The only problem is that he's being paid anything at all. Thats how politics works a little bit here and a Beer company donation there 50,000 bahts a month it all adds up in the end.

The law is not a popularity contest. Yet you know full well that whatever law is in place will only be selectively enforced. That problem will NEVER be resolved under a regime commited to maintaining , indeed strengthening the status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He IS a criminal, as well as dishonest, and currently a fugitive from justice. Shin was convicted because his wife bought land at a lower price. Hardly catergorized as corruption. the outcome of a prison sentence was necessary because it would be the end of his political career , followed hopefully by the end of his party popularity without his leadership. The assumption was wrong.? Hence a different tactic was needed and here we are today. No corruption, no nepotism, a transparent and fair government in shins place. ?

Obviously considerably looser than they should be, then. Though I suppose that would depend on one's view of the term 'normal'. Frankly, for B100,000, he should be there for EVERY meeting, which probably averages no more than a couple per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crime was conflict of interest by a government official. So yes, not in the same category as corruption. In fact charges against his wife for corruption were dropped which indicated that the land transaction itself was valid. Compare Thaksin's single conviction to the Prayut regime that has for almost three years been unabashedly known for its conflict of interest with the RTM, RTP, NLA, NAAC, other independent organizations, civil service, etc. - about what one might expect when a country is ruled by absolute power. If one demonizes Thaksin as a lawbreaker, one must also view the Prayut regime as no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
