You mention the bomb detector scam? Please. That pales in comparison to the damage the Shinawatra clan has inflicted on Thailand. Yingluck and her thieving brother belong in jail. Period.

 

 

Don't know how long you have been here, but during the days of Khun Thaksin, Thailand was a thriving, growing nation. Now it is the opposite.

Thaksin and his family and assorted cronies were also thriving and their bank accounts growing ... no, exploding !!!

You're kidding, the present Head Honcho has armed himself with a gold plated amnesty past present and future, for him and his family, so cannot be touched!

Did she not say "I was out of the office when the scheme was drawn up"...

Good luck collecting that, if she has any sense she will have moved

her assets long ago,   her reply "I know nothing".

You really mean cronyism and corruption was growing and lots of folks were getting rich through corruption while the little man didn't even get a crack at the crumbs.

Take a look at the composition of the NLA, and the boards of all state enterprises, and the future Senate, and you will see that the current "administration" have taken cronyism to an unprecedented level.

 

As for the current corruption, we will never know, because cronyism has also infiltrated all of the corruption watchdog organizations.

 

Try to forget your hatred of all things Thaksin, even for a second, and take a look at what's going on around you. You might be surprised...

Just as planned. Luckily the uncorruptable military will be on hand to reluctantly step in and manage the country with the selflessness they have become notorious for over generations...

Strange that the biggest fine ever is the result of an administrative order without any possibility to appeal or review the case by an independent court. And the main court case is still pending, right?

 

Stranger, it's not a fine and she can appeal..." Upon receiving the notification, Ms Yingluck can petition the compensation demand to the Administrative Court."

it may have only been about 20 million US$ but the bomb detectors were such an obvious scam, yet no one was ever punished because of who they are. 

"The GT200 case was a unique scandal because the devices...seemed to fool only the people closely connected to their sale and purchase."

 

I think the rice scheme was an even more obvious scum. Government actions might fail. But if the failure can be seen before the beginning - then those who were in charge should be accountable

Government actions might fail. And that might be bad luck.  But if the failure can be seen from the startg - then those who were in charge should be accountable because they acted irresponsibly

The British scammer was punished big time, who else should be punished?  Being conned isn't a crime yet.

If she doesn't cough up she'll be jailed regardless of her assets.

It's only $1 Billion U.S.D.  Surely she can just write a check for it.

Disagree, I suggest it's in the long-term interests of Thailand to show everybody and especially the younger generations that the shin behaviors, their morals and values are totally unacceptable and their attempts to openly rape the country are being punished.

So your saying whatever the paymaster did was OK because Thailand was thriving (actually that's just your opinion and many would disagree)?

miss spending public funds must be some sort of crime. the only people who thought the devices worked were those who profited from their purchase. interesting to note how many countries purchased them. there have been many people wanting someone help accountable but the army seem to be untouchable when it comes to how their budget is spent.

Five years since it came to light that more than one billion baht was spent on fake devices, a renewed call to hold someone accountable has come days after a British court seized assets belonging to the Briton behind the international scam.  

[The Old Bull]

Taksin's biggest crime was the empowering of the peasants ,for this he can't be forgiven. As for filling his pockets all politicians do it it's the Thai way. The military is just as bad ,why do you think they punish people by moving them to inactive posts.It means no more looting but you keep what you have and continue to draw a check by virtue of having inside knowledge of all the scams and crooked deals.

Crucifying - what a laugh. They've enacted the admin order to prevent filibustering to go by the statute of limitations - why her legal team where trying their best to.

 

She can appeal to the admin court, and will probably do so. Then it will sit enjoying the speedy legal process but she won't get away with the SoL expiring.

only accountable if they appoint themselves chair person and then don't bother attending any meetings, ignore all warnings, fail to take any actions other than to intimidate and punish any who dare speak out; fail to keep or at least make known management and financial accounts. Lie, and get caught lying so lie again.

 

Accountability for such actions seems reasonable, doesn't it?

Sure and some were more growing than others - Khun Thaksin and his clan in particular. And no one new where the money went or what figures could ever be believed - because that's what you get with compulsive liars.

Yes but justice is justice. It should be evenly applied. Look at the Red Bull case and many others. Funny that the Junta stripped her of her governmental position and then proceeded to crucify her. The junta wants to stamp out all that is Shin right down to tearing out pages of the history books. Its a modern version of the old sword to sword battles that were fought years ago in the crusades now this is the modern version. 

 

Another re-write of history. Yingluck was removed from the office of caretaker PM and Defense Minister. She dissolved parliament and went into caretaker mode. She was then removed from office by a court for an illegal abuse of power. Removing someone from his job so someone else could be moved to make way for "one of the family" to be installed. 

 

And the Shins want to right their own history books, as do some posters here.

Imagine if the Shins had got their hands on that 2.2 trillion baht loan, off budget, away from parliaments scrutiny and with similar accounting to the rice scam. 

 

Thailand would really have "thrived"
