Lite Beer Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 PM Yingluck charges opposition with unfair censureBy English News BANGKOK, Nov 26 – Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra today deplored what she called the opposition’s unfair allegations against her administration, an administration which has protected democracy and fought against corruption.In her opening speech at a no-confidence debate against her government, Ms Yingluck described the accusations against her, especially corruption, as “harsh and unjust.”She said her government had encountered an economic crisis from the US and Europe since the start and it has adopted various measures to relieve the economic pressure which has hit every country in the region.The government has solved the economic problem, leading to a surge of gross domestic product to 6 per cent and higher exports, she said.She said the government has made it a policy to crack down on corruption and set up anti-corruption units in ministries as well as a counter-corruption operations centre to check public sector operations while the private sector network also participated in examining the government.Ms Yingluck said the confiscated assets, ordered by the court, have been transferred to the state while the amnesty bill included no article on the return of seized assets.The government and the Senate are not pushing for the amnesty bill, she said.Opposition Democrat leader Abhisit Vejjajiva charged the government with cheating for its own interest and distorting the objectives of the democratic system which requires checks and balances.“The prime minister is the core person who leads the country into the current quagmire and intensifies the corruption problem, resulting in the government’s credibility crisis,” he said.“The government, under the prime minister, has destroyed the rule of law and anti-corruption mechanisms. It has issued laws in favour of increasing corruption in the country,” he said.(MCOT online news) -- TNA 2013-11-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TVGerry Posted November 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2013 Ummm your government is the epoch of corruption. You didn't fight corruption, you and your cronies made more money. And this government isn't about democracy, it's about using it's majority to benefit a few, if not just one person. In other words, FAIL!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crushdepth Posted November 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2013 She's incompetent. Never has an explanation for anything, never has a substantive argument for anything and protests her ignorance of every problem and procedural irregularity assailing her government. Fighting corruption while issuing passports to her criminal fugitive and counsellor / controller brother. Excellent work! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lecturers and your fellow students at the prestigious schools you attended would be appalled at your disgusting behavior. Tomorrow you must apologise profusely to the lady and never ever treat her in this way again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRSoul Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 While rebutting corruption accusations, the PM claims that her government is longer pushing for the amnesty bill. Is it enough to stop one example of corruption when it fails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they not cut the budget for the anti corruption commission? Along with other checks and balances organisations. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or she believes if she spouts enough BS people actually believe her. Again showing an incredible amount of ignorance. Unknown for sure. Over time have moved to the side of her really being that silly. Thansin would certainly be willing to throw her under the bus if that is what it takes to get back into Thailand without being arrested and she cannot see it. Not only does that make her silly, it also makes her very dangerous. Edited November 26, 2013 by notmyself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ricardo Posted November 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2013 "the government has solved the economic problem" Inheriting GDP-growth of about 5%, it's now 1%, and there's a technical-recession. A government-backed-bank (BAAC) is reported to have stopped (hopefully only temporarily) paying-out to depositors. Costs of basic living-essentials are soaring. The losses on her brother's key rice-purchase scheme are unknown, but clearly enormous, and the rice is rotting in the overstuffed-warehouses. Corporate-tax was cut, top-rate income-tax is due to be cut, and the government has to borrow in-their-entirety the cost of the infrastructure-plan & the flood-plan. But everything is wonderful ? Madame Prime Minister, please stop embarrassing yourself, and call an election now ! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post slapout Posted November 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yes those internal watchdog agiencies have really accomplished a great service for the country. and the rice program, from the 10s of millions spent for management (who furnished the management team?) of this government program, to Chalerm and his police cronies on guard duty at the storage/milling facilities (additional budget), to the commerce ministry inspection of storage facilities when the count of same was off by 30+_%, then add the rice imported across the eastern border, the 15% grain loss allowed for transport (mill to storage), the losses documented of theft, fires. and spoilage, etc. How many baht have been recovered by the watchdog groups that are carrying the Prime Minister's tourch in her fight against corruption, just in this program? Then use the same method to find the huge amounts unaccounted from from the Village funds, water/flood mangement, tablet fisco, flood relief, etc. Corruption by Thai law can result in return of funds and asset sizure of all parties involved. How much have your anti corruption groups brought back to the government coffers, just from the mentioned programs? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yingluck responds against “stupidity” allegationPrime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra defended herself against the Opposition’s allegation that she is stupid during the censure debate in the Parliament Tuesday. Democrat MP Nipit Intharasombat was quoted as saying “besides not being knowledgeable, there has been no development. In the past, (she) made mistakes in speaking, reading from a prepared text, I have never criticized her because not everyone is smart. But (she) has never learned, no development at all.”The prime minister responded as follows: “..the allegation that I am not independent, lack of intelligence and taking orders (from someone) via remote control. For the past two years in the office, (I) have encountered several crises and have survived them all. That some MPs accuse me of being stupid, as for this issue, it is difficult to explain or if I explain, no one will believe me because they are not the people who have worked with me.

Jingthing Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) This might come off as a sexist question, but I'm curious. I get the feeling that she might be playing the "don't bash the pretty lady" card. Is that something an unqualified female leader in Thailand could benefit from and do you also think she is doing that? The "unfair" complaint sounds really weak and doesn't seem like something a male politician would usually say. It kind of reminds me of the kind of thing USA silly failed politician Sarah Palin would say. I am differentiating lady politicos who are actually qualified vs. those who got in from "other" ways.

ratcatcher Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Well well well... It seems that all the TVF Thaksinistas are very quiet on this thread. What happened?... Did she open her big stupid mouth again and undermine your worthless cause?? Long may she reign.... while she is your idol, the protesters are gathering great fuel for their argument.

PeterSmiles Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The "unfair" complaint point sounds really weak and doesn't seem like something a male politician would usually say. I think anyone over the age of 10 wouldn't use the unfair complaint. It is just more evidence that she doesn't know how to defend herself. I think, there will be blood.
