Thaksin denies he's off to Cambodia

Fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra early on Friday denied a media report that he will go to Cambodia to celebrate Loy Krathong and to thank Cambodian leader Hun Sen for his promise not to allow his extradition to Thailand.

“I will not go to Cambodia and will stay here in a Muslim country,” Thaksin said on his twitter@thaksinlive website.

The ex-premier said that from Nov 1 he will be able to directly contact Thai people via SMS. “If you want to discuss economic matters, lock on to 'follow' in 'thaksinbiz'.''

Regarding his loss of his police rank, Thaksin said it was now clear that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is a supporter of the People’s Alliance for Democracy.

Citing Puea Thai MP for Samut Prakarn Pracha Prasopdee, most local dailies reported on Friday morning that Thaksin will on Nov 2 travel by his personal jet to Cambodia.

Mr Abhisit on Thursday reaffirmed that if Thaksin does turn up in Cambodia his government would seek his extradition.

    Why are you asking Thaksin to go back to Thailand to clear off charges against him? You should know that the people in power in Thailand are waiting to slaughter him. You can't just bark and bully other people because you are in power. Thailand should be thankful for what Thaksin has done. I lived in Thailand five years, I thank Thaksin for his leadership.

    I just wonder who is going to slaughter Abbhisit after he loses his power. Thailand is full of pride and jealousy.

    More lies from this dishonest crafty man. Remember he declared he was finished with politics? "Enough is enough" he said. That turned out to be all lies. Just watch, soon the liar will be living in Cambodia.

    Mr. Thaksin said:-
    “I will not go to Cambodia and will stay here in
    a Muslim country,” Thaksin said on his twitter@thaksinlive website".

    Our View:-
    An Ex PM should not make talk or Twitter or racial statements like this. He is attracting sympathy or what.


    Mr. Thaksin Said:-
    The ex-premier said that from Nov 1 he will be able to directly contact Thai people via SMS. “If you want to discuss economic matters, lock on to 'follow' in 'thaksinbiz'.''

    Our View:-
    What we want is Thaksin should come to Thailand and clear himself of many charges on him. After Thaksin clears the charges, we will certainly discuss all matters. We are all looking for good governance. We are not looking for cash overnight.

    Thaksin said:-
    Regarding his loss of his police rank, Thaksin said it was now clear that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is a supporter of the People’s Alliance for Democracy.

    Our View:-
    Its never the PM who ever it may be will remove the ranks. A person who holds such rank should be wise enough to maintain the ranks decorated on him. Thaksin mind allways run only on cash money and Absolute power, and make his own law.
    Thailand existed long long time before Thaksin became priminister. It has risen from dust to what is today. Today the country is run with law and order as the first priority.

    Thaksin has to stop all these intimidation, Pity attraction, and using other country leaders for his own purpose. Thaksin has to come and clear himself of the charges first. There are many more other than Land purchase.
    Even if PTP wins election, its a requirement, that he should clear himself.
