Was negligence not the accusation amd reason for a trial for Yingluck..? 

So which minister  is now to be prosecuted....? ?

"THE GOVERNMENT and the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) did not allow former premier Yingluck Shinawatra to flee the country....."

 

Didn't allow, but didn't try to stop her, either.  One thing is for sure, nobody will be rushing to bring her back; why spoil a pre-conceived win win scenario.

'No deal', so that means that they are just highly incompetent, and cannot keep tabs on a high-profile defendant?

 

Nobody would ever believe that, of the RTP, would they ? 

A post with a term that is not permitted in describing the PM or the gov't has been removed.  

How hysterically funny this fellow is......we all know there was a deal.

Good luck with that. 

Dems. ... "Oh shit we have lost our ally that we did not know we had". 

Without the strength of pt, the dems will be putty in the great powers hands. 

All is going according to plan.

She might dish the dirt, but it is equally conceivable that she will remain silent under the deal she didn't make with the military and in doing so, sell her supporters down the river. We will just have to wait and see.

She was not helped in any way by the goverment. She fled on her own just like her father did. Of course the family helped her with her desertion.

Okay but what we all want to know

The verdict was due to be announced today

 

PLEASE PRINT THE VERDICT

 

So there might a new Thai movie coming out soon. I wonder what the name would be.

We already have:

• Escape from Atlantis
• Escape from New York
• Escape from L.A.
• Escape from Alcatraz
• The great Escape

Options:

• The YL escape
• Escape from Bangkok 
• Escape from Thailand
• Escape from ...

I also wonder if there would be some action in it. Or is it only a one liner: "We just paid an immigration officer"...

I believe him. I believe in the tooth fairy, Trump and Kim Jong Un as well.

Police step up investigation into former PM's flight

 

BANGKOK, 28th August 2017 – Royal Thai Police are to discuss former Prime Minister Yingluck's flight from court proceedings, with the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) while already confirming it had no prior knowledge of her intentions. 

NCPO Spokesman Col Winthai Suwaree has responded to speculation that former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was aided in her departure for places unknown, ahead of the delivery of a verdict in the case involving her government’s rice pledging scheme, saying that the present government and NCPO have been completely transparent in their dealings and would never obstruct the judicial process.

 

He pointed out such views are only personal assumptions by some people and are not based on any evidence, noting that acceptance of such unfounded opinions is pointless . The spokesman urged controversial opinions be kept private so as not to confuse the general public. 

Meanwhile, Special Branch 4 Commander Pol Maj Gen Chayaphol Chatchaidej indicated that a warrant to search Yingluck’s home has yet to be sought as police have yet to ascertain where she might have launched her escape. Deputy national police chief Pol Gen Sriwara Rangsiphramnakul has ordered all evidence to be assembled for a progress meeting.

Just wait until she has a chance to get another. What, she already has THREE? I guess that's called forward planning...

Big bloody deal, what's the use of a Thai passport outside of Asia anyway, and as a Thai,   she is free to enter Thailand at anytime she wishes. 

So the big announcement is just a waste of hot air .

I beg to differ, good faith? only when it comes with billions in profits,

happen? nothing happen here without someone hoping to benefit out of it

and in a big way, stupidity? yes and indeed, to think that they can swindle the Thai people in broad day light, involving many people and to the tune of many billions of bahts and to hope to get away with it, yes, that's is moronically stupid...

Another mug who thinks that the country's Red-hued PM would initiate the rice pledging scheme, under full scrutiny of the Yellow-hued amart and military, and hope to make a personal killing from it. Especially considering that they are hovering like kitehawks waiting for an excuse for a coup. I realise most politicians aren't Einsteins, but to carry this out right out in the open would have been foolish in the extreme. I get the impression that Yingluck isn't that much of a fool.

 

No, it was an honest attempt to help the farmers, just like govts in other countries do. Schemes that subsidise the needy are by definition money losing schemes, but they allow people the dignity of carrying on working whilst earning a living wage.

I didn't mean three Thai passports, the are not much use to her, I agree. But if she has any brains, she would have been working on getting other passports from the day she was charged more than two years ago. I'm sure her elder "brother" would have pointed her in the right direction...

There was no deal what so ever. She ran from justice. with the help of her family, and no one else. It shows she could not care less, about thailand or its people. her god is money.

I fully understood your 3 passport comment, I was referring to the useless stupidity of the government cancelling her Thai passport. 

Ok, ?

Pleased for you that you are fully up to speed and have your finger firmly on the pulse of the government's policies and directives, especially the back door deals, any chance you could get me included to the inner sanction of the daily decisions?.

I'm not sure that a passport, of any hue, or lack of one Is a problem.

Whichever country she wishes to travel to, once it has established who she is, will assess whether or not to allow her in no matter whether her Thai passport is cancelled or not.

I think you might actually believe the nonsense you have posted. Unfortunately  you overlooked the fact that the architect behind the rice deal couldn't give  rat's a - rse about anything or anyone else, fully demonstrated by the fact that  he sacrificed his own sister's reputation and future life. 

I don't understand all the negativity here.  This lady and family are the only real chance of keeping the country democratic.  There is no hope for democracy without.

There is no way you can ever use Shinawatra and democracy in the same discussion, never ever. 

what about if you tried democratic and election in the same sentence?
