Red shirts turn out in large numbers to receive Apiwan's body

[fab4]

The fact that this many people pitched prove that the reds are just waiting under the bed.

Why go to the Philippines for medical treatment?

To avoid a Lese Majeste charge over a speech in January 2011. The UDD aren't just going to go away.

Just goes to show they are still there and gagging them and forcing them not have a voice will do nothing to improve the situation in Thailand even if this coup lasts 5 years they will still be there waiting until its safe to open their mouthes and have their god given right to voice their opinions without the fear of the gun.

They have no fear of guns - or bombs - they seem to embrace their use with gusto - especially on children.

A great loss, he was one of the great leaders who tirelessly led the fight for freedom and democracy. My wife and her family are also attending the funeral rites, I pray the Junta will keep their snouts out of this but highly unlikely RIP Apiwan, the fight will go on.

And hopefully you can afford the corpse of Mr T the same honour in the not too distant future.

Then finally Thailand may start the healing process it so dearly deserves.

Jatuporn assured the gathering and funeral rites would be non-political and we all know what a fine, truthful and upstanding pillar of society he is.

Does anyone really believe with so many reds and PTP together there will not be whispering about forbidden topics ?

Mind you it's probably the lesser of two evils considering what might have happened has the govt said no reception committee and no funeral rites .

Even if "whispering about forbidden topics" took place ( a fanciful, fearful assumption) do you really think the security of the Nation would be at stake? The spectre of Lord Valdemort na Dubai striking fear into the hearts of honest god fearing people.......................good grief .

If only it were all as simple as young Harry and Voldemort.

I have a news source in hell and she's reporting that he has indeed arrived and is somewhat confused by by his surroundings. According to this confidential source he was heard violently protesting that "This is not Dubai!"

Some posters simply don't know,when it is time to shut up!

Save your anti-red mantras for another thread.

This is about recieving the body of a long time friend and colleague, not about political colours!

One should always respect the dead, kind of like red shirts cheering the deaths of children, publicly, on stage.

A great reception for funeral of a criminal suspect. This reflect the real mind of UDD, a criminal organisation

he was charged after the coup for LM

Call LM 'criminal' if you like, but it is a draconian law that is mainly used to persecute political rivals.

A great reception for funeral of a criminal suspect. This reflect the real mind of UDD, a criminal organisation

And what crime was he suspected of??

No matter what political colour, I think most people here will agree that the actual law is a little outdated?

Outdated? The law should simply be repealed.

Terrorist groups with political affiliation rarely "just go way". Like vermin.

Why didn't he chose to stay and fight in court? Oh yes, all the courts, justice system and "establishment" are biased against those freedom fighting democracy loving people's champions from the latest Thakisn owned and controlled political vehicle.

Amazing how many foreigners think they have some kind of in built right to say what other countries laws should be.

Next it will be advocating breaking a law just because they personally don't like it. Of course, they are the arbiter of all that's fair and just. Self appointed of course.

for LM, that is actually true. The courts are biased. Almost no one gets bail. No one is ever found to be innocent of LM - the best case scenario is that the LM case is dropped. There are no stats on this because the charges are not officially dropped, the case is just quietly put on hold.

Also, since he was charged after the coup, his LM case would have gone before a military court. Fair? He probably did not think so. Neither do I.

So what exactly / specifically did this great leader contribute to the development of Thailand for all Thais?

First, I have a strong desire for social justice around the globe and as a human, I have the right to push for the human rights of others.

More to this specific point, this law affects me as an individual and it also directly impacts my family. My kids must understand that they cannot say or do certain things because in Thailand free-thinking and more importantly an honest exchange of ideas is quite literally against the law.

So you might find it amazing that I actually do have a right to say what should be done about LM in Thailand. But if you thought about it a bit longer, then maybe you would not be so surprised to see that it is actually the case.

his own version of "freedom and democracy" and we all know what that was.

"Following Sanoh's resignation from Thai Rak Thai, Apiwan gravitated towards Thaksin Shinawatra's inner circle."

Your lesson on democracy should have been put in the proper topic, where you defended a Minister of Education who in his new bright education for Thailand quoted a criminal fugitve as part of his philosophy on which the policy was based. It would seem that's the way to go, at least for you.

Now luckily as a human you claim the right to push for other peoples rights as you see them. Democratically of course.

Anyway, we pay respect to k. Apiwan. he was only 65 years of age. I hope his family didn't get upset by being pushed out of the way by those trying to make political coin out of his death.

[rubl]

Wonder if Yingluck will be prevented from attending this one?

With k. Apiwan having moved to Thaksin's inner circle I would assume Ms. Yingluck also knows him. Furthermore he was a fellow Pheu Thai member and MP.

Mind you, k. Apiwan's family might want a quiet funeral ceremony without people trying to make political coin and spoil or ruin these last rememberances.

It's a shame they can not receive the body of their friend without the Army interfering.

yes a crying shame

Perhaps the police and army were there to facilitate the gathering and make sure there was as little disruption to the International airport and it's customers as possible - just a wild guess

That is what the police are for. Not the Army. Army needs to get back to their barracks. So you guess wrong.

No this is a case of the Army, because they control the airport security already for decades.....

Yet again rubl plugs away his off topic message whilst maintaining innocence with a brief mention of the subject of the thread at the end - even then he manages to accuse others of "making political coin out of his death" whilst doing exactly that himself with his implication.

Hypocrisy, thy name is rubl.

It's the back-up hub of medical tourism in SE Asia.... for those facing multiple indictments in the forerunner hub of medical tourism in SE Asia.

A great reception for funeral of a criminal suspect. This reflect the real mind of UDD, a criminal organisation

he was charged after the coup for LM

Go further back in his history for additional, unadjudicated, non-LM criminal charges.
