And one was a former police officer how many police officers do we know that have millions or even billions, just thought I'd ask.

Obviously feed at the trough at the same rate !

Poor Nattawut, the terrorism business has fallen off, no more rotten rice to shift from warehouse to warehouse. What is an out of work arsonist to do? Even worse, what will he do when he finally has to "take responsibility" for his own actions, and the actions of the people he incited to riot?

It might be a lucky number

[slapout]

where is the complete list recorded so the public can access it? i suspect the figures of assets have about as much credability as did the rice scam figures when this group were running/ plundering the country. chalerm could not even give a straight answer as to owership of a couple high priced vehicles, parked at his housing compound nor the status of their tax payment. where is old plod's figures, he has to have been one of the most successful civil servents in the history of the world in his knack at accumulating vast sums of money.

[Tatsujin]

More joke numbers, same as TAT's tourist figures.

[berybert]

I tend not to talk about Thai politics as I don't really understand it.

But I can see why everyone wants to get involved in it. What a way to make money. Second only to being in the Police force.

[Cuchulainn]

Telling porkies.................................again.

Yawn.

[SoFarAndNear]

What a nonsense article. " Abhisit Vejjajiva and his family" Are the assets in the article all include with family members or just Abhisit? And who is exaclty the family? mother, father, sisters, children, uncles.... Yingluck has really 600mio assets only on her own?!

I think this country can only uproot out its political instability if it is not only govern by the upper 1% ..!!

Not a job for a Tuk Tuk driver.

Look at most countries and name me a poor politician, not saying all countries are corrupt but usually politicians are rich.

But most countries defence and police forces are not in it for the money. You would much rather be a General here and not have to justify where your fortune came from.

[Fat Haggis]

only 11 million baht richer, pretty poor considering a lowly "chosen" Police General was able to have what? 300,000,000 baht go into shares that still didn't put him into debt.

The interest alone of her assets would be a lot more than 11 million baht ?

[stickyrice2000]

11 millions only? Man, I would make better use of that 617 mils to make more money. When is the good junta going to declare their assets to the public?

[z42]

It's absolutely disgusting how mere civil servants can supposedly accumulate millions of dollars worth of assets in a country where the pay scales would simply take hundreds of years to even begin to save those types of numbers. Rotten to the core

I hope you're also classing Police and Military as civil servants too?

Pray tell, who would those 'current' incumbents be ?

They did last October.

[rametindallas]

Yaowapa Wongsawat and Chalerm had exactly the same amount of net assets... to the last baht... really?

They share the same accountant?

[tomacht8]

These are the declared assets.

Which institution checks the consistency, accuracy and traceability of the declared numbers now on?
Can it be that this do not exist?

[tomacht8]

Yaowapa Wongsawat and Chalerm had exactly the same amount of net assets... to the last baht... really?

Unusual.

Here an immediate second review would make sense.

Are the tax authorities really that blind?

[Xircal]

Now, now, you know as well as I do that it's illegal to criticize the junta.

Former deputy prime minister Pol Capt Chalerm Yubamrung had 123,861,586 net assets, while former Pheu Thai party spokesman Mr Prompong Nopparit had 16,345,227 baht.

Both declare to have 123,861,586 Baht as net assets?

Same Same?

Well thank you for your kind words.

Mind you, I fail to see what those have to do with my question. Furthermore I'm still waiting for an answer on who these 'incumbents' are. Some may have missed this but the NLA, the cabinet members and even NRC/CDC members have submitted asset declarations. The NACC has reported on them as well.

There was no need for her to bother her brother for money, she could easily have asked his gardener for cash.

[zaphod reborn]

Shouldn't receiving money from a convicted fugitive also be grounds for impeachment? Does the anti-money laundering commission just let Thaksin and Yingluck slide on this? Amazing Thailand!
