PM Yingluck Shinawatra says her family wants peace, not power

[kingalfred]

She and her policies have done more to hurt the country than any protest could ever do

[rogerdee123]

If she only wants Peace and not Power, she has made a lot of bad choices. She is the PM and puppet for her brother because she only wants Peace? !!!

A peace of the pudding....

With all the crap she's brought on herself due to the machinations of her brother you'd think at some point Yingluck would say " I know blood is thicker than water bit screw this for a game of soldiers. You're own your own bro. I can't take anymore". It's a bit like having a crackhead cousin who's stolen your TV for the third time. In the end you'd have to say enough and kick their ass to the curb.

Yes, blood is thicker than water, but milk is thicker than blood. When Thai people (PTP politicians included) understand that Thaksin's milk is corruptly like the rotten rice the Government

wants to sell, we can have development.

[Chicog]

The stench of desperation to cling to power is overwhelming, Yingluck is learning that her brother isn't the messiah he's just a very naughty boy.

Well she's finally called it a day from "clinging to power".

And when they have another inclusive national election, she'll be straight back in, probably with a bigger majority.

I don't know how that foot-stamping, dummy-spitting bunch of comedians have the audacity to call themselves "Democrats".

Everyone knows that if by any remote possibility they get into power, their own snouts will be straight in the trough.

I feel sorry for the Thai people, I really do.

[winstonc]

ofcourse she wants peace...peace of the loan/rice scam water scheme/and whatever elsea i can get my grubby little pinkies on...

If Thaksin was out of the picture, Thailand would be much better off.

[orchidlady]

Maybe what she says is true, partially...they may really want peace not power but she left out the part about what all of their efforts have been for is for getting more money for the family and their friends. Now if she said they don't want money--nah never believe it.

Yingluck will never get back in, she is the figure head of this administrations corrupt and unconstitutional actions, PTP will need fresh faces and a fresh start to get beyond the dirty deeds of Thaksin and regain some popularity. I predict a hung parliament if she runs as leader of a party with the three stooges, Chalerm, Plodprasop Suraswadi and Kittiratt Na-Ranong again.

Her nose must be very large by now !

They only want PIECE in Asia and that PIECE is Thailand. Why? The country officially has something like a 44% GDP debt burden... so another bit more in power and they can increase that to 100% debt and they can all go live happily ever after anywhere else.

Until then they need PEACE to be able to get a PIECE

PM Yingluck says her family wants peace, not power

Yet she is hanging onto power!

Resign from the caretaker government and leave politics. Otherwise your words have no meaning!

[AryanicAristocrat]

Lol! What a joke.....just look, even the foreign minister cum head of CAPO is thaksin's cousin! Oh Pleeze all the shinawatras and their supporters should leave for Dubai while all their assets and companies here should be burnt.

Also, the protesters shoudl focus on the UAE and UAE companies in Thailand and boycott them. For example, the fashion brand XXI Forever or Forever 21 outlets in Thailand are owned by a Dubai based company called sharaff group while Zara, ted Baker, pullman and bear, bershaka outlets here are owned by a Dubai company called Gaggan. Boycott all these outklets and brands.

[rubl]

I guess this 'amply rich' family just wants a wee bit more money and the opportunity to spent some of it while shopping.

[HiSoLowSoNoSo]

Tomorrow she may say:

Shinawatra says her family wants the peace price.

[icare999]

and and sorry can't stop

phew just managed to stop laughing Taksin wants peace after what he did in 2010

gets better every timed she opens her mouth must go before i have a laughing fit

[Johnnie99]

You are all so unkind. How can you not believe this worthy, independently minded woman? I certainly have no doubts at all that she firmly and fully believes that we should believe what she says.

[siampolee]

We can plainly see by the statement that in reality it wasn't ever about Thailand and its peoples welfare. It was and is about one creature and his family and their brown nosing acolytes insatiable lust for the ultimate power slot and revenge not Thailand nor Thai peoples welfare.

Ode to my brother from sister Yingluck

Beneath the Dubai palm tree's my brother crawls alone.

He crawls whilst groping for his way.

Eyes filled with tears and the tender pain of loss.

Trying to find the way again.

To sit upon a familiar seat.

Where once he held hands with me.

The tears of lost desires flow down his cheeks

Beneath the desert palm he waits alone.

A weakened creature with an enfeebled ego.

The sun that so brightly shone in his minds is now clouded

Now in the darkest hour and gone for evermore

[Ricardo]

If the Shinawatra family, including caretaker-PM Yingluck herself, no longer want political-power, does that mean that none of them will be standing in the February-election ?

[mikemac]

"Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has said the “Shinawatra” family only wants peace, not power. ".................................

Crap !

The only "peace" this evil lot wants is a "peace" of the action, front row of the trough !

[Misterwhisper]

Well, Miss Caretaker Prime Minister, now let action follow your words and also announce that you are going to step down from the caretaker position and that you will not be available for the prime minister post in case your party wins the next election.

Oh, and please don't forget to also assure the public that no other person bearing a surname like Shinawatra, Damapong, Wongsawat, Na Pombejra, Tovichakchaikul, etc. etc. will ever, ever, ever again play any active role in Thai politics or hold any high government office - nor will their nominees or associates, including maids, gardeners, chauffeurs, pool boys, cooks, origami teachers, piano tutors, and so on.

And while we're at it, please send your big brother in Dubai a gag (available online at sado-masochist stores) as a Christmas present; actually better two, just in case one of them wears out too fast.

That is the price your family will have to pay for wanting "only peace and not power".

[Mackie]

If the head of the Shinawatra clan wanted peace, then it would be peace, wouldn't it? Maybe she stopped counting Thaksin as a member of her family.

[virtualtraveller]

I find it hilarious when she comes out with such statements while just days earlier Thaksin orders his cousin Surapong to take over CAPO and go on the offensive with super loyal policemen set on protest leaders like a pack of dogs, seeking arrest warrants. The fingerprints of Thaksin all over that move eh?

[Halion]

The only peace the Shiniwatra clan is interested in is a very large piece of the national pie.

A very greedy unscrupulous and stupid woman indeed and just fruit from the poisoned tree.

[TomTao]

Ok, now I've picked myself up and dried my eyes from laughing so hard, I can read it again, eveyone knows that all big brother wants is power and money, but at what cost to his family and the country?

[A1Str8]

Oh yeah the Shinawatra family has never been concerned about power.

[drdoom6996]

Yeah, right, and Obama wants Health for the masses, not power. It's all about power, the Shin clan already has enough money to buy anything they want. If not power, why;

did they get Taksin a new passport.

does at least one cabinet member a month happens to be in the same country as Taksin, but he/she did not see Taksin,

money for projects always goes north for a company there,

Just sayin'!

[GAZZPA]

Why does she quote her family views at all? if she wants people to truly believe her when she says her brother is not involved she should not make silly comments like this. She should simply state that she was elected, she is running the country and that her family views are irrelevant when it comes to meeting the needs of the majority.

Stupid thing to say.

[robertson468]

This is possibly one of the most outrageous comments the Lady has made, no doubt fired up by the "Man in Dubai" whose megalomania totally blinds him to the reality of life and the opinion that rational people have of him and his rediculous and obvious manipulations. Still, gave me a good laugh!
