Supa Piyajitti selected as new NACC member

[Thai at Heart]

Oh boy! Someone in Dubai sprayed his morning latte all over his keyboard when he read this news!

They tried to intimidate and discredit this woman, when she was doing her last job with courage and integrity. I guess that really backfired, didn't it?

No doubt.

I wonder why they don't put Sondhi and Suthep on the committee too.

Couldn't they just have called her to give evidence?

Fab4, actually, as much as I don't want to, I have to agree with you (and you know I don't want to agree with you). Supa should be a witness, not on the committee.

First and foremost, before everything, corruption has to be proven without a shadow of a doubt. If this is done, then it needs to be proven that YL, as Chairperson of the Rice Committee, was forewarned that there may be corruption being committed. Here, as a witness, showing her independency, Supa should be allowed to testify.

If YL is truly guilty of looking the other way while corruption was taking place under her nose, then a Kangaroo Court isn't needed.

I argued elsewhere that the more they appear to jig the system the more everyone will cry that its jigged and the less authority the judgements will have.

Just get rid of this lot through correct independent judgements. Putting the whistle blower on the committee itself is utterly absurd.

Do you know for sure that they didn't?

They have called many witnesses over the last year or more, it would seem quite likely given her previous position she was called.

And probably took documentation with her.

It should also be noted that she wont be taking up her position with the NACC till after the decision on the rice pledging has been made so she wont have a say(vote) on that.

Her honesty however will undoubtedly be useful in future cases.

So she's a witness and has a vote on whether the case proceeds.

Do you realise what you have just said. That would be even more absurd.

Yep.... chalk up another of the Suthep/Abhisit clan on the " independent...neutral" Commission...and then with the new Senator elect Jongchai Thiengtham who wants to be the upper house speaker... just a continuation of the dismantling of a fair and equitable body started in 2006... the never ending coup... and the beat goes on... more power too them... if your public allows you to stack the deck...som nom na... they get what they deserve...one day.. maybe not in this lifetime but when education is truly a desire... and history and information can be freely interpreted... the truth will be known and these cowboys all exposed 250-138= _____...

Perhaps you could contribute some more detailed info on what's wrong with this lady? Seems she's qualified, has knowledge about many problem areas and has courage. What's wrong with that?

The lady is against corruption and has proven to be standfast in the wake of protests by a corrupt government.

To call her biased is like calling all of the NACC biased against corruption.

BTW you know what NACC stands for

1. So what's actually your point?

2. How would you suggest appointing the commissioners of the NACC?

3. Who are the cowboys you mention?

4. Please share some suggested real names as possible NACC commissioners.

Let me put it to ya this way... lets deal with the cowboys...and you have to step back and look at this from a bigger perspective...follow the money... follow who finances the Democrat Party... Look at who sits on the boards of these companies...look at what leading Industrialists say about the unbelievable sway BOT, Privy Council..and the 10 or 20 wealthiest Thai Families have and their relationship to Thai Politics...takes a bit of reading and research ... a few months worth for me as I can't sit and ponder it daily but could prove quite revealing to you as well but is a good read...and then couple that with the archaic laws governing freedom of speech ..Those two tied together are what keeps the MO going... and the monied people from both colored sides understand this.... though one side weighs in quite a bit heavier than the other,,,if and when... you are not sued for defamation and truth can be spoken out loud and topics not intentionally suppressed.....only then can the playing field be a bit more level... for me the biggest inhibiting factor is truth and education...taking the Thai people out of the mythology of expertise and actually educating them and giving them the confidence to speak up...something they are currently taught not to do from Matayom 1 on... you know thew old adage... Money talks... has a couple of edges...bribes.. is the obvious ...but the subtler is the one where someone evaluates what a billionaire says and weighs that against what a pauper says... and normally thinks that the guy with the money must be right...he got the money so his MO must be the better choice...

Someone that sits on a Commission that decides on Corruption or Decides on Elections has to be as squeaky clean as possible and has to be vetted publicly otherwise it matters not what side you take there will always be those who claim corruption there as well... They should be vetted publicly and agreed on by a broad spectrum of the public in order to not be a repeat of the last 8 years...

not gonna take the time to give you as list now ....as what or who I think might be good has no bearing on any outcomes but... I think the Thai public should be provided a list to take a look at.. not arbitrary appointments by insiders stacking the deck in their interests... Education is the key... Thais are taught not to think independently...and frankly after 12 or more years of that hammered into your head in school you end up with people in the workforce with an attitude that does not embrace educating themselves in any way shape or form or even wanting to...after getting a degree..not all mind you ..but many...just don't want to study anymore because that takes work...and that has been intentional...that is where the whole thing functions from... it is how the cowboys keep control of the herd...

Supa selected as NACC member

Simple explanation - She proved she stood for truth and justice by revealing losses and corruption in the rice scheme.

Complicated explanation - See above

That would have to be the most complicated explanation I think I have read for anything so far in Thai politics.

Have you heard of "Occam's razor"? The fewer the assumptions that are made the better.

I dread to ask your explanation of why the chicken crossed the road and I am sure it would involve the DEM's somehow as well!

Might do you well as well to believe in your own signature...

"Time to listen to the will of the majority even if you don't like it accept it."

