PM dismisses coup plot with army
By Digital Content



BANGKOK, Jan 8 - Caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra yesterday dismissed a report that she has asked the army to carry out a coup d'etat to end the political crisis.

Ms Yingluck said the reports were just rumours, adding that a coup cannot solve Thailand's political deadlock.

She expressed hope that the commanders of armed forces will believe in solving the problem for the long term rather than opting to use the method which is not acceptable in the world community.

Ms Yingluck said she believes, as seen, the commanders will follow HM King Bhumibol's speech which advised Thais to perform their duty and live together peacefully.

The premier's remarks followed rumours that she asked the military to conduct a coup in order to reset the country's system within a one-year timeframe.

Regarding the planned "Bangkok Shutdown" by the anti-government People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), the caretaker premier said she has instructed all ministries to discuss with security agencies to prepare for the disruption on January 13.

She said her government will remain patient and any security operations to oversee the demonstrations will be carried out without force of arms. She urged all parties to avoid confrontation, adding that a combined security personnel of police and the three armed forces will be deployed to protect state premises.

She noted that seeking additional personnelcfom the army is being considered by the director of the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO).

Deputy caretaker government spokesperson Sunisa Lertpakawat said that in today's cabinet meeting Ms Yingluck assigned caretaker deputy defence minister Gen Yutthasak Sasiprapa to coordinate with all agencies seeking security protection.

Ms Sunisa said the caretaker premier also instructed related agencies to help the public as she worries that transportation will be affected during the mass demonstrations.

She added that caretaker Labour Minister Chalerm Yubamrung and caretaker Justice Minister Chaikasem Nitisiri have been assigned to oversee law enforcement. (MCOT online news)

As they say the devil will swear the truth look you straight in the eyes and lie ....here is a perfect example, just like the rest of her parasitic family

"follow HM King Bhumibol's speech which advised Thais to perform their duty and live together peacefully".

Now would that be the most decent and respectful thing Suthep? Tell your little temper tantrum throwing thugs to go home and live in peace as you have been asked to do.

Show some respect

"She added that caretaker Labour Minister Chalerm Yubamrung and caretaker Justice Minister Chaikasem Nitisiri have been assigned to oversee law enforcement."

And probably doesn't see the hypocrisy in that statement.

"follow HM King Bhumibol's speech which advised Thais to perform their duty and live together peacefully".

Yes because this article is about Suthep... Blah blah blah...

"She urged all parties to avoid confrontation"...

Then leave.

And please don't use the speech of the King. Doesn't sound right for a shinaclan member.

"She added that caretaker Labour Minister Chalerm Yubamrung and caretaker Justice Minister Chaikasem Nitisiri have been assigned to oversee law enforcement."

And probably doesn't see the hypocrisy in that statement.

Or the danger inherent in putting Chalerm in charge of the cops, many of whom are as unstable as the great man himself. Hopefully, he won't have had too many sherbets the night before and is on the correct dose of Diazepam that day.......

Now we know why the army chief came out so strongly with his warning to Yingluck.

It was a public message to T S 'no we are not going to do it'

"follow HM King Bhumibol's speech which advised Thais to perform their duty and live together peacefully".

It's not about Suthep??? hello are we awake here, or we knocked out on Tramadol.... The story thus far, succinctly you only have really the people of good old Krungthep that are marching up and down and their central and southern relatives that are stomping their feet. Have you thought of the rest of the nation? The virtual backbone? Obviously not, have you thought of what damage Suthep is going to cause and has caused thus far from a fiscal point of view and even in terms of lives? I think not. In fact, dont think there is much thinking happening on this post at all.... Maybe some one should go back to sleep, and yes it would be good for all involved to follow his HRM's advice. Well said chooka.

Suthep and his followers do not have respect, how can they show some....

I imagine the military are being made some very generous offers by prospective suitors.

"BANGKOK, Jan 8 - Caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra yesterday dismissed a report that she has asked the army to carry out a coup d'etat to end the political crisis."

Why would she do this, to gain public support? To divert the financial collapse from the rice scam away from PTP? How strange.

Care to point out anywhere in the article Suthep's name is mentioned?

PDRC which was established by Suthep and he is the leader.

Government = Thaksin

PDRC = Suthep

They are the spokes in the wheels we all know who are driving both these groups no need to mention them by name.

Perhaps you can remind us of what the PTP government did just a few hours after the speech by threatening and intimidating the protesters.

Why not delete the word cricket. some of you are that obsessed by the action of opposition to Yinglucks government, when rarely do you posters comment on the rice money disappearing , as though it's ok. Her government ignoring the courts decision, Near the worlds highest corrupt nation and its ok. To some of you Thailand has to tolerate this situation and wait for PM 4 years term to end if not it's undemocratic ????? get real, if it was your family member stealing from your wallet you would lash out----this is what these BKK protesters are doing.

We need an emoticon for toys out of pram. Really, some posters!

Anyway, back on topic, YL has added some distance between herself and responsibility by delegating yet again.

Until now the honey is still with PTP but if S will be successful where will it go, most probably to his bosses whose are waiting to get it back.

There IS NO HONEY LEFT, it's gone, that's why we have these problems===== Rice-Thai Airways-Railways-roads-Schools -hospitals-mental care-elderly.

There is no money for anyone to take over here, whoever will have to control will have 4 years to pay off money owed---and more before they can start on infrastructure.--------------institutions like TAT at 6 billion budget ?? per year and scores of others --and the trough-- reality-WAKE UP people.

Well, as K. Poo is minister of defence, I suppose she would know what is going on!

We know the treasury is empty but it takes away the gold visa card too.

I always wonder why the present government or the future one will not engage TV as the major consultant. With the bundled know how inside knowledge it must be an asset to everybody.

You have no clue about Thailand. This issue has been on going for decades. Thailand will not die the day after Monday. Other than a few areas of Bangkok for most of the country it will be business as usual (as unfortunate as that may be). Schools will open, banks will open, people will go about their business as usual....much like yourself sitting in some girlie bar discussing how you can fix Thailand after 10 beers.

The ARTICLE never mentions the name Suthep....other articles do...practice your writing skills on those. After another beer or two....
