BANGKOK: -- Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan reiterated on Monday that the authorities had no way to prevent former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra from fleeing the country.

 

“How could the authorities know when and where she would flee? Who would know it?” Prawit said at the Defence Ministry, in response to a reporter who pointed out that the authorities had monitored Yingluck’s movements, even when she went to temples to make merit.

 

He said officials at the latest Defence Council meeting did not discuss Yingluck’s escape.

 

“Yingluck’s escape was unexpected because she earlier always insisted that she would not flee. And there are police in front of her house all the time,” he said.

 

Yingluck failed to hear the verdict in her negligence trial on Friday and sources disclosed she had fled to Dubai, where her brother, Thaksin, lives in exile.

Every time this guy opens his mouth I turn on the BS filter. 

Complicit, incompetent, and absolutely pitifully poor at covering up after.

And clowns like this expect the Thais to have faith in them administering the country's affairs.. Disgraceful ?

Lies. Pure and simple.

Don't be so bloody facetious. Clearly she was able to escape by cunningly disguising herself as a rice farm and nipping out of the side entrance. 

In further reports:
Olympic committee could not avoid to take the bribe ...
Pilot could not avoid to enter the cockpit under influence ...
Doctor could not avoid to remove patient's head ...

"Yinglucks escape was unexpected because she earlier always insisted she would not flee"

And you fell for that...............

And why the 24 hour watch detail in that case?

Must have went out the back way then.

It was a full 23 and a half hours a day.

These people never let me down when I need cheap entertainment. 

The more I read the more intrigued I become. This dude cannot just say it was in the Junta's interest to have her escape but perhaps they never thought through any escape excuse.

 

Yes!! Army at the back and front BUT no-one thought there was anything suspicious about the helicopter.

Clearly she wore a cunning disguise, like the one in this photo, but the old-ladies handing her red-roses should perhaps have given the officers a clue ?  

 

Do they get danger-money, for standing in-front-of those orange arrows, I wonder ?

 

The officer on-the-far-right has no paunch, must be a fake one !

 

"Yingluck remains stoic, when told her flight is in Economy !"

The most watched and guarded woman in Thailand simply gets on a helicopter and casually flies out of the country.

 

You really couldn't make this crap up. lol

 

Pan-O and Prawit doing their best Sgt. Shultz routine.
 

 

Prawit said they couldnt stop Yingluck escaping!!!

No they couldnt, because they assisted her to depart.

Guarded by police 24 hours a day, yet she just vanishes, yea right.

"Dubai, where her brother, Thaksin, lives in exile."

 

When at last will they stop spreading this wrong information (from taksin's PR department), calling his escape from criminal charges "exile"

They have no problem banging people up for showing the slightest dissent but they can't stop an Ex PM from fleeing the country

Exactly. It's just complete and utter balls, isn't it?

When a suspect is out on "bail" did  she turn in her passport(s)?  

She took lessons from the Monk

How <deleted> stupid do they think people are, I find it quite insulting I'd say the Thais do too

Yes, probably hiding in one of the temples. After she's had her haircut and donned the robes, they won't be able to touch her then. Might even get her bail money back as a donation to the temple!

Thaksin ,The flying saucer monk,The Red Bull heir,Yingluck,the common denominator is money to pay your way out.

By the way Yingluck has more than one house and a variety of passports and obviously Mr Yingluck had no idea,or perhaps they forgot to ask him.

Yeah, no, actually you could have. 

 

But you didn't want to, really, did you?

Hmm...you see..the thing is...people about to flee tend to be liars. 

 

Especially politicians.
