UbonRatch Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Bill them for the tablets. Then I bet they would get returned pronto. How can you take a tablet, as a gift, away from your kid? Would have to be cruel to do that. They'll be returned pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to be cruel to do that. They'll be returned pronto. What have "kids" got to do with it (other than the mental age of the MP's perhaps)? The tablets were "loaned" to current MP's at the time, they were not "gifts", they should be returned or paid for by the MP's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangrak Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Oh, what, me give back the tablet my son is using now, no way, it was a present from Yingluck, and Thaksin paid for it with his money, cin-cin kap! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccarty Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Once they gave those to their kids, they could only be pried out of their cold dead hands to get them back. Like Americans and their guns! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It's all a misunderstanding....when the military junta cancelled the school tablet program the MPs thought it also applied to their iPads and they could then keep them....just a simple misunderstanding. Plus, what incoming MP would accept a hand-me-down/used iPad...why it's just not allowed...the latest model must be bought instead...and bought yearly...it's one of the Apple Ten Commandments.

seajae Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I imagine the ptp ministers would be ensuring they have removed all the evidence of their corruption and of course all the porn. Then again they might think because they are so special they can just keep them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 ''Where are you baby Toom ? '' '' Daddy needs his tablet back to hand in so you will have to go back to playing tiddly winks or pocket billiards''. ''Wahhhhhhh; you can't have it, i'm on level 72 of a quest i'vve forgotten the name of and you just want to make me unhappy ''. ''Don't worry son i'll buy you a new, bigger, better one as soon as i get my nose back in the trough. You will have to wait until then as i don't want to spend my own money on it ''. ''I hate you ''.

Halion Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Simply,yet another example of the nature and character of Thai administration. Doubt if any will be returned owing to the fear of any deleted material being available via forensic analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Except it wasn't. Have a read of the post again. You seem to be in that group that thinks the government also bought the overprices clocks. The *independent* (and, happily for them, pro-yellow pro-military) secretariat of parliament operates very well without government direction, thank you very much. .

Are you saying the MP's gave the iPad's to their kids and therefore they shouldn't have to return them? If so, I still don't get the point. You don't borrow something from someone and then give it away to someone else. And based on net worth, none of those MP's need to be given or loaned anything in the first place.

oneday Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Those PM's that DID return their iPads just might be the ones that should stay in politics. If they are honest with such a small thing as an iPad then there's good chance they could be decent politicians. Heck, there have to be some honest people out there...I hope.

You don't borrow something from someone and then give it away to someone else. And based on net worth, none of those MP's need to be given or loaned anything in the first place. Lets start again, the IPads were loaned to the MP's and are now due to be returned, it is possible some of them they GAVE them to their kids as a present The OP simply said "How can you take a tablet, (given)* as a gift (to your kid)*, away from your kid." * My notation.
