Ms Yingluck says her 50th birthday anniversary is a difficult year of her life

 

 

Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra turns 50 on Wednesday, saying this will be one of the most difficult years of her life.

 

She did not elaborate the difficulty that she would face this year but it was widely understood that it concerns the dereliction of duty charges against her in connection with the loss-ridden rice pledging scheme of her government.

 

Ms Yingluck who made merit at Wat Saket on the occasion of her 50th birthday anniversary thanked all the people who gave her moral support all along. She said that she tried to stay strong in light of the difficulty facing her, but admitted that sometimes she could not control her emotions.

 

On this auspicious occasion, her brother, fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, sent her a big bouquet of flowers and well wishes.

Still better on the eye at 50 than Prayuth well at least until the Dusit Poll comes out declaring the general as the most attractive p.m ever.

[ratcatcher]

Happy birthday old girl.

[Freed1948]

Not as difficult as the families of the farmers who committed suicide due to her rice scheme!

So the current mob with their own fancy rice schemes who have taken the precaution of giving themselves pre-absolution and immunity will have no remorse then. The tar and the brush can be applied to both.

Even more attractive than the number one all star singing, dancing cult glamour boy PM Prayut? A no brainer!

I know more than you think about Prayut's immunity declared rice schemes. It is none of your business where I live Spider-Man but I will tell you anyway to satisfy your curiosity.

Ramkhamhaeng Road near Bang Kapi Mall. I am on the seventh floor so I hope your sticky web will stretch to those heights.

Pop around sometime and we can go down to the Food Hall at the Mall and have a bite. Bring some money if you have any.

[YetAnother]

my concern can be measured in micro-giveashits

[sujoop]

Meanwhile, the poorest farmers weren't even part of the rice scheme... The program was a fraud from the outset.

 

There's a civil liability law which is designed to protect state officials against liability * unless they were found to have deliberately violated the laws * or to be found in gross negligence of duty^. Unfortunately Yingluck went along with 'Thaksin speaks - Puea Thai does'. The result is she willfully turned a blind eye to multi-billion $$ plunder, therefore is guilty of 'gross negligence of duty' as charged, which is NOT excused under the civil liability law.

 

Here's a sample from rice scheme corruption cases - a fictional China deal which links a red-shirt leader,  a Yingluck/Pheu Thai party MP and a Thaksin insider:

 

Dummy firm tied to govt figures

*Guangzhou-based GSSG Import and Export Corporation, was actually represented by a Thai man called Rathanit Sojirakul, who later authorised Phichit-based Nimon Rakdi to (sign) a contract to purchase 5 million tonnes of rice on the company’s behalf. ...Rathanit was a close aide to Pheu Thai MP Rapeephan Phongruangrong, who is the wife of red-shirt leader Arisman Phongruangrong. ...Rathanit, who claimed to be the authorised representative of the Chinese firm, only has Bt64.63 in his bank account...
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/politics/aec/30195106

 

Love this comment from Yingluck's (Thaksin's) Commerce minister:
“(After buying the rice) I won’t be investigating what buyers do with it,” he said.

 

So, Yingluck + Commerce Minister obviously were not interested in investigating their corruption laden program but some may ask, what happened to the rice in this supposedly 'innocent normal subsidy deal'?

 

*The G-to-G deal was a fake because no rice was exported to the Chinese firm. Instead, the huge amount of milled rice was sold locally at below market price by the Foreign Trade Department to a ghost buyer who then sold the rice at market price to the two Thai firms which have their own rice mills and later on the same amount of rice were pledged with the government at pledging prices which are about 40 percent above market price. The gang, it was alleged, made double profits from the same amount of rice.

http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/pm-yingluck-probed-connection-fake-rice-deal/

 

'Nimon previously worked at President Agri Trading, a company that was found to have been involved in shady dealings under a rice price-pledging scheme launched in 2003-2004 during Thaksin Shinawatra’s administration.  President Agri is connected to Apichart’s Siam Indica, which was also involved in the scam in 2004'.
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/national/aec/30195106

 

Besides 'losing' multi-billion $$ in the rice scheme, there was also another significant loss event caused by the very same Thaksin program re-launch under Yingluck in 2011:

 

November 11, 2011
Decision to delay the release of water from the country's major dams had been made by the government

“I admit ordering a delay in the release of water so that farmers could harvest their crops first”

Happy Birthday Yingluck, hope the flowers Thaksin sent you were worth it all...

