PM Yingluck dismisses coup plot with army

[smedly]

quote - 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.

Isn't that what the protestors want

[bigbamboo]

"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 irony!

[MK1]

According to the latest reports, the real issue Yingluck would perhaps prefer you to focus on is that Panda-Lin Hui at Chiang Mai Zoo appears to be anxious! Therefore, doubts surround, if test prove positive, that one embryo will produce one cub.

However, better luck is considered if tests prove positive to two-embryos, based on overseas cases, which is a positive indication of at least one-cub.

Based on this Zoologist encryption and interpretation; tests that prove one embryo = Coup. Tests that indicate two embryo = No Coup.

Keep watching the Panda; only the Panda knows the likely outcome.

Not sure I understand, why would Yingluck ask the military to remove her from power?

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

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

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.

Speaking 'fiscally', any losses that have been incurred through the protests is small compared to what Thaksin and the gang have stolen over the last 15 years and is also small compared to the hundreds of billions they stand to pocket from the 2.2 trillion baht loan if it goes through not to mention what the PT idiots have lost through stupid populist policies and complete ignorance of fiscal responsibility. The country is already broke ( ie all the tax money has been pissed away and / or stolen ). Debt will soon follow and the further that goes, the harder things get. This is the crux of the matter. If Shin Jong Un remains in power then they win and everyone else loses. If they are banished then there is a small chance a better situation will arise and the country just might have a better future.

I think if there is going to be a coup they want to be on the right side of it - it's our coup we called it we are in control - right ?

At which point she will be wondering why she is all alone at Government House as they all take a long vacation

Every article is about your Suthep, there would not be such an article without that scum, so keep your Blah Blah Blah maybe for after Monday, The day Thailand dies......

Didn't realise Suthep was a cross dresser and his drag name is Yingluck Shinawatra... Crafty old fox isn't he...

Sure is, but more like a Jackal and Hide wouldn't you say?

Well.. That could be true if the article was actually mentioning Khun Suthep but I still can't find any mention of him specifically in the article

The army doesn't need to "coup" YL. Suthep is already taking care of that while they sit back sipping martinis in houses of ill repute.

Suthep intends not only to "coup" YL but grasp ahold of her "assets".

LOS is in the limbo of purgatory.

[Anon999]

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

Maybe the army turned her down?

[Scamper]

Astonishingly, the election was not mentioned once in Yingluck's address. Not even once. It is not accidental. The election is no longer what is on the administration's mind. It is sheer survival. Reading between the lines, the army is actually being warned about getting in. The administration knows all too well how the army feels, and are genuinely concerned about that. The long term has essentially been replaced with a day to day survival mode. The contrast is stark.

Well cricket nut I would think Suthep has done the Thai people a service by taking the honey pot away from the PTP. Now lets try to stay on topic

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.

Didn't the PTP transfer 100s of billions of debt to the BOT so they could borrow more money. Now having divided that up are looking for another 2.2 trillion baht to insure comfort in their old age.Where does Thailand fit into their financial plans.

The rest of the nation has proved to be a bunch of flops. Now they can't even get paid for their rice. I think you are going to find out the rest of the nation is a bigger minority than the 48% they were in the last election.

It was 1.2 trillion I think Hellodolly, debt from the 1997 crash, it was transferred to the BOT. If you add this debt and the BAAC debt then you have 2 trillion baht debt maybe more. This will take 50 years to pay off.......

If that is so and I do not doubt. Suthep allow elections to go ahead, let the people vote and do not take that right away from them. Show that you are for Democracy. DO NOT stifle the peoples rights and let them have a say.

The country is clearly cast in the role of 'Cash Cow', or should that be 'Cash Kwai', instead ?

If Thailand is ever to be democratically labeled they must take the good with the bad leting the majority rule and vote out the bad so the other bad can come in and then they can vote out the bad again so the other bad can come in just like in the messed up U.S.A..

Fair enough can't argue with the Irish leprechauns because they are fantasy and myths anyway. I actually agreed with you little green man and said let there be elections. Maybe I do not understand Irish.

spot on.

[Ulysses G.]

Every Thai that I know thinks that there will probably be a coup, but the military will be backing the Bangkok elite, not the present government.

[EyesWideOpen]

Wow, interesting move on Thakin's part. Could be a world first, with a government asking for a coup... :-)

God I love this place !!! But it actually makes a sort of twisted sense. If Suthep takes over, the

Thaksin clan will be cleaned out once and for all. And a bonus will be the rice scam being investigated

for what it really was.

If the military takes over, in essence there will be a reset. They will fumble

around as they always have trying to run the country. In a best case scenario there would be no

investigation of corruption, and sleeping corruption dogs would be left lying. A year goes by,

elections are held, a new Thaksin clones runs for office, wins the election

with vote buying, and a new corruption cycles starts again. How sad for the Thai people........

[moonao]

Unlikely.

Civil war is on the line and the majority of the people are on the side of the government... not the "elites".

I doubt the military are stupid enough to roll the dice on this. They tried once before in 2006 and were put in their place.

[Old Man River]

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

The Army is not for sale.

What I don't understand is why the former head of Thailand and current acting head, with all expectations if there is an election could be, if selected, again be the head of Thailand would ever have to publicly deny being part of a coup. A coup to do what?

You might want to ask your self why so many articles about Suthep.

Maybe he is trying to get rid of corruption in Thailand.

Doesn't he have some corruption issues himself?
