Popular Post Pomthai Posted March 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) In the land of very little consideration whatsoever, they choose to consider this lol. Surely its one of the few things that doesn't need much in the way of cognitive function to determine that "Yes indeed, financing terrorism should be illegal."

Strangebrew Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thainess at it's best no wonder Why I love Thailand a laugh a minute here. Here is a clue on the haze problem get those mudhuts to mulch rather than burn those rice fields. That alone would help solve two issues water shortage and air pollution.

Costas2008 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yes, about time. Certain individuals and ex politicians used to finance the red terrorists to bring havoc in this country and even kill innocent people. And all this for their own benefit. About time they implement a law against them and throw them to prison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whybother Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The problem with this proposed law is the definition of terrorism. Anyone donating money to ANY of the protest groups in Thailand over the last 10 years could fall foul of this law. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneday Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) "Cabinet to consider law against financing of terrorism" Whoops! Looks like the reporter meant to say TOURISM and not TERRORISM or maybe not. "...The cabinet will consider several important draft laws today. They include legislations against terrorist financing and money laundering and other laws regarding advance buying of farm products, the improvement of organizational structure of various ministries and waste management of discarded electronic appliances..." I can't make any sense out of why the terms terrorism and money laundering have anything to do with advance buying of farm products and the rest of this paragraph. I believe there was a lot left out of this article that is very much needed for a far better explanation. What horrible reporting.

Indeed, witness how the "Patriot" Act is facilitating the transformation of the USA into a fascist police state.

ezzra Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 What's the Thai definitions of terrorism I wonder? would it be any different from the universally know terms or would it be like, 'yeah he's a terrorist but we will forgive and forget for the sake of reconciliations the our country' or, 'he's not a professional terrorist, so that doesn't count' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 "consider adopting a new law that would prohibit terrorist financing." Some might consider a military organization that uses its armed might, secret retention centers, and martial law to threaten and subvert people's rights and liberties as a terrorist organization. It would be interesting to see the Thai military cut-off from the nation's treasury that it uses like a personal ATM. While people complain about loss of income, poverty, high cost of education, and high household debts, the military increases its annual funding while some of its elite officers draw double and triple salaries as both officers, Junta members, and government officials. A happy soldier is a well-paid soldier - Prayut knows who to take care of first and its not 60 million Thais. The Thai military has not only a lot of happy soldiers but a lot of wealthy flag officers. The rest of the 60 million Thais can just march in goose step to HE who has appointed himself as their leader and moral teacher. Failure is not allowed.

PM Prayut is taking care of all Thais, except maybe the one Ms. Yingluck tried to take care of as number one. Rumour has it our dear criminal fugitive is still plotting to grap his country back so he can again get his government and his cabinet to squeeze a few more Baht out of the country like a Scrooge-like businessman.

Do you have any proof of this triple salary claim, or are you spouting red propaganda? Was Yingluk paid multiple salaries as MP, PM, MoD and Chair of the Rice Policy Committee, at least 2 of which positions she totally ignored?
