Yingluck drops HBD song for brother, and it's really sappy
By Kaewta Ketbungkan, Staff Reporter



BANGKOK — In the homestretch to the first public measure of the junta which dislodged her government from power, former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra shared a song with the world Tuesday.

Yingluck serenades her brother in blood and political fortune on the occasion of his birthday in a video released Tuesday which also serves to remind Thais that they’re not going anywhere.

A born singing star. Can I buy the single at 7-11?

[NongKhaiKid]

No.1 with a bullet or is that an unfortunate choice of words.

What will the govt ban now ?

[The stuttering parrot]

A reminder they are not going anywhere.

Oh boy here's the Yingluck name once again it the headlines and the junta yellows must be absolutely seething at the timing of this one.

Actually it's quite a brilliant and gutsy move as she has the one thing the junta yellows crave and that they will never have.

The hearts and minds of the majority of the Thai people.

For every song you buy of her, you get a kg of rotten rice with it,,, free....

Her years of singing karaoke has resulted in the release of her new single.

Don't believe that it is entirely her idea and penned the song lyrics.

A singing ex PM. debuting as a singer!

[Alive]

One of the best things about Thailand is that pretty much everyone is willing to sing in public. Westerners are too afraid of criticism to sing most of the time. Here everyone tries to sing.

"My Way" ?????

[huanga]

Can this karaoke rendition rival with the one Michele Obama did with James Corden?

[Carib]

Aaauw.. a song for her brother.. Isn't that sweet.

Have to admit that it is an original way to keep `things` alive.

[Skywalker69]

"My Way" ?????

Yes but in "her way"

[NongKhaiKid]

"My Way" ?????

His Way ?

HBD song ban is in the near future.

Not the only singing woman PM. Dear old Maggie on Top of the Pops.

Got everyone attention, again. Got under the skin of the junta. Got their message across to their supporters. Good PR and good timing. Their supporters will be reinvigorated and the plan to get rid of Thaksin regime is way off course.

[mesterm]

Well that was a funny way to start the day

It's a sad day when a society worships a convicted criminal on the run. And a sister does a song like this for her brother! Very, very, very weird.

The society does have a weird way of expressing how they feel about the conviction by electing them back to the government. Perhaps the judiciary has really not live up the expectation of the society.

OMG, next she'll be making a movie

Well we just don't know do we?

The Thai People were prevented from deciding two years ago, and the junta are strangely reticent about giving them the opportunity any time soon.

I wonder why? Perhaps you could explain?

[gp2002]

Isn't she in jail yet?

It's a sad day when you're aware of a few criminals in power who are not convicted, so yes it is weird.

As has been reported before, Thais are OK with corruption, as long as they get a piece! Even if it is a small piece like a crappy tablet for their kid! LOL

Could you please define "the majority of the Thai people"?

Would that be over 33,500,000 which was the population in 2013?

If it is so can you also explain how you managed to get that number? Did you do a poll or something like that?

I do agree that there are many millions who do adore her, but equally there are many other millions who don't.

I am just trying to counter your bias with mine.
