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"

"The #MedicalCouncil of #Thailand on Thurs upheld its decision to discipline 3 #doctors who enabled #Thaksin Shinawatra to spend his entire #prison #sentence in #hospital, a day before the start of a #SupremeCourt case tt cld result in him being jailed. “More than two-thirds of the council voted to uphold the punishments,” Prof Dr Prasit Watanapa, the council vice-president, told reporters. “Members made the decision based on #medical #principles, #evidence & #reason.”"⚖️✔️

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"

#Thai #antigraft body probes #Thaksin’s previous stay in #hospital instead of #jail
" #Thailand’s #National #AntiCorruption Commission (NACC) on Dec 16 resolved to investigate 12 #government #officials for allegedly allowing former prime minister Thaksin #Shinawatra to stay in a hospital instead of jail.. NACC found enough #facts, #witnesses and #evidence to conduct the #investigation and thus resolved to proceed with the case and investigate the 12 officials"

#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

" #Thaksin -- a #convict who was #bedridden for 6 months -- seems to be in rude health; there are no traces whatsoever to suggest that, about 3 weeks ago, he was declared to be a gravely #sickman who could hardly help himself .. He was seen briskly walking unaided under the scorching sun .. defeated is the #justice system that has become a #farce in the eyes of average people .. He needs to walk away gracefully while there are people who still love & admire him" #Thailand

#Thaksin joined the military-royalist-establishment 'complex' to help sideline the election winning reform movement... 👀
「The biggest concern internationally will be whether, given the growing US-China rivalry for primacy in Southeast Asia, the new government will shadow the military’s efforts to cozy up to Beijing, including sending back Uyghur, Tibetan and Chinese dissidents who had escaped from Beijing's clutches. The other question is whether he will also follow the military's behind-the-scenes efforts to ameliorate pressure on the Myanmar military dictatorship and its bloody civil war against its own people that began in February 2021 it has so far taken the lives of thousands of the country’s own citizens.」
