Pheu Thai accuses govt of targeting Yingluck over rice scheme

What do you expect from pt?

They would say that, wouldn't they?

As for Yingluck actively allowing corruption, (<deleted>) , considering that she would know that their would be people coming after her if their was any chance what so-ever to link her with corruption that she would not just allow corruption to go on.

More accurate would be the state prove that she actively allowed it to happen and took NO action in trying to prevent it, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

Reason being all she has to do is come up with just one mention in the meetings minuets were she say's if there is corruption then we need to do something about if.

<snip>

Since the chairperson (allegedly) never attended any of the meetings, of the rice-scheme committee which she was chairing, it would be a bit difficult to find any mention of her commenting in the committee-minutes, now wouldn't it ?

The fact remains that, ignoring all warnings of corruption, the PM pressed blindly on, and is now paying the price for her negligence, and for trusting the wrong people.

The damage caused to the Thai rice-growing industry continues to mount, there was a serious loss (partly due to corruption & partly to negligence) to the public-purse, one can only hope that the voters remember all this when they next get a chance to vote, and that they're able to learn from experience.

Meanwhile PTP seem surprised, or even indignant, that the then-PM is being blamed for the mess, which happened on her/their watch. If only that amnesty-bill had been passed, but it didn't !

And you forget the 3Trillion Baht (3,000,000,000,000) loans the YS 'government' attempted to push through, outside the State expenditures' budget, to spend without any 'democratical'(!) control, in order to be able to go on buying off North and North-East, with rice scams and other 'populist' projects, while probably keeping the usual 30% of it as pocket money...

Pheu Thai claimed that the Abhisit government had caused losses to the state from its rice subsidy scheme and the Prayut government had caused Bt4 billion in losses from rubber deals with the Chinese government but no action was taken.

that's a very good point. Also there will be wasted money for rubber farmers and fishermen too

If Phua Thai really cared for Yingluck they would have stopped her making herself head of the rice committee, unless of course they considered her knowledge of farmed grains and commodity trading to be up to scratch, which is possible. Anything is possible for them. The dozens of warnings that almost a trillion baht had been trousered by bent reds could have been construed by Phua Thai that things were not running so smoothly and Yingluck would be held accountable?

I notice Nutthawut and Arisman been silent on this matter - after being caught involved in the fraud.

Absolutely amazing. You are busily condemning Yingluck, but blindly fail to notice the millions of bht lost by both the Prayuth govt and the losses under Abisit, or the theft of land by Suthep. Talk about being "one eyed" you take the cake !

It is called "sticking to the subject". As opposed to throwing up irrelevant strawman arguments. You should try it.

All the supporters of Prayuth and the Dems have put on their Rose tinted sunglasses and flaked out in the sun, safe in the belief that Prayuth, Abisit and most of all Khun Suthep have their stupid misguided welfare at heart .... Fools !
