Alwyn Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 If it's T's idea that she return home, then he's playing a high-stakes game in terms of public sentiment and issues of morality - at least high stakes for him and his family. If it all goes pear-shape for her, then T and co lose the moral high ground on the world stage, and destroy what remaining shreds of support they have in Thailand, and this is very likely anyway. So what is going on? I seriously doubt a deal has been done with the junta as the rice scheme is far too significant to be nudged aside or diminished in any way. This is very intriguing as I doubt YL is returning as a matter of principle, nor to continue the good fight on behalf of the Shins. There is simply no way she is going to expose herself to the risk of incarceration when she has the resources to spend the rest of her life in luxury. You are severely underestimating the support they have in Thailand, otherwise they would not have won every single election they stood in. This is very true, If another election was held now she'd win again - hence no election and you know that do ya..2015 is the election or you been away.. and the date for the election is.....? I also understand that the only people allowed to run in the election are people the Junta allow or promote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post djjamie Posted August 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) You people are a sorrowful bunch. Last night you stayed up hoping she wouldn't return so you can make your ugly comments. Now she comes back and you start your insults. Very disgusting group of people here. I sincerely agree with you. She has come back and still the insults on this forum continue - but if we believe in Karma then all this mud and dirt will come 100 X on their heads and I won't be sad to hear it happening. She was dux of her class in Chiang Mai University and graduated honorably. Her achievements and work have been exemplary and we should never forget who stopped the rice payments to the farmers - they too have to face their KARMA. Those thugs and vicious despicables who took their money out of the bank and issued threats are the true ones who caused tragedy in the Kingdom. She has come back to clear her involvement and I hope that 'reason' wins in her defense and those who wrought ed the system are caught and punished. Anyway, those on this forum were quick to keep the lies going on how much was missing and really hate it when the percentage is now known. They can't handle being so wrong - they would rather support the bankrupt murderer - the great leader - of the innocent in their quest to damage and destroy a 'good' person. I believe this dirt will come back and smother them in time - it is a law of the universe - unstoppable!!! I swear I saw a novel of yours next to "Lord of the Rings" in the local book store. Is your story set in New Zealand as well? On a serious note, one can truly see a window into the strength of PTP propaganda here and I can feel the hate in your words that blind you to believe what you do overlooking all facts and logic in that quest leading to your denial of the facts. it is a dangerous reminder that if a westerner can be swayed this easily in supporting figures that allow terrorism to flourish with impunity then one can only imagine the other uneducated 7% fanatical minority that strongly support red shirts as well. They were after all the ones that instigated the terrorist attacks. They too held this dangerous belief that you reflect. They too have shown why reform is needed. I have read some speeches by Australians fighting in Iraq for ISIS and they too have speeches that rewrite history, skew facts and fabricate truths to justify their goals and absolve criminals. A very very dangerous path that always leads to terrorism as was shown in Bangkok by the brutal red shirts some so lovingly support. I thank you for one thing bluie3. For highlighting through your dangerous interpretation of history and twisting of facts why reform is absolutely critical to peace and stability in Thailand. Thank you and I hope you can open your eyes to peace and stability all of which without a shadow of a doubt (through all economic indicators) was thanks to the Right Honorable General Preyuth. Bless his heart. On a lighter note. I hope the woman that never attended one rice council meeting while being the chairman of it, the woman that said there were 0% irregularities in the scheme, the women that said there is no corruption in the scheme, the women that transferred and sacked anyone that dared suggest there were irregularities in the scheme, the women whose party promised 3 times before the Suthep protests began that there was enough money to pay farmers up until March, 2014 is held to account for negligence and for anyone to suggest she should not be held to account I say one thing.

robertson468 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Far too early to do a runner. There are a whole host of proceccess to go through and even if found guilty, she will without doubt appeal against the decision, which would be a more appropriate time to go off on some incredibly important overseas appointment and pick up a couple of courtesy passports from some dodgy Countries - then it will be time to end the show and close the final curtain.

