Lite Beer Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Suthep Bestows Decoration On Top Surat Thani Cop By Khaosod Eng. SURAT THANI – The deputy commander of the Surat Thani police force has reportedly admitted to receiving a police decoration from the leader of the former anti-government movement, Suthep Thaugsuban.In a photograph that went viral on the internet this week, Suthep can be seen bestowing the rank of deputy commander to Pol.Maj.Gen. Abhichart Boonsriroj, who was wearing a full uniform for the honour.Suthep, the former Deputy Prime Minister who quit his post as a Democrat MP to lead six months of protests against the elected government last year, was ordained as a Buddhist monk shortly after the military staged a coup on 22 May 2014.A number of Redshirts, who supported the former government, have criticised the photo on social media and accused Pol.Maj.Gen. Abhichart of displaying a political bias by giving the decorating honour to the hardcore Yellowshirt activist.

Popular Post Thailand Posted November 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2014 i can only guess he will be the next moved to inactive post No reason for that to happen. Suthep is a major part of the establishment, instigator of stage one of the downfall of the previous elected government and admitted collusion with the current incumbents to achieve the current state of affairs. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First let me say that I admired his courage for standing on the platform day after day when under attack. Now I think I have to say that he is one of the most corrupt, self centered, evil people in Thailand and who really gives a sh#t what he does. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post animatic Posted November 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Suthep for many years has been the head man of Surat Thani Province. His national doings were always devolving from his position as a MP for Surat, and as a top leader for a long time of the south west of Thailand. For a Surat top cop, he couldn't find someone with better credentials, face or power to pin on his award. And neither of them could give a rat's patootie about what the reds think of this.

rickirs Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I have no issue with a Buddhist monk bestowing an honorable decoration on this policeman. Thailand is a Buddhist State whose Head of State must be Buddhist. However, the choice of novice Suthrep as the presenter is problematic given the political and violent taints that follow him. He is still under arraignment for the criminal charge of sedition. There are more respected and senior practioners of Buddhism who have been dedicated to the faith who bear no political or violent taints who could have been called to perform this ceremony. Whether intentional or not, Suthep's presence is a political statement. If this event goes without government comment, it will further question the sincerity of NCPO claimed nuetrality in its political reforms. "Army commander General Prayuth Chan-ocha insists on a neutral stance on the current political situation, saying the Army must always stay neutral in politics while continuing to maintain peace and social order ..." - Army spokesman, The Nation 2013-12-17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
