Visut vows to be a farmer if amnesty bill is revived



BANGKOK: -- House deputy speaker Visut Chainaroon announced Friday that he would quit politics and to work as a rice farmer if the blanket amnesty bill is to be reconsidered by the House after it fails to get the nod from the Senate.

The Pheu Thai MP pleaded with all the senators, including those who are against the bill, to join the Senate meeting in order to put the bill to rest quickly.

As for the concern raised by opponents to the bill that the Pheu Thai MPs may revive the bill after the expiration of the 180-day waiting period, Mr Visut said he was willing to trade his political career as a guarantee that the bill would never be raised in the parliament again.

He said he would quit politics and to return to the farmland to work as a farmer if the controversial bill is revived.

I am bookmarking this thread just in case. But to be honest. I can't see this party being in government in 180 days.

Did he ever get punished for his links to the Bangkok bomber that blew himself up? If I remember correctly wasn't Wisut's secretary found to have transferred huge amounts of money to the bomber from a bank inside parliament?

You forget that all DSI investigations into red and black shirts' crimes were stopped the day after the general election results were announced.

More money to be made from the rice scheme than in Politics then????

[Robby nz]

Shame really, he could have followed Chalerm's example and offered to have his head cut off.

Instead he would only be one of the richest rice farmers in Thailand.

[Ricardo]

Of course one can have total confidence in something said by a desperate politician ...

[Puyai]

Is it me or is he showing a total disrespect to the majority of his voters.

[worgeordie]

Maybe it would be better for Thailand if MP s of all ilks

got back to the land,although I don't think many of them

could do a hard days graft,

Yeah, you're dead right. Quite the condescending thing say.

House deputy speaker Visut Chainaroon announced Friday that he would quit politics

I had to look at the picture in the OP to be sure it wasn't Thaksin speaking. He doesn't look like, but he definitely sounds identical.

Well there is that phrase, If you sleep with the dog you will get's it fleas.

You forget that all DSI investigations into red and black shirts' crimes were stopped the day after the general election results were announced.

Proof of that statement or just lies? Hardly any, if any at all red shirt crimes to investigate at that point. 300 odd convicted and in jail for up to a year or so already. You're confusing them with the yellow shirts none of which have seen the inside of a jail despite having been convicted.

He talks about getting honest work rice farming with disdain. These Thais never realize how foolish and despicable they sound.

Google can help your inquisitive mind out. Secretaries name is Wasa Theprian, dead bombers name is Samai Wongsuwan. There are lots of details freely available for you to be able to draw a sensible conclusion as to a link from Wisut to the bombing campaign or just an avalanche of coincidences.

"...........when Yingluck took office.

As soon as she took over as premier, Tarit was clever enough to cut down the number of political cases in his hand from the 281 he had in 2010 during Abhisit Vejjajiva's time to 48 cases last year and to just four cases this year.

He chose to drop several cases against members of the ruling Pheu Thai Party and the red shirts. In fact, even Yingluck benefited as Tarit chose to drop her asset concealment case.

A total of 39 red shirts found themselves off the hook as Tarit decided to throw away the lese majeste charges filed against them by the Democrat-run Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation during the red-shirt riots. DSI dropped its investigations after Tarit decided that there were no solid grounds to charge these people.

Former Pheu Thai MP and core red-shirt leader Jatuporn Promphan also found himself free of the lese majeste charge for a comment he made on stage during the red-shirt protest in April 2010."

What an ill thought out and inconsiderate comparison. Had he said "I will go and work in the salt mines of the Ukraine' we kind of get his meaning. He is trying to say 'short of cutting my head off - the worst thing I could wish upon me to happen as this is soooo unlikely is...........(insert appropriate comparison here, BUT he says) that I become a Thai rice farmer!"

The very people he claims to represent are considered to occupy the worst possible position, the most demeaning position. Did the photographer get the picture as he said it with the laugh on his face?

PTP are digging holes so fast and deep at the moment they need an army of earth diggers and JCB's to carry on the job. Stand by for some back peddling later along the lines of 'What I meant was......."

They are all scum, unworthy of the positions they hold.

Thank you for your diligent posting of the facts.

Clearly DSI Director General Tarit was acting as a professional law enforcer in reaching these decisions. Would he have reached the same decisions if Yingluck and PTP had not taken office? He has probably answered this by his subsequent actions in which cases he chose to pursue and focus on.

Wonder what he will do if Thaksin dissolves the house and PTP splits up or doesn't get re-elected?

Haha! Aren't ALL politicians scum? And I say that kindly.

[01322521959]

Disgusting! Farming used to be at 80% in Thailand, far lower now. To talk in this way and be so belittlling towards what is a very much needed occupation shows quite clearly how little integrity those in power have left.

Here is your proof.

Meanwhile, Pheu Thai MP Wisut Chaiyanarun vowed to resign if a Parliament contract employee could not defend her involvement in a Bt50,000 transaction. The money was eventually received by pro-red bomber Samai Wongsuwan, who was killed in a Nonthaburi apartment explosion last week.

Sorry to correct you, but that person was a female with the name Wisut Chaiyanarun.

[cloghead]

I ain’t gonna work on Taksin's farm no more
No, I ain’t gonna work on Taksin's farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin’ me insane
It’s a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
I ain’t gonna work on Taksin's farm no more

I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more
No, I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more

Well, she hands you a nickel
She hands you a dime
She asks you with a grin
If you’re havin’ a good time
Then she fines you every time you slam the door
I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more

I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more
No, I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more

Well, he puts his cigar
Out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window
It is made out of bricks
The National Guard stands around his door
Ah, I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more

I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more
No, I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more
Well, she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law
Everybody says
She’s the brains behind bro
She’s sixty-eight, but she says she’s twenty-four
I ain’t gonna work for Taksin's sister no more

I ain’t gonna work on Taksin's farm no more
No, I ain’t gonna work on Taksin's farm no more

Well, I try my best
To be just like I am
But everybody wants me
To be just like them
They say sing while you slave and I just get bored
I ain’t gonna work on Taksin's farm no more

I think you're the one not reading it correctly. The female referred to in the article is Wasa Theprian, the secretary to the House committee whom he hired personally.

But to answer the original question, no...I don't believe either were charged with involvement. But you know Thai media...not so good on getting the full story or following up. I got a kick out of the articles that said Mr. Wisut knew the "business man" involved with the transfer and would clear it up with his party. One would think he would be offering his knowledge to clear that up with the police.
