PMO Minister pays respect to 1973 uprising victims



BANGKOK, 14 October 2015 (NNT) – The Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office, ML Panadda Diskul, today paid his respects to the victims of the 14 October 1973 uprising on the 42nd anniversary of the event.

Minister Panadda represented the Prime Minister and laid a wreath at the 14 October 1973 uprising memorial monument on Ratchadamnoen Avenue, and gave remarks in memory of the event.

He said the 1973 uprising by students represented their will and power in cherishing democracy, and that they longed for the country to have freedom through their bravery and sacrifice. He mentioned that they also believed that the Thai public should uphold democratic values, which include unity, sufficiency, while discouraging defamation and corruption.

The ceremony, which featured multi-faith services, and speeches by a senior politician and a political scientist, was held at Thammasat University in Bangkok. Some relatives of the uprising's victims also gathered to urge the government to expedite compensation payments to the victims’ families.

So what has changed , the Junta is still in control, even though they are not any where near as rough as their pre 73 models , but still in control, you are still harassing the students because you are so scared with a cocktail mix, students , social media and organization skills they may return to 73 , if they do , you have your self to blame, perhaps this time they wont be so generous in allowing Generals to be heads of Departments as a trade off and to save face , next time they may settle for properly qualified career Administrators.

An intelligent red-shirt would wonder why so many farang who grew up in real democracies and got good educations think that Thailand is much better off under the Junta than it was Pheu-Thai. And they are hopeful that the most free and fair elections ever held in Thailand will put something better in power than a bunch of dirty cronies taking the country to bankruptcy with corruption and unsustainable populist policies.

You obviously didn't - and by the level of nonsense your post I'm not surprised.

You do know it was over 40 years ago right ?. It's clear you must be a slow learner, but things are very different now.

'Representative of military junta pays his respects to students murdered by the military for opposing military dictatorship and who would in all probability hate his government and everything they stand for.'

What a fabulous way of urinating on their graves.

Ahhh EnglishJones, it not took you long to spice it up with your "red" phobia...

We clearly see how good the Junta is for the economy those days, you must rage to see they hired a thaksin guy at the post by the way...

You can also see that the corruption is part of the past, everybody is happy, the army goes in the countryside to teach to the farmers "the good way of thinking about politics".

You probably drink some tea at 5pm while counting the people facin the tough lese-majesty law, used 40 times more under the lovely General than the previous government.

You listen to the glamorous songs of the Burmese boys in Koh Tao, cry to the fairness in the Uyghur treatment and slide in a blissful gratitude with all those wonderful laws and equality in the Land Of Smile.

But really mate, you should try to lower your "red rage", people may start to think you have a problem with them

The irony, the irony.

But then, generals worldwide are not noted for their intellect.
