Opposition says Kasit taints summit

By: BangkokPost.com
Published: 7/01/2009 at 02:12 PM

Opposition party on Wednesday proposed the postponement of Thailand's hosting of Asean summit, claiming that the general public do not accept Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya for his connection with the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD).

Surapong Towijakchaikul from the Puea Thai party, the reincarnation of the dissolved People Power party, claimed that leaders from China and Vietnam do not want to join the summit because the global community do not accept how this government came into power.

He then called on the Justice Ministry to speed up its investigation on the phone tapping case claimed by its minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga.

On the United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) members who threw eggs at Democrat chief adviser Chuan Leekpai on Tuesday, Mr Surapong said he has no hands in the act.

He also defended the anti-government group, saying that they have the right to rally, just like what the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) had done before.

    To Sloth and wtf.

    You are all both so right in your views on the political issues in Thailand of today. It is nice to see that we have such enlightened people in our growing PAD movement. Now I fully understand that we have spent our money wisely.

    Come to think of it. Now that we have kicked this toxic Usurper (Yes that’s THAKSIN) out of office and reclaimed our birth given right to govern this country, now we really have the opportunity to stop this nonsense permanently and set up hinders for such an obscure situation to ever reoccur again. These ignorant, poor, northern excuses of non human low life must once and for all learn the basic fact that their opinions never again will bear any weight when it comes to governing this country.

    Now that we can rightfully claim we gained power in a democratic fashion, we must learn from history and set up solid barriers that secures our future for the next one thousand years and secure us the position where we belong; in charge of the political power of this amazing nation. To obtain that goal we must make sure we can stay in control of courts, the army and the police as we have established the last couple of years. This is the very important lesson history taught us. Then we of course must make sure that the press continue to write the stories we want them to tell. Obviously we’re in good progress there already.

    But of course the sad fact will still remain, that there will no matter how much we suppress the media, remain a few of these dreadful, poor, ignorant losers up north and in Isaan. Well history have given us a lesson there to; we can put up special camps to relocate an re-educate these people in what is truly in their best interests and sole true conception of life. Simple, but the final solution to the problem this nation now and ever after is going to face.

    And for this BLASTING AND IRRITATING DREY; please remember that it not only Saddam who have weapons of mass destruction. I guess gassing you will be the appropriate answer for you.

    So thank you both, one more time wtf and Sloth for joining our fantastic PAD movement. Really hope you were satisfied with your payslip, don’t worry there’s a lot more coming now that we’re back in the control of government. You know what they say; if you’re not with us you’re against us and if so we must crush you literally like an insect.

    To Levenfeld=WTF=Artit=John or whatever other alias you are using today. As far I know Goebbels will be your next one.

    I see in some earlier post (#6) that you in your little conspiracy driven uneducated mind of yours, have big problems with the fact that most people in this world disagree with all your Nazi opinions on politics and of course every other useless opinion you create in your uneducated little brain. And that there are many of us who use our natural given right to express that disagreement on the internet, just as you unfortunately use your freedom of speech to express your gutter Nazi opinions, is obviously incomprehensible for you to understand.

    Just for the record then. I don’t speak for the other nick’s you mentioned, I am not to be confused with Drey but I am absolutely True Democrat and I speak only on behalf of myself no matter what your shitty, Nazi brain think about that.

    So the opposition thing that "....the general public do not accept Foreign Minister Kasit Piromy ...".

    Well let's be honest here, the general public certainly didn't accept: Chalerm as the Public Health Minister, Samak as the PM, Somchai as the PM and with a little research I could continue with at least 50 examples in regard to the leeches attached to Taxsin, TRT and PPP.

    The pot calling the kettle black, what a joke the opposition are.

    I suspect They will continue to embarrass themselves for a quite a while to come because they don't have one decent brain amongst.

    To LAUGHINGSTOCK (Levenfeld),

    YOU DID A VERY CORRUPT WROTTEN DISGUSTING ILLEGAL THING YESTERDAY. YOU USED MY SCREEN NAME "DREY" TO TYPE WHATEVER MESSAGE(S) YOU WANTED ALL OVER THIS BOARD.

