Suthep blasts Chalerm for naming Red Bull founder a PDRC’s financier



BANGKOK: -- Anti-government protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban last night strongly blasted the Center for the Maintaining of Peace and Order (CMPO) over its naming of the Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhya among 22 major financial supporters of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC).

The PDRC secretary-general Suthep said Mr Chaleo died on 17 March 2012 at the age of 89.

So how could he financially supported the PDRC, Suthep asked the CMPO director Chalerm Yoobamrung.

Chaleo was revealed in the list of the first group of 22 major financiers of the PDRC in waging several month long protest against the government.

Suthep said such issuance of warrants by Chalerm was random and tantamount to merely bully businesses which operate legally in the country.

It also showed the mentality of the issuer, he said.

He also said none of these major business named by the CMPO has neither directly nor indirectly supported the PDRC.

But he sarcastically thanked the CMPO head that such issuance would merely add more friends to the PDRC in naming them as financial supporter.

Among the major corporations that are summoned for questioning for their cash donations to the PRDC are those involving in soft drink, energy drink, department stores, hotel, consumer products, media, commercial bank, insurance firms and automobile industry.

Executives of Dusit Thani hotel were summoned to clarify the Department of Special Investigation for giving the PDRC to use its facilities and stay overnight.

Are they that stupid.. really.. to name someone who died way before this movement started. That is sheer incompetence and really makes you wonder about all the other names on the list too.

Not that one should expect more from an alcoholic.. but one would expect that the guy is helped by some competent people.

[Snig27]

Yawn - once you get past the rants here, he ain't got a lot of support left. The "shutdown sites" are empty apart from a few old folks in the evening and market hawkers after a quick baht from tourists during the day. His marches are down to a few hundred hardcore, protected by heavies, and the "crowds" on the routes are generously best described as sparse. I've seen him twice in the past week and he passes in 10-15 minutes. It used to take an hour or more.

[EricBerg]

Mean dog Chalerm at his best. Someone that died before the protests started is fingered as a financier for the protests.

Lock him up.

[JoeThePoster]

I take it there's no Red Bull in the Vodka at CMPO.

Has CMPO, left anybody out?

The source for you misguidded knee jerk is a Suthep on Bluesky rant!!!

You think that is the final word and the absolute truth you heard from him and that no more needs to be said.

Chalerm held back from naming them so it's Suthep himself that outed here.

There will be much quaking from the backers, espescially the ones with many branches that may fall out Sutheps Militia Guards sphere of influence.

bla bla bla bla bla bla.. your tiresome. This is just an other illustration of how competent the government is.

The source is not blue sky. So i guess they did the fact checking.

[ETatBKK]

anything can go wrong - it will go wrong. BUT, it is not that easy to make this name wrong.

further, it seems to be a secret list from someone, and no one else proof read it before the release.

[uty6543]

I have no time for the red bull family who have shielded one of their own for his crimes but equally I have no respect for out right liars, thieves, hypocrites and alcoholics. To defame a dead person is disgraceful beyond words.

Among the major corporations that are summoned for questioning for their cash donations to the PRDC are those involving in soft drink, energy drink, department stores, hotel, consumer products, media, commercial bank, insurance firms and automobile industry.

By virtue of those companies and individuals named and summoned for an inquisition informal questioning session it would appear that there is indeed a very large body of opinion that can see exactly what the Shinwatra clan master plan is, hence the aforementioned bodies and individuals support if proven of course of the P.R.D.C.

As an aside will the esteemed mighty gums Chalerm be requesting mass arrests of the donors we see every day handing over money to the P.R.D.C. ?

Come come mighty gums Chalerm, do your job properly please.

[phutoie2]

The list is already in circulation (leaked). Some individuals spitting feathers. The lawyers will be busy. The only surprise for me is both big brewing companies named.

[thairookie]

Bangkok Post has named a list of companies, accordingly leaked to the media.

I'm surprised that a few of the top departmental stores in Rajaprasong would want to do that. Aren't they shooting their own foot ? Paying the protestors to stage a protest site at your doorstep and frighten away tourists and Thai shoppers ?

