MaiChai Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 At your next cabinet meeting YL look around the table and see those appointed by the real PM as a reward for loyalty and setting Bkk on fire. They were at the red shirt meeting in Korat on Saturday and will you have the nuts to ask what they know about the violence ? She probably hasn't a clue what her government gets up to. Also i do believe she has nothing to do with the rice scheme. That doesn't mean she can be PM and not be responsible for anything. She is PM and the buck stops with her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 “It is not the way of life of Thais who are naturally considerate and empthatic to fellow citizens, rather than resort to senseless killings.” Does that mean the guy who initiated the notorious “war on drugs” and his guard dog who declared “war on protesters” are native Montenegrin and Danish?

Fat Haggis Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Facebook? What percentage of the Thai population look at Yingluk's facebook page each day, or any day for that matter? Is television address out of fashion? Don't underestimate the power of Social Media, take a look at the PDRC mouthpiece Michael Yon's FB page, he has a cult following. Just because you don't look at someones FB page, don't make an assumtion that Thai's are not looking at all the players FB pages these days I think some people are missing the point that she mat well have posted her condemnation of the attacks on her FB page, but the fact is that the Nation is also a media outlet that's conveying the same contents. So it's not only seen on FB, it's seen in "The Nation" also so the message is being read, the haters will always hate, but she has come out and condemened these attacks..

Cult following... yeah maybe that would also describe the Shin family followers... Has she really come out and condemned them though? Considering all I have seen or heard about is a file photo attached to a written statement posted on Facebook. That 'condemnation' could have come from any of the staff with access to that account while she ran and hid in another province. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hawkman Posted February 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2014 Will she condemn her own supporters that cheer on the death of 5 year old girls? Or will she just blame others for that, like herself and Pro-Government supporters usually do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zakk9 Posted February 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2014 "She said she has instructed officials concerned to find out the culprits..." In doing that, one needs to merely ask four main questions for starters Which political forces are served by chaos, havoc, bombings and mayhem? Which ones are not? Which political forces are served by foisting such turmoil in their opposites, and for purposes it is generated in the first place. Which side has leadership aggrandizing gunmen with 'popcorn-sack' covered guns. Answering those questions will go a long way in focussing attention on the sources of this mayhem. We all know what answers you want to after those questions. Unfortunately for you, the landscape is a bit more complicated than that. Did you see the "red" pamphlets encouraging violence using children as illustrations? Have you talked some of the farmers that have been intimidated by the reds for years for not sharing their viewpoints? While I don't condone any political violence, there's a huge difference between having armed guards at a demonstration site and performing a massacre of unarmed demonstrators and bystanders where the main aim is to kill and injure as many as possible. Do you condone the killing of children to achieve your political aims? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AleG Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It would had been awfully nice of her to speak directly to her supporters and told them to, pretty please, don't kill people to "help" me and my government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjag Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> And the newspaper should cease constantly referring to her as "caretaker." It only serves to further antagonize, fracture, and engender conflict. It also detracts from the issue of violence and killing and maintaining peace. That's all she is at present, Caretaker Prime Minister, that is the proper title. I would think the taker rather than the care, could be wrong, but 3 years has been my teacher.

Mrjlh Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yingluck says: "Yingluck said her government would not tolerate the act of terrorism for political goal without caring about people's life."The government will not tolerate terrorism and has ordered a full investigation by authorities to find the culprits and bring them to justice without exception," her Facebook message said.She said those with different views should turn to use peaceful measures to express their opinions instead of using violence."But the use of violence that lead to deaths are not the civilized way of the living. It is not the way of life of Thais who are naturally considerate and emphatic to fellow citizens, rather than resort to senseless killings. I would like to again call on all sides that it is best to use peaceful means to resolve the political conflict through the democratic process," Yingluck said." If this is truly what Yingluck believes, she better pass a very public and strong message on to Jutaporn who is advocating violence from the "Red Shirts" at their rally site site near Korat. So who's more violent? I think we know the answer but I'm sure Red Shirt supports will bury their heads in the sand and as usual ...."Not Us"! No way! We're innocent.... What a bunch of loosers.

And all you could do is go on FB. Apart from some snide or sarcastic remarks, I have refrained from outrightly condemning you all this while, but it seems with the latest rounds of actions from you, particularly this one, you've done so yourself. Brilliantly. You're nickname shouldn't be 'crab'. It should end instead with a 'P'.

boomerangutang Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The Shinawatres are on their way out. But because they've become so thoroughly embedded themselves at the apex of the Thai power structure - it will take a lot of soap powder to get their stain washed out of the soiled silk pajamas. The same type of dynamic has happened in many countries for as long as people have enabled a few to take control over their tribes. It's like the dynamic of loaning money: The person wanting money will initially be all smiles and promises. Later, when the loan doesn't get paid back, that same person will be evasive, vindictive, threatening. Similarly, when a new leader comes along, he/she is all smiles, full of promises, adept at gaining confidence. Later, when they've out-done their welcome and shown to be scoundrels, they become evasive, threatening, full of guile. The Shinawatres will go the way of the Marcos (Philippines) and Papa Docs, and Suhartos, and Bokassas. In a little while, they'll be but a bitter memory to Thais and resident farang - and the butt of unflattering jokes. Perhaps even get a new word coined, like: "I heard about that guy you allowed to stay at your house - and how two weeks later, he took over your whole house, bossing everyone around. He really pulled a Thaksin on you, didn't he!?". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not only seen on FB, it's seen in "The Nation" also so the message is being read, the haters will always hate, but she has come out and condemened these attacks.. When I read the headline to this thread, I opened it in hope that YK, had done the right thing and got on TV condeming these attacks and announcing she and senior goverment personel would be visting the victims and relatives of those injured and killed and a statement that the caretaker goverment would do eveything in their power to bring the people to did this to book.. The other thought that crossed my mind was that I hoped YK was not going to be crass and insincere by posting stuff on facebook and the first thing I read "YK....on her facebook page".... To me it really shows how the PTP and specifically Shins dont give a sh*t about anyone expect themselves....how long did she agonise over those words on facebook ?.....about 30 seconds ? while reading up on the next Burberry collection ?, (if she even wrote these words herself, highly unlikely).....hollow words and crocodile tears from a coward of a PM...how touching.. The mark of a leader is not the words they speak or write, but the actions they take, and YK's actions here and with the rice scam show the contempt and complete lack of empathy she and her caretaker goverment have for the people of Thailand. The sooner her and her band of thieves are on a plane to Dubai permanently, the better IMHO, and if in in investigation her brother is found to have been involved in ordering, suggesting or financing these attacks, one really hopes who comes into power after YK, lays murder charges, an international arrest warrant issued and get him extradited back to Thailand, tried and if found guilty...the rest of his life in prison, I would suggest execution, but know this will not happen, besides loss of face would hurt him harder than a quick execution. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
