Protesters in southern provinces to start shutdown on Monday

BANGKOK: -- Anti-government protesters in all southern provinces were urged by protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban to shut down all offices of the government in their respective provinces as of Monday.

People’s Democratic Reform Committee secretary-general Suthep told a huge crowd of supporters at Pathumwan protest site Saturday night that members of the PDRC in all provinces must shut down government offices on Monday starting from southern provinces first.

He said that the protesters were not enemy of the police and urged those who disagreed with the planned shutdown to just stay still and not try to block the shutdown.

The former Democrat MP on Saturday donated five million baht from his family’s account to the family of Mr Prakong Chuchan, a protester who was killed by a grenade attack at Banthanthong area on Friday. The PDRC, meanwhile, donated another one million baht to the family.

Suthep on Sunday will lead protesters from a march to Lat Phrao protest site and nearby areas to urge Bangkokians to join the protest against Thaksin regime.

Please can the protesters take some loudspeakers away to the South too?

They were blaring away until past 1 am last night.

Bearing in mind government offices everywhere must liaise with Bangkok, what is the situation with the Chaeng Wattana Government Complex, principally the Attorney general's Office. Thank you.

[harada]

Thailand the hub of shutdowns.

Yes, this is the problem with some of us.

Only concerned about our little selves and convenience, disregarding the struggle and fight for a better future for the country we live in.

tell them where you live and invite them to set up outside your place then its not BKK ill bet ... now is it ?

come to think of it why arnt you protesting in your home country with your fellow countrymen ?

[pipkins]

This is really going to hurt Yingluks support in the North East.

What is is showing is the PDRC cannot keep their Southern Supporters in BKK for many reasons. Money and lack of interest so they have come up with a work from home scheme basically.

Let them control the south. Then the rest of the country can see how despotic they are. Will also sort out the small boys from the very small boys then the Students are sent to Pattani to enfoce Sutheps law there.

Meanwhile to prove me right, Suthep is on a series of marches designed mainly to collect money for his failing putch. Support? Kidding me. He thinks there is more support to be garnered in Paholyothin after this being on the news for 80 days now? It's the money.

Yestedays sickening speach was also all about money and bleating that nobody believes him about the suspect bomb.

The donations yesterday are now PDRC money and only to go to the family if the doner specically reqested it. Look like they were just stuffing it into bags again... So... it's Sutheps money.

Do you have children who can't get to sleep and have school in the mornings? For 6 days and counting? What would you tell them?

Do you have any young children?

Are you, Mr Costas, even within earshot of a protest site?

The main speeches are over by 9 pm ... it's just country music and entertainment until 1 am. Nothing to do with furthering the cause, just amusement. Nothing different to your neighbours holding a party next doors.

The protesters can do what they want until 9 pm, then they can let folks get some rest.

My thoughts would be the same if it were the Reds near me - nothing to do with politics.

Why do people like you link a comment about noise pollution back to politics?

Living close to a protest site, I bet I have been to more rallies (day time and evenings) than you, Mr Costas, and spent more money buying from their small vendors than you, Mr Costas.

What have you, Mr Costas, done for the "struggle and fight"? Name a few of your sacrifices. Name a few of your efforts (and posting disparaging messages in forums do not count).

You would be posting differently if the violence and noise was in close proximity to you. One can afford to be magnanimous when one isn't the one suffering.

You have omitted some key details from your post. I think it should read:

Only concerned about our little selves and convenience, disregarding the struggle of the old bunch of crooks over the new bunch of crooks and fight for a better future for them in the country we live in.

There. That's better. Now, presumably, you can continue to make sacrifices for those who don't give a rat's arse what you say, what you do or whether you even live here at all.

tx22cb - why are you picking on mr costas? are you a <deleted> …?

I am not picking on Mr Costas. It is self-defence.

Please read my previous post, then it'll be clear.

But in summary, I complained about the noise, and Mr Costas wrote

"Yes, this is the problem with some of us.

As the role of the police has now taken on a very stark turn towards a distinctly totalitarian tone, this administration has indeed become truly dangerous. The police should have the key role in protecting the people and protecting the truth, but they are zealously dedicated to neither. That is a very, very dangerous situation. Because there is truly nothing now that separates the people from vigilante attacks and mini-armies, particularly when the administration is doing all they can to suggest that they do not exist. And that's anarchy. Anarchy is when an administration abdicates its responsibility to protect the lives of their own people. This administration - by their actions and by their inactions - have betrayed that trust, and are not invested in the protection of the people - or their right to protest - or their right to criticize this administration. Each day we are seeing atrocities enacted against the Thai people. Peaceful civil disobedience is the only option they have left to be heard. They must also now believe, unfortunately, that their voices can overtake the sound of a grenade, and overtake the actions of wanton, unspeakable cruelty.

The arrogance of this man is beyond belief! Everybody just roll over and let sutheps sheeple trample all over them. Makes you want to some sense into him.

But at least the money was given freely, to a cause the doners actively support - Suthep!

Unlike the literally billions of baht of hard earned taxpayers money wasted on half arsed policies as exemplified by the last two years of mis-administration by the government. They have even failed their core voters the farmers who have been waiting 6 months nearly or their owed money.

"He said that the protesters were not enemy of the police and urged those who disagreed with the planned shutdown to just stay still and not try to block the shutdown."

Maybe when there is a planned shutdown of his factories, plantations etc by whoever's group, same same can be urged "those who disagreed with the planned shutdown to just stay still and not try to block the shutdown."

You want people to stay still with your continuous threats and intimidation???

You/Me/Us don't "Live" here. We only "exist" here. And your buddy Suthep is the head of the people who DON'T want us here. He hates farangs.

Not that you know much or care about it, but as the Gov is in Cartaker mode they cannot pay. and the overseeing courts are refusing to let them pay.

Not the same thing, but if you want us to believe you can't see this anyoway other than this old chestnut.... thats ok.

The money flow increased because of the rhetoric, but the PDRC only gave 1 million of it back!! caring sharing.

I for one won't comment anymore one that sad fact as the grieving family should not be caught up in this. The lady obviously was in shock and bweilderment as well she might be and to drag her around BKK an on stage was just one more desperate disgusting ploy to add the the PDRC long long list of crimes and self serving actions.

Looking less likely there will be a coup. And its' looking impossible that if there was a coup that they could function at all or work with anybody. NObody will wear it this time. Everything is too transparent and Sutheps and the Cowards that back him are 30 years out of date with their tactics.

[bigbamboo]

I remember when the Boss asked his supporters to meet him for his big rally at the Burmese border but only a handful showed up. As you say, these things happen in politics.

Not that you care, or would admit, but this government of white liars could not pay the farmers before the shutdown. Your feeble attempt to defend them is laughable.

[Thailand]

Failing in Bangkok and now wants to upset he southerners by disrupting their lives also!

When his brain really melts he be telling those in the north to shutdown everything as well. He really has become a very dangerous laughing stock.

A few weeks ago he had some credibility, sadly now he blows that away every time he opens his mouth.
