Chalerm collapses again
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung collapsed in his office at the Labour Ministry yesterday afternoon and was rushed to hospital.

He was talking to Pol General Pongsapat Pongcharoen, the secretary-general of the Office of Narcotics Control Board, about organising a meeting for drug suppression when he collapsed.

He was rushed to Ramathibodi Hospital at 1.45pm. Chalerm had just returned to work for a week after undergoing an operation for bleeding on the brain.

Dr Surasak Leelaudomlipi, director of Ramathibodi Hospital, said that though Chalerm's fists were clenched, he could talk to the doctors and interact with them normally.

Chalerm will be kept in hospital for observation.

Time for him to retire and pass the torch on to one of his fine and upstanding sons!

[saakura]

Let us hope he repents for all the sufferings he has caused to this country.

and allow Plod to become PTP's undisputed clown in chief.

Who the hell goes back to work one week after a stroke?

Please stay at home, at least for your own sake.

[rametindallas]

It sounds like a stroke. I shall light a candle and incense for Chalerm. I much prefer him to Plodprasop.

Please go to work for everyone's sake ...except your own.

[Somtamnication]

If he sat on a toilet while chairing these meetings, this would not have happened.

after all, one of his sons was Mr. Toilet.

A cerebral bleed is the opposite of a stroke, sounds like he is on too much anticoagulant or is in hepatic failure. Time for Chalern to pay for all those years of drinking copious ear medicine. PS: A man that's afraid someone will get his spot at the trough goes back to work one week after a cerebral bleed. I would bet his family would prop him up at his desk after he is dead to keep his salary coming in.

The foot-in-mouth abilities were unaffected, then.

Better light a bon fire...

A pink Bentley will be going up for sale soon if anyone's interested.

Nasty, malicious and troll post removed. Please stay on topic and please be civil.

Lucifer will be warming up some pokers for when Charlem turns up..happy days

[Swiss1960]

Sorry guys, you might not like him or even hate him, he might be one of the worst kind of politicians... but at the end of the day he is a human being with family...

Might be worth a try to be civilized yourself...

Hard to be respectful of a corrupt gangster who's sons are notorious, violent thugs and one an alleged murderer.

Chalerm reckons he's a hardman and tough guy so let him and his family handle the deserved criticism and comments on an internet message board.

Not even a fraction of the pain handed out by him and his ilk.

I'm sure over on the Thai boards the comments will be infinitely worse...

I think that all those who have been physically, financially, emotionally and legally hurt by him might argue the human being part of your post. And don't even get started on his family

[Valentine]

What has organizing a drug suppression meeting with a police general have to do with being the Minister of Labour.

[ilyushin]

Hope the doctors advise him to stop working and stay at in the hospital to improve his health.

[Ricardo]

Yay for Karma !

One down, many more to go, and across the whole political-spectrum.

[eddie61]

and now for the bad news....

[GrantSmith]

No surprise to hear that this happened, I was at a certain hotel last Friday, where I bumped into old mate and his posse - he sure has some protection detail, I counted at least 20 of them! His party of 4 (wife and 2 other chums) knocked back at least 2 bottles of red wine (good for the heart though ) that I saw and I'm sure he'd been there for a fair chunk of the afternoon.

I hope he doesn't kick the bucket just yet, we need more of his commentary on all things that can be resolved within 90 days!

[borisloosebrain]

Reading the outpouring of commentary about Chalerm on Thai social media sites yesterday was an eye opener. As was the case when he collapsed last time most Thais posted that they hoped he wouldn't make it and expected that parties would break out all over the kingdom if he died.Many talked about his karma and said that he deserved a slow painful demise on his way to hell ( narok). Hehehe got to give thais credit where it's due.

[Songhua]

A long stay in hospital would be best.

*Deleted post edited out*

I never said that anybody needs to respect him. I never said that you must have any pity with him.

However, it is just cowardly to kick a man who already is on the floor. Do you guys also belong to the group of farang who believe themselves superior to the Thai and know better how the country should be governed? Are you members of the "we-farang-are-treated-so-bad-here" group who complains about everyhing from Visa process to address reporting to double pricing to Thai not respecting you (which I agree all exists)?

and now read the comments... "superior" farang wishing somebody to die slowly and painful and rot in hell... superior... my ass...

This puts it into perspective as he's not going to get much sympathy from we cynical, irreverent foreigners but when Thais are sticking the boot in it shows just what little regard he is held in.

His sons as well as Chalerm himself were quite happy to indulge in a spot of both kicking and shooting a man when he was on the floor as their track record shows only too clearly.

I suggest that we members of TVF club together and subscribe to Exit as a gift to Chalerm..Indeed many people in Thailand would appreciate that gesture
