Eric Loh Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thaksin already keeping a low profile. He is smart to know what's at stake. When the time is right, he will raise his profile. what's at stake ? he still hasn't got the message that the only way he will be back in Thailand is from the airport to a jail cell Hate to spoil your day but you need to come to some sense of reality that he is not going behind bars like all rich and politically powerful dudes. Ditto the military and police generals. The same to the murder and insurgent charges to Suthep and Ahbisit. No one going to jail and is uniquely Thailand.

williamgeorgeallen Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 10 years in jail for any public official caught taking bribes. Is that in the Charter? It should be. no need, they are already well into (2 years) an effort to rid the country of corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieinthailand Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) 10 years in jail for any public official caught taking bribes. Is that in the Charter? It should be. not something for the charter but I agree - the only way to stop the rot is to get serious with the offenders especially those in public office, should have been a high priority item in the junta roadmap and also enforcement of law equal for all.....no exceptions The "well wish" for Thaksin was bait and this bloke fell for it hook line and sinker. Constitutional law is the country's highest law, so yes I think that it should be a place in it. As you said, "the only way to stop the rot is to get serious with the offenders especially those in public office, should have been a high priority in the junta roadmap and also enforcement of law equal for all... no exceptions". But that's just not the case now is it. they have other higher priority's don't they, like gaoling those that differ in opinion to the junta... Why do you so passionately support a junta that arrests charges and gaols people for expressing their opinion? Then he say's less than five people that gather is "a trick" and what should be done about it? Well smedly the junta gave themselves total immunity from all laws past present and future broken by himself and his cohorts. So if you were "serious" then, why do you support a junta breaking laws as they see fit and writing new laws to stop people criticizing them for it? Now there is a sitting Democrat/yellow governor of BKK that has been implicated in a number of corruption allegations and has not been added to the investigation list, nor has he been stood down nor has he voluntarily stepped aside until investigations are complete, inactive post. Also two 8 year old girls are being charged for taking a vote list as they liked the pink color, and originally the junta accused "dissident groups" of the act but when truth comes out they have to save face so 8 year old girls are now regarded by the junta as criminals... Then we have the junta threatening the UN rapporteur that he has broken Thai laws for expressing opinion in his rapport regarding the Junta arresting and charging people for expressing their opinion's then in the next breath claiming they respect and adhere to the International convention to the rights of the people freedom of expression and freedom of press. So smedly seems you support a junta that says they respect and adhere to freedoms of expression then turn around and arrest charge gaol people for doing so including 8 year old girls playing with pink paper unbeknown it a voting list... And last but not least, Why do you last few junta fan club stay well away from the two 8 year old girls and the UN rapporteur being threatened by the junta???????

SOUTHERNSTAR Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 So despite being elected several times (and I include his sister and the other PTP PMs in this as he has always been the de facto leader) they think he will just sit back and watch the old elite make sure it won't matter anymore which party is elected as the dinos will rule anyway? Yeah, sure..... isn't that exactly what the problem is, he used his money to buy elections and also bribed the country with populous unsustainable election promises, he abused his position in so many ways they are too long to list - he broke the law and was convicted and did a runner while other charges were/are still pending and is now trying to destroy the country if he can't get his own way, scum of the highest order Please tell us when he was convicted of buying votes ? The rice scheme was nothing more than a social welfare programme in which the government made people work for their benefits, this compared to the new proposed social welfare programme where people will get hand outs. He was convicted by a panel of judges who was appointed by the previous junta and was no more corrupt than any past or present PM. Please explain to us how a person with an annual gross income of B1,2m (over the last 18 months of his career)gets to accumulate B 680 million ? (if he didn't inherit it and there is no proof tax was paid on this money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djjamie Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 To wish a convicted criminal fugitive accused mass murderer and accused terrorist a happy birthday would be lowering yourself in the eyes of the majority that have quite clearly moved on and now enjoy the peace and calm that the Junta have provided. Yes, yes a small violent very vocal minority proposing to represent the majority will disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silent Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) A "reporter" asked what well wishes DPM had for Thaksin on his birthday. What a stupid question from a stupid "reporter".

Yeah, sure..... Interesting that there appears zero desire or intention to attempt an extradition for jumping bail, or to serve any of the warrants issued for the outstanding court cases. Asking him to keep a low profile is likely to be as successful as asking him to hand back any of the money he and his clan have stolen from the Thai people.

What he means is that when deciding which laws are enforced on whom, whoever is in power gets the choice. The Krungthai Bank fraud is hardly "all politics" now is it? Thaksin is far from in a minority of corrupt politicians and crooks, but that doesn't somehow lessen his crimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it proves he's not the only "bad man", staging a coups to overthrow elected Governments, even in their caretaker status ranks right up there with the dastardly crimes of the century, except Thaksin never gave himself an amnesty for his crimes, his party tried to do it and it got thrown out by the big house, who can protest against the Junta's amnesties, past present and future? answers on a stamp will do nicely.

beautifulthailand99 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 To all the Thaksin haters the Junta may shortly have a use for him and then they may be forced to do a rapid U-turn on all the Thaksin hate. Events and positions can move fast. The Turkish model undelines this even more forcefully. “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
