rubl Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I can see his concerns... His sister is put on trial for shady motives while Suthep who clearly sabotaged previous elections is not in the Jail.. Interesting, you seem to suggest that when something is so clear no trial is needed. Doesn't that mean that Ms. Yingluck with her 700 billion Baht losing self-financing scheme and televised statement in parliament to be in charge should already be in jail as well?

rubl Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The Thai Judicial system is broken beyond repair it needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. Its hurting the population and the country's economic growth. No one in the world trusts it to do its job fairly. Pray tell me who these "no one in the World" are apart from you ? Furthermore could you elaborate on the 'hurting population and countries economical growth'? It almost seems you are in favour of the 'self-financing' RPPS which lost 700 billion Baht, but which according to Ms. Yingluck reached the 'right' people.

rubl Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Did Thaksin "worry" when the Isaan farmers were not getting parid from his sister's rice scheme? yes True, true. When the BAAC told the Yingluck Administration a few times in September/November 2013 that the government needed to find additional reservations for the RPPS as soon as possible, Thaksin was worried. His (sisters) government was going through the last modifications of his amnesty law. Nail biting time of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever back room deal needs to be made . . . make it and get on with it. Disagree. There are too many back room deals and amnesties already in Thai political history. What is needed is open and fair trials based on evidence. If she or any other politician is found not guilty, fine. However, there has to be a trial if there is a case to answer, if there is to be any progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wombat6 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Good to see the Thaksin obsessed in good voice. Without question, Yingluck will not get a fair trial and whilst you continue with your mindless admiration of General P, the rest if us can see the sham it is. Speak for yourself...I don't agree with your red slanted view and I would suggest that you read more of the comments on this forum and you may realise that "red" supporters are in a minority.

waza Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thaksin worried his sister won’t get fair trialHe wasnt so worried when he forced her into that situation....... Yingluck told the commander she was tired of the political tension and asked for his recommendation. Prayuth declined to offer suggestions and said it was her call to make any decision. If anything untoward happened, it would be the prime minister's responsibility.......Yingluck later called a meeting with Pheu Thai Party executives and talked via Skype with Thaksin, who said the Constitution did not allow her to resign, according to the sources. If she did resign, the protesters would ask the court to rule that she had violated the Penal Code's Article 157, which punishes officials who abandon their duty. She would face a jail term, he warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomacht8 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 That is life.The judges are afraid now to accept filled cake boxes.The rules have changed a bit.The taxpayers ask now more and more actually: Where's the money?Is that unfair?The government funds belongs to the people, and the politicians and civil servants must learn to report thereon.So ask the people responsible for the whereabouts of the money has nothing to do with unfairness.Hopefully, they also question the little accountants who reported the irregularities very early.Thereafter, they were indeed made quickly silenced.Hopefully they also track the Nattawut rice transports.Hopefully the Thai population does not give up, to ask about the whereabouts of the money.And I still want to know who has so easily issued 500 million baht cash checks in the government / administration.An neutral asset verification of all those involved should be made as quickly as possible.Let's see how much money can be recovered.For the state, for the people, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, like me you might think a more correct charge would have been "criminally defrauding the Nation". When considering that the total moneys "lost" through the rice scam, divided by the amount of eligible participating farmers, comes to an amount lost per farmer greater than the cost of a brand new Ferrari, well, you can't help smell a rat really! I wonder how popular Thaksin would be if he had used taxpayers money to buy every poor(but not very poor as the very poor were not eligible to join the scam) farmer a brand new Ferrari? And to think some forumers claim that no money is missing and all charges should be dropped. Yaowapa's role in the whole scam should be uncovered shortly. Was it not accepted that Yaowapa was the onshore architect of the scam and had inserted her sock puppets to be the scam's leaders. Boonsong Teriyapirom in particular who was elevated to commerce minister to do her bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
