Yingluck moves to have Bt35 bn damages order revoked

By The Nation

 

 

The Administrative Court is scheduled to hear on Thursday a petition filed by former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra against an administrative order for her to pay Bt35 billion in damages allegedly stemming from her government’s rice-pledging scheme.

 

Yingluck’s petition argues that the order was unlawful and unfair to her, according to a press release from the court yesterday.

 

The petition named Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and four other Cabinet mem?bers as defendants, according to the court.

... but may be to Yingluck this is not unfair

[sweatalot]

Is her money still in Thailand?

[seajae]

the only thing unlawful was her refusal to do anything about all the money and rice disappearing under her watch, she refused to attend any rice meetings even though she was the person in charge, she refused to accept the truth that money and rice was simply going missing and there was corruption involved even with all the evidence so she has no one to blame but herself. The problem now is she is sh*ting herself she will loose all her (brothers) money and not be able to do her regular shopping trips etc, last thing she wants is to be not rich

 

[ramrod711]

Obviously, money motivates her to show up at these endless hearings. If only they could have motivated her to show up for cabinet and Rice scheme meetings! Oh well, she will never admit to it but she was definitely derelict in her job performance.

Surely you're trying to have it both ways. Either she was the puppet of her brother who was controlling every move from abroad - so no need to turn up for anything - or she was actually the premier?

[yellowboat]

It is a tie as to which side lacks moral high ground; a hapless yet extremely beautiful leader and a power usurping, troll of a general.  No moral high ground and no impartiality in Thailand at this time.  Perhaps a vote from the Thai people.  They seem to be the fairest in the land.

To be fair, I didn't say she was a puppet, I said she was derelict in her job performance. I also didn't call her corrupt, not because I don't think she is, but because I can't prove it. If you look at her lack of attendance in general, specifically at the rice board meetings, it was abysmal, clearly not up to any reasonable standard.

True. But it's never been "unfair" to her before.

The Western constructs of ethics, morals, and the "moral high ground" aren't necessarily understood or constructed the same throughout Asia.

That's why we don't really understand them and they don't understand us when we discuss such things.

 

What's interesting is how so many Western politicians have embraced the Eastern understanding these days!

Or then again maybe it is.

[wakeupplease]

The generals way of keeping her out of the limelight, good luck young lady but I hope you remember this is Thailand and he has to pay for those much needed subs some how

[BuaBS]

Oh please, it is silly to compare morally bankrupt Thai institutions to most countries in Asia.  It has always been a basket case lacking in wisdom and fairness.  Look at the city states of Hong Kong and Singapore;  rule of law, no nonsense immigration and flat taxes.  China, for all its faults, does amazing things and still is a place of unparalleled opportunity.  Taiwan; most free "country" in Asia with a rock solid democracy.  Malaysia is problematic and corrupt, but far more sane and better developed than Thailand.  There is a lot the west needs to learn from Asia regarding governance with the exception of Thailand.  Thailand ought to be skipped, as it has not developed in spite of having enjoyed many decades peace .

You seem to conveniently miss the point that the offences took place quite a while before the general came on the scene.

No, I mean to say the good general and his junta lack ethics and are unfit to judge.  Experience with the common Thai says they are more fit to do so.

Making the assumption that you believe that you have ethics, please judge whether the rice scam was carried out with due diligence and respect for the people's wealth she was entrusted to manage. It seems to me that those you claim have no ethics have made a very accurate call.

Only observing the complete lack of impartiality that Thai institutions have today.  Do you dispute the average Thai, who is said to have been hurt by this scheme, has moral and ethical superiority at this time and would be better fit to judge her ?  Are you against a trial by her Peers ?

Make sure to ask for damages and loss of face.

Under democracy no in this case yes. Its like playing Russian Roulette with these guys and they are spinning the cylinder.

...confusing....

[George Graham]

Aha! So this is where the junta huggers all hang out.

[PiAnt]

I think we're getting away from the main issue here which is, what are we going to call ourselves.

 

I think the League Against The Vilification If Allowed Not Simply For Ordinary Ratification of Forcible Arrests Reinforcing The Status (quo).

 

Unfortunately, the acronym is latviansforfarts, but I truly believe it does emphasize the majority of opinions above.

 

Thoughts?