    IF I DO NOT RECIEVE AN APOLOGY FROM YOU POSTED ON WHERE YOU USED MY SCREEN NAME ILLEGALLY I WILL CONTACT THE BANGKOK POST, GET YOUR REAL CONTACT INFORMATION AND TAKE YOUR DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR TO COURT.

    SO, YOU HAVE OPENED YOUR TRUE COLORS FOR ALL TO SEE. ARE YOU NOW ANY DIFFERENT THAN THAKSIN? THE MAN YOU VILLIFY AS BEING SO CORRUPT, WROTTEN, ILLEGAL AND DISGUSTING? ARE YOU THE BEST EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE OTHER SIDE HAS TO OFFER? I REST MY CASE.

    AS FOR THE GARBAGE YOU SPEW CLAIMING EVERYONE IS ME THAT DOESN'T SEE EYE TO EYE WITH YOU AND WALK YOUR WALK OR TALK YOUR TALK. NOBODY CARES. ONLY YOU!

    A strip dance for our visitors by Kasit and his wife will solve the problem. This will give some laugh and fun to our visitors.

    (Both of them were having good fun and food in the airport)

    we would have had both the ASEAN summit and the dialogue session with our ASEAN dialogue partners in December with integrity and honour if everyone had accepted gracefully the 2007 results.

    The losers should learn, work hard and wait for the next election to come. But I don't think it is that simple and obvious as we would like to have. The 'invisible hands' supporting democrats and PAD terrorist were shocked and could not accept the election results. They reacted from position of fear, insecurity and greed and do whatever they could think of to gain back power that has enable them to do whatever they wanted for so many years.

    We each have a choice - do we want our future and well beings determined by our own freedom to vote for our representatives in Government or do we want a dictator to dictate the Government.

    wild farang - you are totally right. I cannot add anything else except the whole country is a lughing stock tot he whole world as long as:

    the police are corrupt
    they have no power
    power is in the hands of old army cronies
    nothing will ever be doen according to the rules (that EVERY other civilised country has!)

    How can anything ever grow or move forward and Thailand is now officially condemned to die slowly from the cancer within that is the old guard/PAD that has blackmailed the country to its knees...

    There will be no prosecutions for anything as we all know - not airport sieges, not nightclub fires - only egg throwing!

    Grow up all you dumb privleged Thai 'children' who have the power in Thailand - you think you live in a modern state - you do not as you all think and behave as if you still inhabit the jungle!

    Thailand is being held up to total ridicule by the rest of the world. The other ASEAN leaders are hoping that the Red Shirts will cause the cancellation of the summit because they are completely embarrassed by the Democrat led Government and they actually want the "stupid Thai" problem to go away and give the ASEAN summit to a democratic country, like Cambodia!!!

    As long as that frightened little schoolboy, Abhisit, stays in power and refuses to arrest and/or prosecute the PAD for the terrorist acts they committed then I agree that the UDD should keep breaking the law just the same as the PAD did.

    NOTICE TO ALL READERS, there is a cancer among us. His job is not to communicate. His job is to poison the truth and spread propaganda on these boards. He is paid for this. He uses many names and seems to dump some of them when caught. These are names he definitly uses: DREY....VOICE OF REASON....LAW....GENT....TRUE DEMOCRAT....THONG These names are also probably the same person: N or n....KAWEEKA....KASIT.

    He lies and disorts all facts, including his own board name.

    If I observed that I think PAD is fire-groups and to do first with a very bad attitude, they are not boxers, they should accept what you lossed in general election if the people they don't like PPP so you will be win in the next step. why you don't wait until general election. If you do like this behavior, you will loss forever and with country division. On the other hand PAD makes very big conflict with closed countries. they sometime take country conflict as their game. Oh very dangerous like this very bad !!!!!!! they should think about the international law and regulation first . I hate PAD group so much I want those people involved die soon as possible.