Frank James Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Reminds me of an Elton John song "The Bitch Is Back " Oh, you like that, huh? Here's more, just for YOU. I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch Oh the bitch is back Stone cold sober as a matter of fact I can bitch, I can bitch`Cause I'm better than you It's the way that I move The things that I do Thanks, Sir Elton. Great Song And here's an even better one, that I dedicate to Lady Yingluck, with love from your fans in Chiang Mai Country: Welcome Back! "I'm Still Standing" You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHwVBirqD2s[/media] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickymaster Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Well the good luck she might already have had. I mean with such amount of luggage some people would still be at the airport next week trying to find all the receipts for the stuff bought or trying to convince that they really had it with them already when starting their trip. Surely must feel good to be an Amply Rich Elite Defender of Democracy and The People alt=rolleyes.gif> So you know what was in her luggage? He doesn't know anything and it's really none of his business. I believe she departed Thailand with 15 pieces and return with 15 so what make your rumor mongers think she even purchased anything while overseas. Also how do you know she didn't go through immigrations. Were you there, I wasn't so I can't say like you can. She left with 15 bags and came back with 15 bags. Therefore she couldn't have bought anything..... This is funny s..t MB. Keep them coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Gives the Junta a bit of a difficult balancing act. If they are too zealous in their pursuit of her they will alienate her supporters whilst if they aren't forceful enough they will alienate their own supporters. And if she is found not guilty, then there this in effect means there was very little legal and political justification for the coup. How do you achieve political reconciliation whilst prosecuting the leader of the last democratically elected government? Bit of a paradox. Don't see what its got to do with the Junta. The NACC has investigated the rice scheme for over 2 years long before the army came along and found that Yingluck was negligent. They have passed this information on to the OAG who will now decide if a prosecution is warranted. If they decide in that way it will then be passed to the appropriate court. If she is found guilty by that court she will be found guilty of breaking the law. No doubt then there would be right of appeal as with any other case. Do you believe that because of her position at the time she should be above the law ? I didn't realize that Yinglucks alleged negligence was the reason given for staging the coup... learn something every day. Should those in high places be exempt from prosecution because it may put their supporters noses out of joint ? You would learn an awful lot more if you took your blinkers off and cared to do some research. Please elaborate on what I have to learn. While you are at it show me what is in my post that is not true. Then as you have chosen to butt in and insult me, even though the questions weren't directed at you, perhaps as a bonus you could answer the 2 questions I posed in reference to the post I answered.

Dogmatix Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It was definitely very much in Thaksin's interests that she should return home. Fleeing would have implied she was guilty and had abandoned her brother's red shirts. Keeping her in Thailand keeps the Shins in the news and has the potential to make her into an Aung San Suu Kyi figure (whom Thaksin has compared himself to along with with Nelson Mandela). Coming back on time gives her an excellent chance of always being granted bail right up to the moment of sentencing and still having the ability to jump bail at the last moment like Thaksin did. Thaksin must have assured her that he will fix things so that her cases will be spun out for a long time and then PT will win an election before her conviction and quash all the cases like he managed to get his wife off her 3 year sentence for tax fraud without ever having to serve a day. If he miscalculates (again) and she ends up being incarcerated, then she will be even more useful to him as an Aung San Suu Kyi figure. Given her lack of intellectual depth and total emotional and financial dependency on her brother, It is hard to see Yingluck making an independent decision about this. From the junta's side, I would guess they expected her to come back for the reasons given above but must have hoped like hell that she wouldn't. The comparisons with Bush and the disappearing WMD plus the trial and execution of Sadam are not completely out of whack. Yingluck certainly has a strong potential to be a spanner in the works and whatever happens to her will p1ss off a large percentage of the population either way. There are already 2 criminal cases being prepared against her and more could be on the way. If she is convicted in the rice pledging case, it is most likely that a civil case in the Supreme Court for Political Office Holders would follow for damages that could result in seizure of all her assets in Thailand. In addition there is the issue of whether she will still have to undergo impeachment proceedings on at least 2 cases when a new Senate is formed. I think there is also a chance that criminal and impeachment cases could be brought against the entire Yingluck government for the infrastructure bill that was rejected by the Constitutional Court, as it was a government bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as the old saying goes, if my aunty had a willy, she'd be my uncle. There is one fact and one fact only, She returned on the Sunday exactly as she said she would. How many pieces of luggage she returned with is totally irrelevant, if immigration went to the plane is irrelevant (crikey even Farangs with Thai Elite card get fast-tracked). Immigration going to the plane for VIPs is not a new thing. What difference does it make if immigration went to the plane? What difference does it make if she had an extra bag?

webfact Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 AFTER COUPYingluck insists she won't flee BANGKOK: -- Ex-premier Yingluck Shinawatra on Monday said she would not flee Thailand as she has strong bonds with the country. She thanked Thais for being worried about her but said she went abroad to take a vacation with her son. She was speaking after spending almost three weeks overseas. She returned from the trip last night by a chartered flight reportedly from Singapore. During the trip, she attended a birthday party of her fugitive brother; Thaksin Shinawatra, in Paris. She left Bangkok after getting permission from the military junta who seized the power in late May.

