how very helpful !

Back in the real ( ? ) world, if the government wants a bill, shouldn't the legal-PM propose one, and instruct her party to rally behind it ?

Yingluk has enough conflict of interest problems. Better to let Chalerm to present this, as the stink of corruption from it will hardly noticed above his normal odor.

The PM can then be portrayed as the gilded lily, and hopefully people won't notice that it grows from a midden.
