Prayut: ‘Who would let Yingluck flee?’

BANGKOK: -- Junta head and Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha on Monday denied speculation that the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) deliberately let fugitive former PM Yingluck Shinawatra slip out of the country, saying it was beyond his expectation.

“I didn’t think it would happen. In the morning [of the verdict], I still thought that she would go to court, following the procedure. I respected her,” Prayut said.

 

Bombarded with questions about the incident, Prayut said furiously: “Who would let her flee? How come, why did you think like this?"

 

Prayut said he had instructed security officers to find out how the former premier left of the country. They would also look at flaws in the process to prevent it happening again.

 

Previously, when it was unclear whether she was guilty or innocent, it was difficult to follow Yingluck around because they respected her privacy, he said.

 

Officers had been criticised over their possible violation of human rights, Prayut noted, adding that that had made everything difficult.

 

He didn’t want people to blame the security officers, saying that the media should tone down the criticism. He stressed that it would be “insane” if officers intentionally let her flee.

 

Asked if he thought that the two fugitive former prime ministers and siblings would work together and make political moves, Prayut said the Thai people should think for themselves in this eventuality.

 

However, he added there was hardly anything the government could do about the issue, especially when the media gave it so much attention.

 

While saying he didn’t want to argue with the media, Prayut said he wished the media would lend a helping hand and help make the country peaceful.

 

Officers now would check with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about Yingluck’s departure, he explained. But if the ministry insisted there were no records, there was hardly anything the government could do, he said.

 

Prayut said he only learned from the media about Yingluck’s possible whereabouts. The government would try to contact the country in which she was believed to be, he said.

 

Prayut encouraged anyone with information about the fugitive to come forward and he would help to verify it.

 

Asked whether Yingluck’s passport would be revoked, Prayut said the correct procedure would be followed. The government would do as much as the law allowed, he said. But he stressed that he wanted the country to be peaceful and have unity.

Who let her flee ?

Old boys mind must be going if he's forgotten already.

 

Then resign. You are obviously incompetent.

Don't confuse subtle deflection with Alzheimers..........

just for one moment, imagine if Yingluck actually did get out on her own. 

 

 

 

If he cannot think of anyone, maybe it was him?

Never seemed to be a problem for them in the past, "Human Rights, what's that ?"  

The story has more holes in it then Swiss Cheese ! And honestly would he lie look at his mate in the background looks like he is whistleing Hmmm

Your incompetent, plastic army and it's backers who can't resist a bribe or act in the least bit honorably

Prawit says he is not worried as NACC is asked to probe his negligence over Yingluck’s escape

Prawit said 'Yingluck’s escape was unexpected because she earlier always insisted that she would not flee and there were police in front of her house all the time, he said'.

Subtle deflection? No, bare faced lies or buffoonery that defies rational belief.

Prayut: ‘Who would let Yingluck flee?’ Errr You..!!! 55555+ 

Maybe she fooled everyone and is actually at home with a case of Vertigo, as reported by her lawyer....

 

That would make them look even more foolish if that's possible !!

The Thai military really does believe the Thai populace is ignorant. Letting these buffoons control  the country, I'm starting to believe it too.

They seem to have this sordid pleasure of wading through it.

I think this is great. I wish my country was this smart when dealing with political issues instead of going into full on civil war.

 

Seriously, this is the best outcome ever. What do you guys want, I wonder? Bored too much and wanna see people clash? Not worth it. Great for Thailand.

   Ole Prawit sticking the tongue out, saying ha-ha the 1 that we helped get away.

 

Recent phone call !! Hello is that you Yingluck, yes well Prayut here, we need you to get your a++e out of here before friday.

How can i do that? when your heavies are watching my every move, easy they have been told to go for a pee at 8 pm.

They will be missing for 10 minutes, army jeep will be outside, get in and it will take you to the border.

That is in fact a rhetorical question. Translated it means - do not ask further.

Please can someone tell me the whereabouts of YL? Dubai? Ol'Blighty?

The only information I understand is through the speculations of media.

Detailed maps with arrows, maybe this maybe that, by road, by boat, by privi jet?????   Who knows?

Until some FACTS of YL's  whereabouts are specified, we can only yap about it.

Even the 'Sydney Morning Herald' has accused her of abandoning her 15yo son.

I may well be misinformed, but I have no concrete evidence that LY has even left Thailand. Nor to my knowledge, does anyone.

The media is having a field day, as are many  tvf posters only to speculate. 

Personally I really dont gafk, I would  rather see that nidprick Rbull bought home for a spanking!

Elvis has left the building, we think?