louse1953 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 If it's T's idea that she return home, then he's playing a high-stakes game in terms of public sentiment and issues of morality - at least high stakes for him and his family. If it all goes pear-shape for her, then T and co lose the moral high ground on the world stage, and destroy what remaining shreds of support they have in Thailand, and this is very likely anyway. So what is going on? I seriously doubt a deal has been done with the junta as the rice scheme is far too significant to be nudged aside or diminished in any way. This is very intriguing as I doubt YL is returning as a matter of principle, nor to continue the good fight on behalf of the Shins. There is simply no way she is going to expose herself to the risk of incarceration when she has the resources to spend the rest of her life in luxury. You are severely underestimating the support they have in Thailand, otherwise they would not have won every single election they stood in. You are severly underestimating the Army and their backers this time.There will be no election until that support is eroded or the Shins decapitated,figuritively speaking.We dont want to go through the previous shenaigans again and again.

Baerboxer Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 No immigration? Wow! Must be nice . Did she go through customs so they could check she was not bringing in goods over the allowed duty free values? How many pieces of luggage did she come back with? Was it searched, She might be an ousted caretaker PM/DM with considerable investigations hanging over her, but still treated as a VIP and above the law. Just a big game to the HiSo elites like her that never have to worry because laws and rules simply don't apply. Why do you make the unfounded suggestion that she didn't have to pass an Immigration officer? If you can read you will know how many cases she brought back. Why should she necessarily have her luggage searched, does every person entering the country have their luggage searched? I know I have never had my luggage searched. How is her entering the country as a Thai citizen "above the law"? Talking of reading ability, where did I make a suggestion she didn't pass an immigration officer in my post you copied? Customs and immigration aren't the same. There, you've learnt something new today, In a later post it says she brought 15 pieces of luggage back whilst another source said "several". I wasn't there to count them, were you? Thai customs have announced they will be enforcing the duty free limits and taxes on luxury goods imports. As a very very wealthy person with a known propensity for shopping, who is returning from holidaying in countries known for luxury goods shopping, wouldn't you think their curiosity might be aroused. Or do you think they should all just bow and touch their forelocks? She is, as she herself reminds us, just a private person. She should be subject to the same laws, rules and processes as any other Thai citizen. But, as she is amply rich she can get different treatment of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baerboxer Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Don Muang still has immigration, if you can afford the private jet you can afford to have the immigration folk come on board and process you return. As to the luggage, if you take the time to read the latest post from the Thai media informs us that she had 15 pieces that were loaded into a private van. Please ensure brain is in operation prior to engaging mouth/keyboard. Ah, sarcasm, the lowest form of wit. Good to see you're as sharp as a sausage this morning. Nice to be able to afford a private jet - shame the farmers who were driven to suicide when her "vows" to pay them came to nothing didn't have a fraction of her clan's wealth. So you know immigration stamped her in and that customs were happy all was in order. 15 cases out, 15 cases in -all the contents the same. How wonderful the elite can travel so comfortably. So quaint. Ah, not knowing what sarcasm is and then quoting someone else's opinion of it. Priceless. There was no sarcasm at all in his post. So you know Immigration didn't process her? Do you get stamped in to your own country? Does a traveller have to bring back exactly the same number of pieces of luggage that they left with and ensure that the contents hadn't changed? Good to see your sausage-sharpness keeping us entertained. You are the world's expert on the English language, and believe how you read things is the only way they can be read? Or just simply defending another Shin apologist? The immigration process in my own country is different to Thailand - don't use arrival / departure cards, but passports checked and scanned. Nope - she can take out and bring in what she wants, - providing she doesn't break the laws on currency being carried, declares and pays any taxes due on goods so requiring and doesn't bring any banned items. I'm sure that's standard in most countries. Glad to see you are entertained - I've tried to keep it nice and simple for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Gives the Junta a bit of a difficult balancing act. If they are too zealous in their pursuit of her they will alienate her supporters whilst if they aren't forceful enough they will alienate their own supporters. And if she is found not guilty, then there this in effect means there was very little legal and political justification for the coup. How do you achieve political reconciliation whilst prosecuting the leader of the last democratically elected government? Bit of a paradox. jonclark.... go look at yourself in a mirror.. Yinluck was NOT democratically elected , she was bought into power so you could say corruption pure corruption got her into power. What do you think this military coup is all about.. Wake up.... Silly me, there was me thinking that Pheu Thai, with Yingluck clearly understood by just about every sentient being in Thailand as being the candidate for Prime Minister, won a clear parliamentary majority in an election which was agreed both internationally and domestically as being fair, (other than by Bakseeda obviously). Are we by any chance rewriting history to suit our current agenda? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
