Pheu Thai lawyer affirms Yingluck's return to Thailand after her European trip

BANGKOK, 8 August 2014 (NNT) - Singtong Buachum, a member of Ms. Yingluck Shinawatra’s entourage on her trip to Europe, gave an assurance that the former Prime Minister would return to Thailand by August 10th.

Mr. Singtong, who is also a member of the Pheu Thai Party’s legal team, also assured that the former Prime Minister would fight her case for dereliction of duty to prevent losses in the rice-pledging scheme at the Supreme Court.

The Pheu Thai lawyer stated that he is now preparing necessary evidence and documents to defend Ms. Yingluck, after the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has refused Ms. Yingluck’s request to bring additional witnesses for the case.

She went on vacation with her son but had to take an entourage ?

 

Is that code for hangers on,  sycophants,  or heavies,  I mean advisers, assigned by her brother to make sure she doesn't screw up more than usual or return against his wishes ?

Not sure why we need to be continually told she is coming back. Just come back unannounced like anybody else.

Well there is an issue that the lawyer should know better. The purpose of the NACC was simply to decide if the matter should be heard by a court. In court Yingluck is permitted to bring a 100 witnesses if she wants. The NACC is not a court  it is an investigative arm of the law and if they hear enough to conclude that the matter needs to be heard in a court of law they don't need to listen to any witnesses, they pass it up to the court. The lawyer is deliberately engaged in obfuscation and a bid to charge more fees!

She'll come back, she knows all the junta wants to do is charge her on some trumped up criminal offence so she gets barred from politics 5 years. She's a brave woman "she'll be back".

 

Typical denial, Thaksin style post, your "trumped up" agenda has been used for years, old hat and is now past it's sell by date.

Brave woman?  How about vacuous airhead who got used by her brother for his own gain.

I am not even sure the real reason Thaksin fled. People with a lot less means and much more serious crimes manage to elude jail sentences for many years after sentencing even if they eventually lose in the appeals process. Thaksin fled before even being convicted. If his sister has any of the same fears he did, I would expect her not to return.

Would it be affirm or confirm? 

 

Affirmation is used to demonstrate a "stronger" sense of stating a fact to be true, rather than merely saying it was, by confirming the fact. English is a wonderful language with many nuances.

"People with a lot less means and much more serious crimes..."

 

 Could you say which crimes are "more serious" than the slaughter of approximately 3,000 innocent men, women and children and dividing a country to a state of near civil war for personal profit and face? I'm curious what would be considered more serious than that.

I'd say confirm.  So where do I apply for press release writer for Yingluck?

Unless you can tell me when he was charged for any of these alleged crimes or even that there was an indication he would be charged, your question makes no sense.

 

I am certainly no Thaksin fan but the issues you speak of were not criminal complaints he was facing when he fled. But lets pretend there were charges ... hasn't Suthep and Abhisit actually been facing charges for the deaths of people during the riots? I don't see them fleeing or in jail and not sure if the penalty would be anymore sever for 90 deaths or 3,000.

She will be in need of a   Dura-cell.---but a few pro Thaksin posters are running on them I think.

The NACC better pray that the OAG will have the evidence to charge Yingluck under Penal Code 157 or the table will be turned on them. They risk being charged for malfeasance under 157 if OAG decide not to press charge. If the NCPO audit is any sort of indication, the NACC may need to seek a powerful soothsayer.

A lot of people had her never to return.  I guess she is better than some thought.

 

Maybe Chooka. Or maybe the caddy has "advised" her to return and fight the good fight, no doubt promising to be side by side (well in spirit). Every cause needs a martyr now and then.

 

All part of his latest plan concluded while the clan gathered in Paris.

Brave? A billionaire who could flee at anytime and live a very comfortable life indeed. She will still be treated like a VIP.

 

 

Why do you think coming back makes her brave?

 

Unless you are comparing her with her cowardly criminal brother.

 

She has the rice issues,and other investigations. The fact she did bugger all but lie and deny there were any problems, removing those who said different makes "trumped up" seem a little inappropriate. The charge is negligence.
