PM Yingluck awaits Constitutional Court decision on extending deadline
By Digital Content



BANGKOK, April 18 – Thailand's Constitutional Court was non-committal regarding its response to a request by caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to extend her deadline for presenting clarifications on the transfer of the former National Security Commission (NSC) chief for 15 days.

Chaowana Traimas, Secretary-General of the Constitutional Court Office, said the premier’s request will be submitted to the judges’ regular meeting on Wednesday.

Ms Yingluck yesterday asked her lawyers to seek Court approval for a 15-day extension on presenting her clarifications on the controversial transfer of Thawil Pliensri as NSC chief to an inactive post two years ago.

Mr Chaowana said Ms Yingluck’s request will be included in the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting of the Constitutional Court.

He said the judges’ consideration of the case will be free of political motivation, and that that the judges did not feel pressured despite widespread criticism from various quarters in Thai society.

The judges strictly abide by the constitutional framework, he said.

Somrit Chaiwong, Constitutional Court spokesman, said it would be up to the judges whether the prime minister’s request for an extension of her clarifications will be approved.

If the judges decide against the extension, a new date will be set for her, he said. (MCOT online news)

hahahahaha, she will be sh*tting bricks waiting for the answer to this. Can you see her trying to physically answer any questioning herself, she is totally illiterate when it comes to talking, even thinking causes her to panic as she isnt capable of it without someone to give her the answers.

Lets hope they see straight through her bullsh*t and say no.

Yingluck realizes it's impossible to stop a judicial coup, she can only try and delay it.

Yingluck realizes it's impossible to hide from all her wrongdoing, she can only try and delay the consequences.

Probably she will get it.

But what's the point?

Sooner or later she has to face her ill fate.

It's amusing how the table has turned around, now instead of being arrogant she started pleading.

She knows her days are numbered.

judicial coup

yawn

They are hoping they can delay justice until the next election, that puts them back in the driver seat and makes them immun to any court case. High gamble indeed.

Hahahahaha, Mark will be sh*tting bricks when the CC applies the laws for him and any of his MP's that did not vote in the Feb 2 election as if they did not? then they are not eligible the contest the next election, The possible get out of jail free card is that the courts will rule yes he and his MP's broke electoral rule (laws) but as the election was nullified it doesn't count

I think YL will more than likely be fired from the job, just as the last voted PM was stolen from the people, Some one (neutral, yellow)will have government for 3-4 years and the PTP or some reincarnated entity will contest the next election and win, will the minority try for a third time? we don't like you, we don't like your government, we don't respect your vote, Why do the minority not see this? How many times will this happen before there is a war?

Just more delay tactics and I can't believe the cons court is sucking it in.... They make the decision on Weds, that means she already has 5 days extension with a possible 15 days on top. Then there will be another delay, and all this time she is using her militant group to build an army.

I am starting to think that the CC is actually intimidated.

Unbelievable.... they should be ruling now... It's an open and shut case.... There is NO defense.

Very informed comments.....last PM stolen from the people.....minority try a third time.....what's going on??

Does it dawn on you that maybe the people of Thailand would like to have a bit of honesty in their government......people have been awakened somewhat...they've been shown how bad things have been......you must accept that being red is being on the losing side nowadays!

Only cheap if you don't count the lives lost in protesting the corruption of this inept and useless government interim government being controlled by a fugitive criminal who hasn't the balls to return like any real man would and fight his case/s in court instead of crying like baby wanting a pardon and to be forgiven while all the time endeavouring to destabilise the country .

Now moonao, how are you going to spin this - maybe you should get a bit of guidance from other members' of the red-boiler room typing pool.

Ukrit says Constitutional Court has no authority to accept Thawil's transfer case

BANGKOK: -- Dr Ukrit Mongkolnavin, chairman of the Independent National Rule of Law Commission, said Friday that Constitutional Court has no authority to accept the case against caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra related to the transfer of the National Security Council chief.

Ukrit said Yingluck and her Cabinet have already been out of office since Yingluck dissolved the House on December 9 but they simply are now acting as a caretaker administration.

Ukrit said Yingluck was also using her administrative power to transfer NSC chief Thawil Pliensri so the transfer should be regarded as interference in the affairs of permanent officials as alleged by a group of senators.

Yingluck needs to realize that this is the highest court in the land. By issuing a request through her lawyers for an extension the day before she was to appear before the highest court in the land - on a case that was two and a half years in the making, that was ruled on by the Administrative Court - last May - and by the Supreme Administrative Court - in a unanimous decision - she has not shown respect for the court, let alone her rantings on facebook, and any other drivel she has managed to utter in public since, and has likely not impressed the judges regarding her sincerity. Yingluck' sincerity has not been under question for only the length of this case, however. It started when she was first campaigning for office. She affirmed in no uncertain terms on the campaign trail that Thaksin had nothing to do with Pheu Thai or the administration she was hoping to lead. Two and a half years later, after all the sykpe conferences, after the passport issuance, after the amnesty bill, and on the eve of a massive Pheu Thai sojourn to Hong Kong - sincerity is yet another word that Pheu Thai has had to continually redefine.

