Yingluck stresses she will stay to the last minute



BANGKOK: -- Caretaker Prime Minister Yinglulck Shinawatra repeated her strong determination to stay on to power to the last minute to uphold democracy.

She made clear of her stance to remain as caretaker prime minister on her Facebook page after this morning’s visit to Saraburi to view activities at the Otop Center Complex.

After her visit, she wrote on her Facebook page saying she had to stay in power just to uphold democracy.

As to call by many people for her to resign, she said she would like to ask them is resignation an answer.

She said her resignation would lead to power vacuum and the tearing up of the constitution which is also undemocratic and not possible.

As a citizen and the prime minister, she said she could not let this to happen but would stay on to uphold democracy until the new government is formed.

She said she would stay to the last minute and now it is timely for all sides to meet face to face to reach a settlement that is accepted by the majority of the people and within the boundary of the constitution.

As to the violence in Trat and Ratchaprasong, she said she strongly condemned the use of violence that has caused many deaths, particularly children have lost their lives.

She called the attacks terrorist attacks for political gains without any regard for human lives. 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.

She said she would like to ask all sides of the political divide that “we may see things differently and there are many ways to express those differences. 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 empathetic 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.”

Stressing she is, as the article's headlines says, but not in that sense. Every recent image as well as her hiding out, reveals a woman instructed by her brother to stay so his cause isn't lost; all the while totally fearing the wrath of karma and problems her pea brain have recently caused the country.

"Yingluck stresses she will stay to the last minute"

Somebody , please, ask her to switch off the lights, before she leaves.

Not all red shirts condemn violence...

"I have good news to tell my red-shirt brothers and sisters from all provinces. The People’s Democratic Reform Committee members of Suthep (Thaugsuban) at the protest stage in Khao Saming (Trat province) were deservedly given a reception by the locals. Five PDRC people were killed and over 30 injured"

So Yingluck is posting *in english* on her facebook page addressing the protesters...?

First off, she should do it in Thai, not english... this is just a gimmick for the Foreign press.

Secondly she should do it face-to-face, not via her Facebook page...

Mind you, when she takes her instruction via Skype, its understandable why she might think Facebook is an acceptable communication media for Policy and Negotiations.

[TVGerry]

Her jet to Dubai is all warmed up and ready to take her away at the last minute.

[whybother]

How about Yingluck takes herself of the PTP party list? I think that would be a good start to kick off negotations with PDRC.

[JAG]

You read a lot into it. I read that :

1 - She has been to Saraburi, in public, so not really hiding out.

2 - She feels that as she was elected, she should remain in office until the results of the current election are known.

[uty6543]

At least she reconises there is a last minute for her, and her brother.

[kikoman]

She is the rightful elected leader in the country, if you do not like her vote her out of office!

Oh sorry I forgot all of us Farangs do not have a right to vote in Thailand!

Cheers

[Spartakos]

Cling to power until the last minute, no matter what. Well I never had any doubt about it.

[whoisyourdaddy]

Any half brained PM would step down to calm the situation.

Opposition wants her and her family gone, not the entire PTP.

Just goes to show the "real" love

Many leaders around the world have resigned when they have determined they have failed their constituents. Yingluck should do the same. It has nothing to do with democracy.

[Nickymaster]

Madam Prime Minister, I know you will stay to the end, you are truly a bright light in these days of Darkness, good luck to you!

Peace be with you!

She will stay, don't worry. I heard that she is not leaving before she has blown 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion baht) on her rice scam. We are at THB 910,000,000,000 so only 90 billion to go.

Come on Yingluck. Keep on protecting the interest of Thais .

[thatp]

Stay on to the last minute. To the underground bunker, if it comes to that. Is that a threat or a promise?

And this person is an active police officer, makes you wonder right?

[schbang]

On behalf of your paid-electors we thank you. Can we have another election soon? Pllllllllleeeeeeaaaaase ?

[moe666]

Madam Prime Minister, I know you will stay to the end, you are truly a bright light in these days of Darkness, good luck to you!

Peace be with you!

Maybe the bright light can shine a beam on the corruption in the rice scam.

[ikurauni]

Another great statements from Yingluck.

I don't think she can see the entire picture.

Her forehead is smaller than other people and that really explains.

She have made a lot of wrong judgement as PM and she still keeps doing it.

I guess she wants to see more people get killed.

It is truly remarkable.

[ggold]

She is the rightful elected leader in the country, if you do not like her vote her out of office!

Oh sorry I forgot all of us Farangs do not have a right to vote in Thailand!

Cheers

that was then this is now. She is the caretaker PM she dissolved parliament. So she is no longer the rightful elected leader. Those elections are inconclusive, and may prove that she no longer has the peoples vote.

Hard to believe it is really her doing it. I mean aside from the fact she does absolutely nothing.

Really, they should search the IP, and determine if it is her- and second of all, the location- and hold protests wherever the IP turns up, until they find her and put some pressure on her to face demonstrators and speak out to them in person, to gain at least a little respect, which she has failed to do whatsoever in the course of 3 years.

[phutoie2]

She is not going anywhere, tough as old boots this one, even had time to fit a bit of shopping in at the OTOP.

Outwitted old flared nostrils once again.

Its in Thai on her Facebook page too

[MaxLee]

Whether she steps down or not,... the curse of Thaksin-DEMO-ocracy will never die,... because the rest of the redshirts aren't a few million rice farmers...

hahaaha... good joke... think big brother will surely allow that...

1. not a leader whatsoever by definition

2. the party was vote buying, they chose her (the people vote for the PARTY) if you were here, you'd have seen the signs: thaksin thinks, PTP does it (they voted indirectly for him) get it right!

3. foreigners on here, some indeed have citizenship, are dual citizens, half and half, have residency like myself, a family here, invest here, pay tax here..and can affect/impact the situation in regards to boycotting, pulling out investments etc.

you're just on here for the sole purpose of winding people up- no vision of solutions, constructive viewpoints, nor a willingness to look at the real situation based on the facts. Step one is acknowledging rampant vote buying. Look into it, and we can give you Thailand 101 lessons part II tomorrow.

Peace be with you!

Then that really is sad for Thailand if she is the only bright light! More like the dark clouds of doom. Time she went to Dubai.

[Rich teacher]

But, but it was supposed to be all over this week!

Remember it's the 'end game' this week!

You'd think even his stupid supporters would be getting sick of the drivel that comes out of this old fool's mouth.
