Alwyn Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 wow.. I thought I'd heard it all but this is beyond belief.. and he expects respect from the UN? Some things work and some things don't work. This military government isn't functioning in any way shape or form, it's bankrupting the country fiscally and internationally regarding respect. Will this particular General be made to foot the bill for all of the losses when he's out of power (IF that ever happens of course)? He's picked a number out of the air and then says he doesn't know what the amount will be. Are there still people here who believe these actions are not politically motivated?

lostoday Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 General elections were held in Thailand on 6 February 2005. With a turnout of 60.7 percent, the Thai Rak Thai Party (Thais Love Thais Party) of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra won a landslide victory. Out of 500 seats in the House of Representatives, Thaksin's party won 375 seats. 2006 his party was outlawed and he was barred from political activity. Do you remember why a party with such a big win had to call elections for 14 months later? Do you remember the blatant abuses of office, including the B9 billion loan from KTB, and the illegal attempts to force a result from the 2006 election which saw the party banned? Banned by the minority opposition. Ya I remember that. I thoroughly understand. If you can't win at the polls what's a fellow to do? Do you remember the last time that Thaksin family lost an election? It's slipped my mind. 'Can't win at the polls', well how about 'can't get an amnesty through parliament' so resort to nasty tactics at 3:00 am in the morning when the good people of Thailand are asleep to try to push a vote through and use other peoples voting cards and totally block the opposition from speaking in parliament, which they are fully entitled to do. But they got caught, again. So? Have an election and get someone better. Not like corruption and lying politicians don't exist in the West. I did not have sex with that woman and I'm not a crook.

halloween Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Carry on ignoring all the undercurrents, such Mark Kent's speech that so riled Prayuth. If Yingluck was thrown in prison, then the support would become specific enough. Besides, the Thai people - you know, the ones who used to have a vote before they were forcibly disenfranchised - wouldn't like it one bit. But hey, carry on. The fascists are hurtling downhill into a brick wall as is the nature of fascism. Go ahead and slam your foot on the accelerator. Lock her up and see what happens. Why is it that red apologists continue to threaten widespread violence unless they get what they want, yet in most instances where someone is caught it turns out they were paid - mercenary rather than political motivation?

gemguy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hmmmmm.....OK....now that is one hefty fine if ever there was. Am I missing something here because realistically where would they obtain that amount of money paid by the 3 of them ( they said 3 of them correct ) to immediately pay out that amount of money??? I guess they will opt for a prison sentence as surely they will not be paying that amount of money any time soon. I would rather see them go to prison anyhow as the money collected will go where and to whom???/ Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemguy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Perhaps this is an indication that Thailand will never ever have elections agian and the military plan to maintain strict control forever. Good. I hope they do. Hmmmm Have you not heard the saying: "Be careful what you wish for" They may exercise strict and possibly harsh control on foreigners, such as yourself, one day, under Military rule. It could happen ...oh yes indeed ..it could happen one day. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's not possible to put YL in prison - she would instantly become a martyr like Aung San Suu Kyi and the entire world would come down on Thailand. The intent of this ridiculous court case and beyond-ridiculous penalty is presumably to force YL into exile, then they will have eradicated the opposition, avoided any messy internal dealings, and can start screaming 'criminal fugitive' again. You are not serious are you? Do you think any government, embassy, diplomat, NGO, or sensible person would put Yingluck in the same class as Aung San Suu Kyi? Have you heard about any of them specifically supporting Yingluck? If you do, then you really are beyond help. We don't know - she hasn't been put in jail yet. If she does become a martyr, as did Aung San Suu Kyi,, it will be as a result of the Juntas venal stupidity. I prefer to to wait and see, rather than accept your your foam flecked expostulations.

Trouble Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Seems a little ridiculous to me and just playing along with the junta's plans. Where is the real investigative efforts to see who profited from this scheme track them down and prosecute the profiteers. There has been no evidence that Yingluck actually put money in the bank over the scheme. So evidently the powers at be are trying to hold politicians responsible for failed programs when in fact they may have not criminally profited from such a scheme. Maybe the general better be careful as isn't it possible he could find himself in the same boat at a later date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following your line of thinking (or perhaps not) then every person who is put in jail for breaking the the law therefore is a martyr. Just because you and many others think that it is a bad law is irrelevant. If nobody obeyed or complied with any laws then you have anarchy. It is not possible to pick and choose which laws to obey or not nor is it possible to accept only the court verdicts that you like and ignore the ones you don't like. That was also a trait of the PTP of which Yingluck was the PM. Perhaps she still believes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The international community and most of the posters on here who do not support the Shins want to see democracy in Thailand. But real democracy which is enforced by a real rule of law, applied to all fair and square. Pretending anyone who doesn't support the Shins is a fascist is simply like pretending the Shin are remotely interested in democracy, law and justice or a fair society i.e pretense. But if it makes you happy to believe the brainless bimbo puppet used by her criminal brother whose to scared to face the courts was a real PM then you can keep pretending.

bamukloy Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 So i guess for such a big fine of compensation they must have proof of exactly where any missing money from the rice scheme might have went? Doesnt sound like they have any real means of extracting the money out of her anyway.

I am sure what they are really doing is just trying to pressurise the Shins to back off away from politics.

Then the boys will find out which side the young Issan men in uniform are really on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