[Dogmatix]

Chalerm has already shaken him down to make the charges against his cop killer son go away. So now he is going back to the well.

You'd would have thought he would feel empathy with this guy, given the loving father/ cop killer son parallel.

[Prbkk]

oh, they buried him with the 7,000,000,000 USD?

[WitawatWatawit]

The other paper says it is Chalerm Yoovidhya, father of the absent Ferrari driver and head of the Red Bull empire, not Chaleo.

This has been a belief of mine for over a month now.

Government leave them there to kill their own business off. If the Government clear them out too quickly and they have their finances intact, they regroup and come back.

I think they want them out there as long as possible. They damage themselves much more this way and don't get the sympathy from the Army as they are not getting tear gassed and bussed off to prison. Yet.

I wonder why very large companies, who obvious have great knowledge and experience about financial matters, are all against this government .

Don't

You'll spoil the rant of the day for many people who want to help out Suthep.

Rest assured, people will vote with their wallets over this!! They did enough with Singha to get the airhead to change her name.

Do / did Farmers and Red shirts drink Singha??

It's more expensive than CHEERS or ARCHER... but of course with ALL the money they have since Thaksin took over.... no problem!

So you suggest that 132 LARGE companies, with a lot of knowledge in how to handle a business, and a several million people of all walks that support Suthep are all dumbers ?

You must have a lot of self esteem .

With a few exceptions these are very tightly held and controlled companies...not listed companies as we understand the term in the west

Oh, heard from your master? Pay check arrive?

Trying to impress the country bumpkin Mrs. for a little something special tonight.No other apparent reason for an ex pat to rant and rave making up silly stories and looking like a clown.

I believe Pipkins more than those other clowns, they have nothing factual to respond with. only foolishness, like those with an IQ of a shoe size.

Great time for people to stop buying red bull, dose not matter if the owner died (RIP) donations made in the name of Red Bull, still is something people should consider when buying those products, i plan to refrain from buying any Red Bull products, because that is my own personal choice!

Cheers

As the Orwell/Chalerm purge of the companies that prop up the financial underpinnings of this country are " called in for questioning " for being suspected of supporting a protest that the Constitutional Court itself has deemed constitutional - Chalerm is now adding a person who passed away over a year and a half before the PDRC ever came into being, to add to his list of conspirators. But if truth be told, Thaksin arguably founded the PDRC himself through the unwitting release of the " revised " amnesty bill. So the logical thing would be to haul him in for questioning. Chalerm's very state of mind is now under open speculation. He has summoned the executives from five luxury hotels to " explain themselves " to him. His methods now resemble Stalin's more than anyone else.

[mightyatom]

Yawn - once you get past the rants here, he ain't got a lot of support left. The "shutdown sites" are empty apart from a few old folks in the evening and market hawkers after a quick baht from tourists during the day. His marches are down to a few hundred hardcore, protected by heavies, and the "crowds" on the routes are generously best described as sparse. I've seen him twice in the past week and he passes in 10-15 minutes. It used to take an hour or more.

Down to a few hundred?

There are over 1000 at the Chang Wattana site alone, and that does not include all the other sites plus Lumpini park.

Why is it that you red Thaksin supporters have to constantly come on the forum to post lies?

You do know it is against forum rules to tell lies?

Shutdown BKK is not a mass rally, it is a shutdown and has worked 100% up to now.

Can you please explain the crowds when he does a march and in a lot of places the crowds are 10 people thick either side of the road throwing money at him and this can be for 10 KM.

You may try to fool yourself, but that should not be too hard. But you won't fool the TVF members, they are a lot sharper than you and Pipkins.

I'm suggeting what most people have been suggesting for years.

There is an elite clique that help each other in any way possible to grab the power back from the voters in anyway they can.

and 7 million people in all walks of life is about half of what PT picked up in votes last election (the one that wasn't blockaded by fascists).

Quite where you plucked the 7 mill from is beyond me, but I'll let it go as it demonstrates your lack of knowledge of democracy and what constituts a preiviliged self serving clique.
