Ex-MP to file complaint against police chief
THE SUNDAY NATION

BANGKOK: -- A Democrat Party politician says he will petition the anti-graft agency this week over the national police chief's failure to act on a panel's recommendation that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra be stripped of his police rank.

Watchara Phetthong, a former Democrat MP, said that he would ask the National Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate General Somyot Poompanmoung for possible negligence of duty. He said it seemed the police chief was dragging his feet.

The police panel had found Thaksin should lose his rank of lieutenant colonel after he was handed a jail term, citing Royal Thai Police regulations.

"Somyot is not taking action over revoking Thaksin's police rank. But instead he is publicly supporting the legalisation of casinos," Watchara said.

My question is what does one have to do with the other?

[greenchair]

Seriously.

Have they nothing better to do

than talk about me?

Only because he keeps drawing attention to himself. The worst thing that could happen to Thaksin is that he becomes irrelevant; so he makes controversial statements to the international press, and has his lackeys in Thailand stir up trouble.

Thaksin don't need lackeys to stir up trouble, as long as the paranoid junta are stupid enough to bring him back in the limelight once a week!!

So like it or not, Mr T is still very relevant in Thai politics..................

and some are not

its a matter of karma not money

[NongKhaiKid]

I wouldn't say the police chief has dragged his feet, he hasn't even moved them on this issue.

He does have a lot on his mind of course with retirement around the corner and perhaps his next ' career ' is weighing heavily on his mind as is managing his assets portfolio and avoiding everything else that looks like a major decision.

Stripping Mr. T's honorary rank should have been one of the easiest things he would have ever had to deal with yet he's done everything possible to avoid doing it and the reason, so far, can only be conjecture but the picture may become clearer after he's retired and he ... ?

No need for me to point out that a certain person was wrong. Very, very wrong.

A waste of time the ex-MP filing a complaint against the police chief. He will just shrug it off like everything else that confronts him.

The bum licking police chief has made it clear to all who he is loyal to. The Skype account of Thaksin must have been working overtime of late.

I cannot wait for the junta to call it quits and elections are held, then you will see Thaksin himself working overtime, illegally managing the latest version of his political party.

Unless.............as a parting note the junta bans the PTP and anyone associated with it, including anyone with the name Shinawatra.

That will throw a big spanner in the works !

I've been expecting the banning of PTP and all its members for a while now, but I'm sure it will happen before any elections are scheduled.

[dru2]

My question is what does one have to do with the other?

Both indicate dubious morality.

[Manbing]

Good decision

The police chief is an agent of the legal dept.

He doesn't dictate who should and shouldn't be prosecuted or punished.

Of course in LoS, things don't work that way. Ex-pm making charges?

Why does this smell like a carefully planned act in a prescripted plot?

BINGO

Wonderful excuse to disrespect the majorities wishes at the next election if they don't go the way of the shins...

Of course the contempt they showed the majority for 3 years would never be the reason.

The police chief brought down a few high ranking police officers for running corruption empires last year. And speaking of excuses the red apologists denounced him and Paryut by saying these actions were "token arrests" or "part of a bigger plan" all because they could not face the fact the Junta were proving them wrong with their positive "can do" attitude at stamping out corruption.

So Somyot was a tool of the Junta last year according to the reds, but is to be respected this year according to the reds. Confused bunch who change their stance depending on what Somyot is currently doing.

Well I still say Somyot is admirable and did the right thing last year (proving the red apologists wrong....yes, yes you have excuses).

Democracy is being followed here through the proper legal channels and we must respect the process and let the law decide. If ithe decision goes against what I think it should be I will not throw crap at the judge, burn effigies of the judge or release the judges families home addresses. I will respect the decision.

Thank god those dark days of disrespect for democracy are over.

I f the party which, in various incarnations, has won every election for the last 15 years is prevented from taking part in the next election, it rather condemns said election to be somewhat irrelevant.

If you want to see how fast these guys can really move, give Casinos the green light.

They'll move with lightning speed to set them up and grab the cash!

[ChrisY1]

Could TS be behind this sudden push for casinos.....?

Does Somyot have any past interactions with Mr. T?

[gamini]

why should they need a bogeyman when they are doing a great job?

Good to see you get that "plug" in JAG, although I would not be too quick to make excuses for their demise. Have a look at their rap sheet, over the last decade, and tell me they don't deserve to be disbanded.

And the Democrats are no better, their track record is abysmal.

There are plenty of other parties out there, or are you saying they are not capable of governing ? Is the Shin regime the only ones who can do the job ?

If so it means dark days ahead for Thailand.

[JAG]

Not a plug, I merely observed that if they are prevented from participating it rather invalidates the election, given their level of electoral support.

I made no reference to "rap sheets", any of the Shinawatra family, or the Democrats. I said nothing about anyone else not being capable of governing.

As is often the case you read more into a post, in order to justify giving vent to your obviously very strongly held beliefs. The question remains, why should Pheu Thai not be allowed to take part? If they are as bad as you claim, then the Thai electorate can decide.

You from UK too amazing what is a policemans job follow the law is military the law no so what you think he is lazy and that's why he managed it so far

No you probably have many other explanation of why but you are below level and even lower than low intelligence as you except military rule in your statement what a foul you are

It's all about the law not follow when changed in to own advantage

I don't remember saying you did ! I made those comments without any of your help. So I think it is you who tends to - "read more into a post, in order to justify giving vent to your obviously very strongly held beliefs". Perhaps you could try reading my post a little more carefully in future before responding.

.................."The question remains, why should Pheu Thai not be allowed to take part?".....................

You have not been paying attention. They are as crooked as a dog's hind leg and don't deserve to take place in chook raffle, let mind an election.

The Democrat party is Thailand's oldest party, and has had decades to perfect the art of corruption. The party is also full of lawyers, who control one of the dirtiest legal systems in the world. I know from personal experience.

,Even worse it is the party of the Poison Dwarf who is currently pretending to be a monk in order to avoid arrest, even though he has blood on his hands. Shame on the Abbot who is sheltering him.

If you want to really learn the art of corruption, study the career of this low life.