Um,,,we were on the subject of Supa and her selection and your explanation of it. So your best response is completely ignore my post and instead change the subject to my signature which has absolutely nothing to do with Supa's selection.

WOW.

Anyway like I said very complicated explanation for a very simple selection.

I might get a cup of tea now. Please don't explain how I will do this. Maybe write back and change the subject again and mention the coup this time or some other illigocial subject change that will allow you not to address the post at hand.

Actually she will deffo serve in a case against YL... This is just the case for negligence.

What Supa will bring to the table is information and where to look for the missing money seeing she was head of accounting for the scheme.

This will possibly lead to criminal prosecutions for noy only allowing the fraud, but for also acting as a facilitator.

Which could see YL in the dock on multiple fronts and a very lengthy prison sentence in the future.

Actually, what they should do, in order to get the low down on what the corruption really is, would be to put Yingluck herself on the committee so that she can tell them herself privately.

I mean what could be better for indpendece than to have the whistle blower and defendant sharing experiences together on the committee to help stop corruption.

I cant believe anyone thinks appointing the accuser to the committee is a good thing.

Hey appoint Thaksin, he has experience......

[Skywalker69]

Oh dear... Oh dear...

This is the last thing the Thaksin, YL / PTP and UDD need.

The actual whistle blower that essentially blew the lid on the whole rice scam.

Not only did she spill the beans last year, but she also pointed out that the government lied about the losses.

She has the entire accounting knowledge seeing as she was actually head of accounting for the scheme, and knows all the details that will hang everyone involved.

She will also know about any and all cover ups in the figures, and now she takes all this knowledge with her to her new position in the NACC.

She is the last person in Thailand that the government needed to be transferred to that position.

Looks like the senate are anything but pro-Thaksin regime.

A very very black day indeed for the red camp.

You can't exactly call having a 24 carat solid gold witness with immense credibility on the actual commission that is investigating all the fraud.... 'a coup'.

What will you red lot do now????....... say she will bring 'fake' evidence?

Another "shitty" day for the man in Dubai. Good!!!

[tezzainoz]

Great choice, Thaksin/PT hate her for finding evidence of corruption and not bowing down to their dictates.

"While serving as head of the subcommittee scrutinizing the government’s rice pledging scheme, Ms Supa was known for her audacious move in uncovering evidence of corruption in the controversial scheme. She was sacked from the chairperson’s post afterwards."

Very telling. We can't have people finding out the truth now can we.

Please whisper when you say that

they will raise from the dead and haunt us all with postings if they even suspect we have have uncovered some truth

Yes it may have been a complicated explanation and yes perhaps brevity is your forte,,, but I would suggest that doing more research... looking at alternative sources of information...stepping back from bias... read some books on corruption and Democracy in Thailand as well as longer term history and building a foundation on longer term sources instead of knee jerk responses to very limited sources of info...may serve one better...rather than thrust "Occam's razor"? The fewer the assumptions that are made the better..." out... but then you make my point...less assumptions= fewer mistakes...? hardly... Take a good look at the patronage -client custom...sin nam jai... and the history of Thai Politic without the color blinders on...This is hardly a coincidence that she has been brought on board...whether she has any sway on this particular ruling or not... she is a future player/ally of some very shrewd manipulators.. hope you enjoyed your tea and wish you and your family a Happy Songkran.

sounds like a great nomination, she is honest and prepared to do the hard yards to get to the truth but you can bet the ptp/reds will chuck a wobbly over her nomination, they dont like people that are honest...... especially when you consider she was the only one that was prepared to tell the truth about the rice scheme and the results, the ptp tried everything to silence her, couldnt ask for anyone better to be in the NACC.

I am not sure what a "chuck a wobbly" means, but it sounds like something they have already done. Thai politics at its best.

Absolutely wonderful choice. This was the woman who first brought the Pheu Thai corruption in the rice scheme forward, and having done that honourable deed for her fellow Thai's was probed and sacked by the the Dubai scumbag puppets PM and the equally idiotic Kittarat. Karma is a sweet justice. Suck on that Yingluck big time....and watch the door does not kick your arse on the way out.

I agree, brilliant choice, she is the one person that can crucify Yingluck on the shenanigans of the rice scam.

Boy!! are they going to regret persecuting her for doing her job.

PTP can't complain as she was voted in with a 'land slide' majority of 66% so as democratic as can be with her nomination clearly being a popular one.

I hope that they give her a nice big desk with plenty of in-trays on it, with one huge one marked YINGLUCK!!!

[Balance]

If corruption is endemic, that is a very high percentage of the civil service has their nose in the public feed bag, and the majority of the Thai people do not think that it is wrong, then how are changes made to that part of Thai culture. If there are laws against corruption that were put there to satisfy the WB or IMF but that are ignored, then you start by no longer ignoring them. But, that means that more than the one lady has to be in on the conspiracy to enforce the laws. Everyone has to be willing to live on their salary, which seems to be a very hard thing for any Thai to do given the level of consumer debt.

So, it is likely that as well meaning as this lady is, she will be marginalized and put in a box, unable to do anything. The WB and IMF have a very large set of sticks that could be used to scare/force/enforce change if Thailand wants to continue to be considered an emerging country with serious intentions. But this medicine is painful and has many side effects.