Well I hope your living on the seventh floor in the city gives you a good view of all the scammed Thai farmers, the bank debt they owe and the suffering of many honest rural workers.

And all because of your perceptions about a really crooked lady, her father and the whole family. Yes, this is her worst year. Her scams have run out. Her 2 million living

needs per month is now reduced to 1.8 million. But the farmers who trusted her, took bank loans out on her behalf, who sold rice to the scheme at below market prices on the

promise of better returns in the future.

   

[anon4546543]

Thank you so much sujoop. I only know of the local farmers who were defrauded and made almost totally penniless by this witches schemes.

Thankfully, most farmers with some landholdings are recovering. Some smaller landholders "went away" as my wife says about death and debt.

I am thankful of the mostly stability which has allowed farmers to recover. And before all the democracy at any price brigade be offended, I believe in

a stable, non murderous  and regulated democracy. This has never been seen in Thailand in past history, especially since the odious

Yinglucks purchased their way to power. Until someone actually claims to represent Thai people and not have their whole bodies in the trough,

I reluctantly state that the military regime is better than what has ever been offered by so called democratic political scammers so far.  

[observer90210]

Rice diet is healthy and keeps you young!!!

 

Happy birthday, cutie!!

[wakeupplease]

Happy Birthday YL looking good at 50. If I was you I would get out for a couple of years as at the moment you are being used and abused. It will change as all the others did with many who thought they gave themselves immunity now in jails across the world. Go and enjoy yourself, you deserve it.

And the next big question, which immoral unscrupulous family member will the paymasters throw next under the bus?

 

He ain't finished yet, I just hope coming soon there will be a watertight law to make it illegal for anybody to have any form of contact with this thief with hefty punisgment, and that includes accepting a 'yes man salary' from him.

I do hope you enjoy your pension in England and your morbid enchantment with Thailand.

Keep on posting the negative, it suits you.

Go and enjoy your self, you deserve it.

Except this woman caused too much grief. And your posts are all about giving grief to the Thais.

Wallow in it. In Thailand all those who are not rednecks move on, adjust, adapt, make alternate plans, survive.

Unlike you.

Sure you can have an opinion. But you should try to base opinion on fact, something you failed to do a long time ago.

Keep on making your English based comments about Thailand. I would have thought you would be immersed in Britains

problems but you have this unhealthy, gnawing fester in you about Thailand. About time you gave it away, enjoyed the

pension and free heath service and all that is good about Britain and the odd bombing.

If I want to wish some one a Happy Birthday as by right I can, then along comes SO and moans or tries to intimidate me or lets be frank tries to tell everyone at the moment I am in the UK and should not be allowed on TV. >> Now in the past he did say I should not be allowed on TV, and he would get me kicked off, but George makes his money by the numbers on here and helps keep the site going.

 

No doubt he will be on the report button soon. Just child like I think and I ignore it.

So the wife who is Thai and just asked me to wish YL a happy birthday has no right to do so as far as you are concerned

 

OK you do it your way and I will do it my way, lets just move on, well I will as not wasting my time anymore

 

Pension not due for a while but I will when it arrives.

But it was not your wife that said "happy birthday". It was you, do not blame the wife all the time.

And yes, I do hope you move on. You are so out of touch here. Enjoy Britain, It is the type of country you want.

You no longer need to be here, if your wife wants to make comments allow her some freedom to do so.

True. He also said she was being "used and abused". Also a comment about a dear relative in the same predicament.

I suggest the Yinglucks used and abused the Thai people.

I doubt there are many rice farmers living in the Bang Kapi area of Bangkok. Take a grip Spider-Man.

In any case I have not made any comment in favour of the Yingluck rice schemes. I have simply implied the PM's rice scheme can't be much better otherwise why would he have given himself immunity.

Your rant is wasted on me.

I suppose that she could do what some rice farmers chose to do when they were faced with ruin, find a tree and a rope. I have zero sympathy for her.

And where's the family; big brother still too scared to come home and face the music for his deserved conviction and give her a hug, and no sign of her husband, big sister, somchai and oat. Not even surapong! Not even tida nor nutawut nor jutuporn. She's been dumped...

Can't imagine her in gaol somehow.The private jet will be on standby .I don't know the full story but would imagine she was just a puppet for her brother.From what i can make out Thaksin was good for the Thai economy ( he still has a big following in his home town Chiang Mai ) but was far too greedy for himself .
