Tearful PM calls for forgiving
The Nation



BANGKOK: -- With tears in her eyes, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Monday called on all sides in the political conflicts to forgive and forget and have compassion toward one another.

Yingluck made the call when members of 24 families, whose relatives were killed during the red-shirt crackdowns in 2010, met her at the Government House.

The group expressed support for the amnesty bill, saying relatives of the slain red-shirt protesters agreed that the amnesty would be he best way-out for the country so that it could move forward.

Yingluck thanked the group of relatives with tears in her eyes.

"I would like to thank you all for making sacrifices so that the country could move on," Yingluck said.

Commenting on mounting protests against the amnesty bill, Yingluck said she would like to call on all sides to have sympathy for others and forgive their opponents as well as having compassion for others.

"We must lend our hands in helping the country. The first thing that must be done is to forgive one another so that everything could move forward," Yingluck said.

"If the government does nothing, the country will slip back to the same circle of violence," she added referring to the amnesty bill.

She said the government had to keep order during the protests and she believed the demonstrations would be peaceful.

She added she had instructed police to be patience and abide by the law and avoid clashes with the protesters.

Croc...o...dile

You can forgive but you cannot forget

And to forgive, the truth must be revealed first.

Yingluk is hopelessly out of her depth talking meaningless platitudes

It can't be nice to be despised by almost every educated person in Thailand.

Are you kidding me.

She uttered this whilst crying? How untouching....

Oh so now she cries again. Sorry ii-puu but no one's buying those tears. You and your puppet government can go F yourselves.

Amnesty has value and effect ONLY after both sides realize the extent of damage they have caused to their country.. They are still very far from that.

A clear sign of extreme stress for Missy. Brother has his head in the sand in Norway but probably has ten of his minions monitoring the situation here minute by minute.

I'm really ready to forgive Ms. Yingluck for this bill. I believed her when she said she had nothing to do with it, knew nothing about it, hadn't read it, please ask my Thaksin's Pheu Thai MPs.

Now for the relatives of 24 dead, truly amazing. Ms. Thida of the UDD has told us all her members want justice, not just the 7.5m Baht compensation. Did she loose touch with them? What's next, the application to the ICC to investigate withdrawn?

Pathetic attempt to gain some sympathy through a little staged drama.

Yingluck - "Dear people of Thailand, please forgive me for fleecing all of you by purchasing votes from the uneducated/poor and allowing my party to grant amnesty to my corrupt brother so that he can be by my side to tell me how to run the country, rather than having to do it via phone. I am growing a tumor from all the radiation from holding a phone to my ear."

Crying out of frustration because her smiles and stories have not been able to mislead the public in order to whitewash her brother.

What a load of <deleted>.

They were obviously paid off as usual just so they could demonstrate a public forgiveness.

Crap, tripe, rubbish, bullshit, and going beyond tolerance.

If they think that the people won't see straight through this, they are very much mistaken.

'We need to forgive before we can move forward'..... hogwash.... Force this bill through and you will be moving backwards. Prior to when democracy was installed as your system of governance.

rubl,

Who is the 'Captain' of this ship? If the ship runs aground would you blame the cook? Missy is the PM for God's sake.

"We must lend our hands in helping the country. The first thing that must be done is to forgive one another so that everything could move forward," Yingluck said.

That is the first time she asks the people to do something, her government should have done from day 1.

What a hypocrite. Why not take the withwash of criminals part out of this bill if you really care about the people?

 

Are you kidding me.

She uttered this whilst crying? How untouching....

 

She was crying for her poor brother, who she was also talking about forgiving.

Is it possible for a sheep to cry crocodile tears??

Ah, but Ms. Yingluck is only the real traveling, being representative PM, her brother has to do all the real and hard work

Croc...o...dile

or perhaps .... Croc...o...bile or maybe just a croc

Aaaaaw, bless... poor wee girl being made to cry because her brother can't be home with the family.

You lot really are a bunch of heartless, cynical barstewards...

even money bet she has half an onion in her handbag..

Twenty four families is a little light on being an outright majority in a "democracy".

Pro-amnesty group gives PM Yingluck moral support
By English



BANGKOK, Nov 4 – Relatives of victims of Bangkok’s 2010 political upheaval met Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra at Government House today to show their support for the Amnesty Bill.

Tears brimming in her eyes, Ms Yingluck expressed appreciation to her supporters and called on all parties to extend pardon to others for the sake of the country.

She said the government has yearned for national reconciliation and progress, instead of repeated losses.

Somchai Jiampol, a representative of those who lost family members in the 2010 incident, said the group wanted to give the premier moral support and they believed the Amnesty Bill was the best legislation ever drafted.

He said the government should move on and they were willing to pardon though they still felt the pain of their losses.

Anongporn Prasupan, widow of a slain protester in the clashes at Bon Kai, in Lumphini, said she would be willing to bear the pain though those who ordered the murder of her husband would be set free.

“I simply want the country to move on. I do not believe that we have become a political tool in expressing our support to the Amnesty Bill,” she said.

Ms Yingluck said no matter what the outcome will be, not all parties would be satisfied with it but “we should be kind enough to pardon others.” (MCOT online news)

What about the other 71 families? Where are their representatives?

Basically they have hand picked a bunch of distant cousins and uncles etc, and paid them off with a couple of million each to act out this scene of reconciliation acceptance.

The first thing my wife said...... Money!

Please collect your pastry box on the way out, but please don't open until you reach home.

Anongporn Prasupan, widow of a slain protester in the clashes at Bon Kai, in Lumphini, said she would be willing to bear the pain though those who ordered the murder of her husband would be set free.

“I simply want the country to move on. I do not believe that we have become a political tool in expressing our support to the Amnesty Bill,” she said.

I am sorry Ms Prasupan but yes you are !

Is it just me, or does our teary eyed PM seem to have a bit of a smile on her face in this photo?

Almost close to this...

Yingluck must have taken a drama class at KSU and learned to tear up on demand.
