Ruangkrai demands Revenue Department to probe General Prawit’s one million baht cheque

 

 

BANGKOK: -- A legal advisor of the Pheu Thai party on Monday asked the Revenue Department to investigate whether Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan had properly paid income tax for the one million baht in cheque he received nine years ago when he served as the defence minister.

 

Mr Ruangkrai Leekitwattana told reporters that the one million baht cheque dated December 18, 2008 was among the assets he declared with the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

 

If the check was cashed, he said the money received would be considered as taxable income in accordance with Section 39 of the Revenue Code and tax should be paid to the state in accordance with Section 40 within March 31, 2009.

 

If Gen Prawit has not paid the tax, Ruangkrai said he would like to know whether the Revenue Department had issued summons to the former within five years since the cheque was cashed.

 

The Pheu Thai legal advisor insisted that his move for the Revenue Department to investigate the cheque issue was not a vindictive act against the government’s attempt to demand capital gains tax from former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra over the Shin Corp’s share sale to Singapore’s Temasek Holdings in 2006.

Guess Mr Ruangkrai Leekitwattana  may have to do a disappearing act soon !!

No doubt the deputy PM will come out with a statement along the lines of everything is above aboard and how very dare anyone question his integrity. 

 

Problem is they dont seem to understand they should be scrutinised the most. They're supposed to lead by example but it's always "do as I say and not as I do". This attitude is not sustainable and will always end badly.

The fight back begins. Lots of fun time ahead. Reconciliation just left by the backdoor. It will be thrust and parry  and watch for junta to self destruct.

Always card blanche for the rich and powerful.
