EnglishJohn Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I have no idea why they seem to be so obsessed with this. Obviously no sleeping dogs saying in Thailand Which dog do you think is sleeping ?. Because the one in Dubai certainly isn't. This loss of face will have him fuming over his coffee in the hotel restaurant. We've all been reading the red-shirt lunatics here telling us that their communist revolution is coming soon : they are being spoon-fed that line from somewhere. I wonder if Prayuth is trying to nudge Thaksin into making his move while the Junta are still in power and the tomatoes in the police will not be able to shield them.

EnglishJohn Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 <snip> Maybe the reason is that Thaksin has never left. He still controls all his cronies : the 310:0 amnesty disgrace proved that beyond doubt. The question you SHOULD be asking is whether Thailand would get better with Thaksin removed from the picture entirely. There would be some disorder while all the greedy lackies fought in the power vacuum but things would settle back down to the average developing-world, corrupt Asian country instead of this ridiculous situation.

Oziex1 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Visanu Kruea-ngam said Thaksin could sue the Royal National Police Office for stripping him of the police rank but could not take legal action against the Council of State because the council merely gave legal advice to the government. Good plan, as long as it includes mandatory attendance by the complainant when the suit is filed. That will be the end of that, the coward won't show. What a mixed up dysfunctional legal system, totally geared for the rich and their face problems. They fear a being sued by the former PM, while well heeled, connected murderers walk and it hardly raises and eyebrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 This is all good for Thailand another plus for the Junta, this is now listed along side of the Taxi clean up , the lottery price , clean the beaches , bike paths , the priorities allocated just astound those in the west and even Russia is impressed, now if they only confined their efforts to more worthy causes instead of Ars! licking , Thailand just might move forward.

Toscano Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 This decision to strip Thaksin of his police Lt. Col. rank when he is long retired , can only be seen as trivial , petty , spiteful and vindictive !!! There is No legal precendent for stripping a long retired police officer of his rank . The chief of police cannot permit it without a change in the law ; which he will not seek as it would set a precedent that would affect every retired police officer . Serving police officers can be stripped of rank but not retired ones . There might be some point in stripping Thaksin of rank if he relied upon a police pension ; but he is a very rich man and has no need of a police pension , nor even the rank . When the PM professes to wish to be seen as even handed and trying to promote peace , harmony and happiness in Thailand , this determined decision on the PMs part is likely to have the opposite effect . It should be remembered that a considerable majority of Thai citizens are Thaksin supporters ; this decision by the PM to strip Thaksin of rank will only arouse disrespect and contemp among those people . Taking further and further steps to erredicate the spectre of Thaksin in Thailand will in the view of many people only enhance Thaksins image .

bamnutsak Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 What is the point of this charade? For the ultra-rightists (Suthep, PDRC), who sponsored the Coup, this was one of the key goals. They view this hugely symbolic gesture as defeating the politics of the masses and restoring the politics of the "few". Now someone needs to forward it for Royal Endorsement and Gazetting. As long as it is not viewed as "political", and can be couched as "legal", then it should be a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starky Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The case isn't over at all and for all the bluff and bs, he was awarded his rank by royal decree and nothing but a royal decree will remove it. I presume that you can read? go back and read Dear Generals quote again "He stated the Royal Thai Police would soon forward the revocation proposal to the Royal Household for approval, in order to officially strip Mr. Thaksin of his police rank." so its up to the thai police now [/quote Yes I can, did you read what you quoted? What happens pray tell if the Royal Household doesn't approve it? Not up to the police at all if they have to ask for Royal approval now is it.

Songlaw Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Has anyone actually any evidence of him rejecting it? He doesnt care, no one cares, exept dear pm. For someone who wants his name forgotten the pm is doing his best to.keep it in the limelight As a kid running around with your buddies, ever come across something dangerous, that looked like it might be sleeping, or perhaps even dead? Ask yourself why was it always your group's equivalent of the village idiot that thought it wise to poke it incessantly with a stick? And this guy is a trained tactician? Oh boy.

Transporter Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Even his son said something anout "just remove his rank." It carries no weight at all. Having said that, let's just see how long it takes to remove his rank. The case is not over. I am pretty sure of that. Surely his Police rank is not worldwide anyway? He is a fugitive not a serving Police officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Pol Lt-Gen Prawuth Thavornsiri, the assistant national police chief and spokesman of the RNPO, said the police office would have to check with the human resources department first about how to move next as the case was unprecedented. Yes, let's now refer the case to the low ranking civil servants in the human resources dept...I'm sure those folks will quickly determine the next step to take in this high profile case. Besides, what may be unprecedented is any police officer every being stripped of rank. And more than a few more deserve the same treatment. Surely conviction of a crime (almost any crime, moderately serious) is enough, without resorting to the obvious fact that he was also a fugtive from Thai justice. And yes, all you red-shirt apologists, he was! Resoundingly so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
