GrantSmith Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I find it very difficult to believe that the rest of the world would accept Yingluck being held accountable if "something happens". What kind of rubbish is this? Thailand would become (even more of) an international laughing stock in the event that an elected PM is held responsible for the actions of anti-democratic street thugs. That would lead to sanctions, trade embargoes, investors fleeing the country, ASEAN intervention. It's complete rubbish. Classics case of blaming the victim. It really is audacious of the general to tell the elected leader that she would be held responsible. Think the source of the source maybe full of SAUCE himself. This exchange never happened. Hello, if it indeed did, the Army would have jumped all over it, remember he doesnt exactly like Thaksin and Yingluk.... So you're saying that Chalerm is the inside source? Brilliant...

Popular Post love1012 Posted January 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2014 Prbkk - I dont want to reply to you again but i see you are very misguided man.Thailand CANNOT move on from Thaksin he is using his wealth to STOP us from doing that. Also can you see that you are providing false fact - you are misrepresenting fact -in 2010 Red people bring guns and shoot rockets at innocent people in Silom. They post stickers on walls around Bangkok and proclaim "President Thaksin" Do you not understand that as long as this man is here there will never be any rest for anyone. My own University was having student shot three weeks ago - unarmed students - yet you need we move on from thaksin - why you think he go to Kampouchea so much to talk to Hun Sen?

GeorgeO Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 What a caring brother he is, protecting her from a gaol term. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app It's total nonsense. The constitution is not carved in stone, and she could easily be given an assurance by all parties that she would not be prosecuted if she stood down "for the good of the country". This is purely Thaksin clutching at the last vestiges of power so that the Amnesty Bill can be resurrected and he can come home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said ... many of us here are getting tired of Prbkk's totally one-sided (and ill-considered) view of the situation here. He talks about how ridiculous it is that Yingluck can be held responsible, and yet spews out venomous comments on how Abhisit and Suthep should be jailed, or even killed...! You should ignore Prbkk's comments because, as you so rightly point out, he is a very misguided individual! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokpoppys Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 ... "and talked via Skype with Thaksin, who said the Constitution did not allow her to resign"... "She would face a jail term, he warned." This is hilarious. A fugitive criminal instructing the caretaker PM not to step down. Not even Monty Python could come up with comedy like this.

pookiki Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Would it be to much to ask for The Nation to state the source of these articles?

Do not underestimate the legal system in Thailand. They often come up with paradoxes. Adding to that, the protesters and even Gen. Prayuth have stated that all negative outcomes (violence, coup, international criticism, rain, heat, moody girlfriends etc.) is caused by Thaksin and thus, his 'puppet'. By 'something happens' I believe we need to think of the reaction from the people who voted her into office. They will not be happy campers when Saviour Suthep is anointed.

Baerboxer Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 waza So that means Thaksin is manipulating his sister with unsubstantiated threats of imprisonment if she doesn't do what he says and remains in the caretaker PM position, even though it is against her will. What a great and thoughtful brother he is. The reality is Thaksin doesn't want Yingluck to resign because he will loose control of the government and that leaves them open to a uncontrolled investigation of their corrupt practices. This would obviously lead to charges for most of the PTP members and maybe prison sentences. No wonder the blanket amnesty bill is so important for this administration, Yingluck must stay in her role, win the election and push through the blanket amnesty bill then she is free to resign. Yes. Very shrewd and accurate analysis! I think you're spot on. Needs her in power on the day the amnesty bill comes back to parliament so she can push it through and any form of independent forensic audit would be a disaster for PTP. If he ever gets back here, physically in control, watch her being dumped, along with a few others who will also be past their 'sell by date". Hope he's not being learning new tricks from the NK dictator on removing unwanted family members! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry1011 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Very good advice from Thaksin. Yingluck is doing a great job as a peaceful PM against these criminal mobs. If she steps down she will be accused of neglecting her duty. And in any case, even if she steps down Suthep would "upgrade" again his irrational protests and demand that all PT ministers, MPs, families, friends and supporters, and their cats and dogs, and and and... step down too... Till Suthep and his thugs are in power and can dictate what to do to the majority. So, indeed, the country is much better with Yingluck as a PM than without!

Popular Post pkspeaker Posted January 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2014 OMG are you serious, it is not a crime for the PM to talk to her brother, it is not a crime for Thaksin to encourage his sister to resist the fascist who want to turn this country into a dictatorship, it is not a crime for her to call her brother and ask for advise, on any issue, he doesn't have any authority but he can be influential. I love they way you say the law should be 'modernized' you call that modern? It's modern to abolish freedom of speech, the PM cannot talk to her brother and all her communications should be monitored in case she commits this crime. What authority does this man have from a legal standpoint on this situation? Could this article (if taken from statements directly from her and also possibly from the brawler himself) be an admission of associating with and acting on behalf for the benefit of a known fugitive? If Thai law does not cover this kind of activity then perhaps it is time Thai law was modernised into the digital era to reflect this type of crime. This goes not only for dialogue between PTP and Thaksin but all other fugitives of the Kingdom - he is not the first and will not be the last unless the law is changed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
