Thaksin's fading
"truth is, #Thaksin has lost much of his influence. Few MPs attended te dinner.. Yet he appears to hold a misplaced perception of himself -- remaining #selfcentred.. largely unaware tt he's te problem.. #controversies surrounding him incl te "super deal", rumours of an agreement to secure his return, his dubious #hospitalisation to avoid #imprisonment, ongoing southern unrest, #corruption allegations, & his fallout w #HunSen.. dinner felt like a farewell"

He doesn’t help #Thai people
"a #localwoman #Miew approached #Thaksin, shouting: “If you’re friends, why did you let your friend kill Thais?”. Miew said she had relatives displaced fr #Kantharalak district in #SiSaKet & blamed Thaksin for not prevent'g te conflict, despite his longstand'g relationship w #HunSen. “He doesn’t help Thai people, only his own family. We’ve been abandoned.. he never listens to people like us”.. Thaksin emerged fr a restroom only after she left"

Thaksin's "privileged" hospital stay
"MCT found lack of evidence showing #Thaksin was in dire straits on his 1st nite in jail when he was transferred to PGH. Moreover Thaksin didn't leave e special ward on 14th floor until receiv'g royal clemency 6 months later.. Shortly after leaving PGH, he appeared to be in good health. Tis prompted #SupremeCourt to launch inquiry to whether his sentence was properly served.. MCT's decision gives us some hope tt #justice may be served"

🤔Thaksin apologises over #massacre in southern #Thailand 2 decades ago
"Anchana H, co-founder of Thai rights gp Duay Jai, told AFP it was 1st time #Thaksin had apologised. “If he's sincere, he shld (also) say sorry to the families.. face to face”.. The case has become synonymous w a lack of #accountability in a region governed by emergency laws & flooded w army & police units. No member of e Thai security forces has been jailed for #extrajudicial killings in e #deepsouth"

🇹🇭🧐Corruption still a problem
"how hv grey businesses involving #Chinese #mafia gangs been made possible? Only bec certain #state #authorities hv turned a #blindeye. When it comes to corruption, there's no significant difference btw #civilian #administrations & #military #regimes.. It shld be noted tt #Thais first learned of the term #policy-oriented #corruption shortly after #Thaksin #Shinawatra took office in 2000. Extreme #populism is a trademark of e Shinawatra family"

Absence far too much
" #Thaksin when PM, took his #parliament duties a bit too lightly, hardly attending sessions, which gave his admin a reputation as a "majority #dictatorship". #Yingluck followed in his footsteps in 2011. Former PMs Chuan Leekpai, Abhisit Vejjajiva & Samak Sundaravej often answered parliamentary qns. Their presence solidified the institution. Paetongtarn & #PheuThai claim to champion #democracy. Her absence fr parliament is #disrespectful to democracy"

#Anwar’s pick of #Thaksin as #Asean adviser raises eyebrows in #Malaysia
"“Usually the PM will choose a #diplomatic expert, a former #foreignaffairs minister, or an academic.. But tis time Anwar chooses a former PM who's been #sentenced to #jail in his own country for #abuse of power & #corruption,” .. perceived as Anwar not hv'g enuf confidence.. unclear what roles such informal #advisers play, how they'll impact Asean’s decisions, & what they expect fr Anwar in return"🤔

"Thaksin's vision shows tt he has #misjudged e changing #bigpicture of #Thaieconomy & seems to rely on traditional solutions.. #Thailand doesn't hv a firm #development #strategy. Whatever projects e #government is supporting cld be completely ignored by e next one.. #Thaksin seems to misunderstand e issue of e impact on GDP on #legalising #underground economic activities.. Thaksin's visions r to be commended. But they missed e bull's eye of Thailand's #economic #problems"

#BangkokPost #editorial
" #Thaksin's proposal sounds good on a pamphlet, but it #needsmorework to ensure #fairness for all. The use of #publicfunds to fulfil an #unreasonable #populist #policy where only certain groups will benefit is #inappropriate. The era of #populism, in which #politicians just make big #promises without showing clear plans & a source of funding, should be over. Populist policies must come with thorough #explanations of where the money will come from"

Córka Thaksina premierem
Jej rządy w podzielonej Tajlandii nie będą łatwe. Ojciec i ciotka byli obalenie przez wojskowe zamachy stanu. Sam Thaksin powrócił do Tajlandii w sierpniu ubiegłego roku po 15 latach spędzonych na wygnaniu, kiedy zawarł sojusz z partiami wspieranymi przez wojsko w celu utworzenia rządu.

"Thaksin, then #primeminister, quickly branded the robbers "small-time crooks", which can't have improved things. If he had been more prudent, the #KrueSe #mosque & #TakBai #massacres in April 2004 & October of the same year, in which 32 & 85 #Thai #Muslims died, respectively, might have played out differently or even been avoided. Although he did not directly gave orders for the #military #crackdowns in those cases, #Thaksin, as head of the #government, must bear some #responsibility" #Thailand