Yes, must sit in the next cubicle to F. Boppe in the troll shed.

And now she tries with PTP's latest idea - A CAPO Coup!

What on earth does this mean? He seems to (almost) contradict himself by my reading. What is he trying to say? Even the date is wonky. It is dated tomorrow.....

Yes, must sit in the next cubicle to F. Boppe in the troll shed.

This is the crap both of them come up with from their tiny little minds as they are comparing one anothers tiny little appendages.

I hope she is making good use of the time in preparing her defense between now and when the judges meet to decide if she gets an extension.

Should she be given an extension it should be dated from the date she was supposed to appear not from the date of the judges meeting.

Even if they say no that she must appear before them the day after their meeting it will still mean she has had six extra days to "prepare her defense"

And before the 'but Suthep' red trolls get into things.

When he did not turn up at the courts to answer charges, even though he sent lawyers in his place, a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Lets see the same standard applied to Yingluck.

Yingluck needs to realize that this is the highest court in the land. By issuing a request through her lawyers for an extension the day before she was to appear before the highest court in the land - on a case that was two and a half years in the making, that was ruled on by the Administrative Court - last May - and by the Supreme Administrative Court - in a unanimous decision - she has not shown respect for the court, let alone her rantings on facebook, and any other drivel she has managed to utter in public since, and has likely not impressed the judges regarding her sincerity.

Two and a half years later, after all the sykpe conferences, after the passport issuance, after the amnesty bill, and on the eve of a massive Pheu Thai sojourn to Hong Kong - sincerity is yet another word that Pheu Thai has had to continually redefine.

Yingluck has made several requests of the judges of the court and that's the long and the short of it. She hasn't ever attacked or criticized the CC as she knows better, has the support of her advisors, and doesn't need to scamper around all the time looking to invent eccentric narratives.

Several legal experts have offered their professional opinion over a time now that the Thawil case is not within the jurisdiction of the CC based on their reading of the constitution. Honest people can have honest differences, even here where Diogenes himself would meet with his greatest frustrations.

You are very mistaken about her abilities and as the police are now watching Thai Visa Forum I think you should be very afraid. She was dux of her class at Chiang Mai University and how about you? Are you able to boast of anything academically? I read on an eminent Face Book account of how she spoke for over 90 minutes at the National Defense College - fluently and without notes - does that sound like the 'totally illiterate' that you have the hide to slur in this public post? Yes, I would be very afraid and watch yourself for however long you still think you want to be a resident of the Kingdom. Maybe you are one of the 'dear Leaders', S T, special boys and have no fear but his days are going to be spent in a Thai prison eventually, unless he scoots the country for a haven abroad with his ill gotten gains from Thai people.

maybe she will be sick, just the red shirt leaders, who are asking for a delay 2 weeks for sickness, it didn't take me that long to get on my feet fromopen heart surgery. Bunch of crap is they all send lawyers the DAY they are due. Maybe they need to make the trip to Hong Kong too!

Bluie3,you really are in love with this woman.

so you don't believe in the laws and the justice system, maybe it shouldn't apply to prime ministers - right ?

you're like a broken record

"...unless he scoots the country for a haven abroad with his ill gotten gains from Thai people."

I think that's been done before by an infamous Thai?

Everything is possible, especially when it comes to face-saving delays... only in Thailand,....

she spoke for over 90 minutes at the National Defense College - fluently and without notes

Was the topic of the 90 minute speech where and how to buy

A Cartier bangle like the one on my wrist, worth Bt200,000

A highquality pearl necklace like the one round my neck valued at more than Bt100,000

A Hermes scarf like the one on my shoulder priced at Bt19,500

A Hermes handbag like the one in my right hand priced at Bt200,000, and a classic Chanel handbag

in my left hand priced at Bt200,000

A pair of Jimmy Choo shoes like the ones on my feet priced at Bt100,000

A 13.5-karat diamond pendant like the one I'm wearing priced at 7.7 million baht.

The perfume I'm wearing priced at Bt4,500 for 100ml.

This is the only topic she could speak on for 90 minutes without notes. Or maybe I'm wrong and she was explaing how much sorrow and pain she felt for the poor farmers that have not been paid for their rice. Then she burst into tears recalling the farmers that had comitted suicide due to not being paid and it took her 30 minutes to regain her composure.

And by the way the only thing I'm afraid of is running out of Leo on the weekends when my friends come over.
