rooster59 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Yingluck is politically victimised: BoonsongBANGKOK: The exercise of Article 44 to protect all officials and organisations involved in the rice-pledging scheme is a proof that former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra and the scheme are political victims, said former commerce minister Boonsong Teriyapirom. In his post on personal Facebook page, Boonsong said he was sadden to see Yingluck defend herself in the court.He said that Yingluck had no direct responsibility in the scheme. Though it was a government policy, it was carried out by a sub-committee.He insisted that Guangdong Stationary & Sporting Goods Import & Export Corp and Hainan Grain and Oil Industrial Trading Co, which purchased rice under government-government deals, were considered part of the Chinese government as they were 100 per cent owned by the government. They enjoy the same status as Guangxi Mingyang Biochemical Science & Technology which bought tapioca flour under a G2G deal with the Abhisit government in 2000 and China Hainan Rubber Industry Group Co which struck a similar deal for Thai rubber during the Prayut administration.The tapioca flour and rubber deals "were conducted in the same way as the rice deals struck during theYingluck administration. The only difference is the deals did not face collusion charges from the NACC(National Anti-Corruption Commission)", Boonsong said.Boonsong also countered the charges that the stockpiles were slowly released/or released below cost, leading to huge losses. "Rice is the commodity that naturally degrades. As such, selling the commodity below the price paid out to farmers is normal. This is also normal during the Abhisit or Prayut governments."He also noted that warehouse operators are legally responsible for missing stockpiles or degradation. Demanding Yingluck or others to take responsibility is thus politically motivated, he said."The exercise of Article 44 to protect all individuals and organisations tasked to handle this matter is a proof that the rice-pledging scheme is used as a political tool to ruin Yingluck and Pheu Thai Party."Boonsong now stands trial against charges that while in office, he sold rice to ghost companies.

bangrak Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 And another bucketfull of 'white lies' from Mr Boonsong, shamelessly negating evidences and re-arranging parts of the truth to convince ill-informed and manipulated people. IMO part of a well-organised campaign attempting to protect the Shins' wealth! Let's just hope it will not come to the same excesses as in 2009/2010, which, not to be forgotten, happened for a same reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sorry for both of you, it isn't, can't be, won't be, even when it has to hit the Shins where it hurts them the deepest: in their pockets!

scorecard Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) 1. Yes the warehouse owners should be held responsible. 2. "He also noted that warehouse operators are legally responsible for missing stockpiles or degradation. Demanding Yingluck or others to take responsibility is thus politically motivated, he said." This is the same as the CEO who says to the business owner 'We didn't achieve our business goals but you can't blame me, our company marketing manager is not so clever.' Plain straight forward accountability, nothing whatever to do with 'politically motivated'. If boonsong doesn't know that business operates like this / CEO's have ultimate responsibility then how come he was in the ministers seat? Madam claims she decided / she appointed her ministers, so she's responsible for appointing a grossly inappropriate minister. Funny how there's a string of the same ilk, example kittirat the liar, also deeply involved in the rice fiasco.

So if posters disagree with you they are either extremely ignorant or stupid. It is only your opinion, which, along with mine and 99% of all the posters on the forum means nothing at all to the Thai people. They will do what they will do, not necessarily what you, I or anybody else wants them to do. We can either accept it or not. If you can't or won't accept what the Thai people do, then that is your problem and not theirs. Edited November 2, 2015 by CharlieH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the former-Minister has forgotten, who was supposed to be chairing that sub-committee, but kept failing to attend meetings ? Allow me to re-phrase: '...but was kept from attending meetings?', as, IMO, it was all bloody organised, IMO by the Shins' clan inner circle, in the same way Tacky's self-declared puppet and clone never attended sessions of Parliament wherein any matter possibly a tiny bit 'hitchy' for PTP/UDD/TS/Shins could come up, or when there was a controversial vote ahead (like the amnesty scam or the 2 Trillion loan just to name two), for her to remain 'out of shot range', further usable as some 'Snowhite' character both towards the international opinion as the red brainwashed troops, the same of course for the rice committee! Why? As simple as it comes: because 'they' knew from day 1 'they' could some day come under attack for their dishonest actions, and 'they', Thaksin(?) wanted at all, any price to keep (to stay with Disney fairy tales' characters) Dumbo to remain...as white as snow in the eyes of the media and supporters!

Srikcir Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 If the Prayut regime has the rule of law on its side, why must it exercise Article 44 to protect all officials and organisations? Article 44 is used by the junta to bypass the vagaries of due process of law to assure persecution, prosecution and conviction. Frequently, where organic laws either do not apply or are not violated by a Thai citizen's actions, NCPO has applied Article 44 under its self-given powers to prosecute according to its own sense of law. Application of Article 44 is an admission of failure to depend on the judicial process to carry out justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Application of Article 44 is an admission of failure to depend on the judicial process to carry out justice. All I see is poor judgement and indiscriminate use of power in 44. Prayuth always said he will use 44 constructively. This is certainly not and simply an abuse of power and abetting the judiciary and create worse off division. This will drive another nail to reconciliation and even if Yingluck and her ministers were found guilt, their supporters will see that as a conspiracy against the Shins and PT. Just like Thaksin conviction was not accepted by his supporters because the trial was held during the junta government. Better for Prayuth to rescind 44 and not even make any comment deemed to influence the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bignose Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 While this individual is most definitely not isolated in his opinions and his support for the previous administration, I still find it breathtaking that they can still articulate such a one sided and deceitful defense of this massive fraud against the people of Thailand. Not only was YS responsible for instigating this grotesquely expensive scheme, she was the Chairperson of the entire scheme during it's implementation. She was the person who had her hands on the steering wheel with total and free access to all details and facts. She was in charge when the alarm bells were ringing and when others were warning that there were irregularities and problems, this disaster did not take place overnight it was many, many months in the making and was visible to all. Make no mistake this scheme did exactly what it was supposed to do, it removed many billions of Baht from the public coffers and deposited them into the bank accounts of the chosen few of the well connected. This was an exercise in the redistribution of a nations wealth, it was a flagrant and cynical theft of a nations assets with no regard for the people of that nation. How many schools or hospitals could have been built or renovated with that money? How many lives could have been improved with just a fraction of the lost billions? The white noise, lies and plain propaganda from this side of the political fence cannot hide forever what happened here, that YS and her corrupt government were responsible for a massive fraud on the people who voted for her and who paid her wages, to believe anything else id delusional...
