SEC will consider Yingluck's case

Online news:

The Securities and Exchange Commission has reversed its earlier stance of indifference and decided to look into the allegation of false reporting of share transactions by Yingluck Shinawatra.

“The SEC is not being pressured into this,” secretary-general Thirachai Phuvanatnaranubala hastened to say on Monday.

Earlier the SEC said it was not considering the allegations against Pheu Thai's top party-list candidate.

Disc 18 - The two PAD leaders who say they have clear evidence have yet to show any. That in itself says it all.

We should reconstruct the Judicial Branch of the privileged classes' people again.
The Thai Judicial system until now is the unfair system. They are not a true law court.
All people should respect the result of the election. It is a true democracy.

englishbob D17 - "she has no feasible policies"
Her policy of job training to increase the skills of Thailands workforce, and hence both wages and international competitiveness, I think is a good idea. Her idea of a reconciliation committee, which invites the Dems, PAD, UDD, military, PTP, and other stakeholders to hold mutual talks to achieve reconciliation is a good idea. The special administration zone in the south has a lot of potential in solving the southern violence, as well.

englishbob D17 - YS has publicly said she will comply with any investigation and hand over all evidence requested. However no investigation or trial can occur until she is charged. The two PAD leaders who say they have clear evidence has held several press talks with the media, making claims, but have never filed charges. To a UDD supporter, this comes off as politically motivated - with no intention of allowing YS a chance to defend herself.

All of which STILL doesn't detract from the point that a PM should be investigated for wrong doings.
You say you want a 'change for Thailand' and a 'new form of politics' and then seem to be getting behind a woman who promises more of the same.

She has no track record (please don't tell me about her job again - Thailand is not a company), she has no feasible policies (the rice minimum price is a disaster), she is bribing stupid people (Seriously? Credit cards and debt moratoriums?) and her ONE big idea is to bring back Thaksin and return 46 billion baht to him. How is any of this going to help Thailand?

englishbob D14 - "Perjury IS illegal because it's lying under oath."
Perjury is illegal - and immoral - I fully agree. However perjury, ie lying to a court of law, isn't a violation of any SEC law. Perjury also isn't a violation of any EC law. Under the criminal code perjury is a civil, not criminal offense, and is under the jurisdiction of the civil courts - but she has yet to be charged with perjury. According to the constitution, a civil offense is not a reason to disqualify a PM candidate (only criminal offences).

Disc 8 - You appear to have the facts well mixed with in your emotions. Yingluck never testified in court. She answered questions, not under oath, to the committee before trial. The court decided that because the shares were not fully paid for they were still legally in Thaksin's possession even though they were sold to Yingluck. They found that she did nothing wrong in the buying of them and that she thought she was the owner (she declared them as assets for tax purposes). A legal technicality was all it was.

Yingluck wasn't investigated. Her brother was.
HE was cleared, no-one accused his sister of perjury - then. But then she wasn't trying to lead the country.

JohninBKK - Lying isn't illegal. If it were, every single MP - and person - in the world would be in prison. Perjury IS illegal because it's lying under oath. Don't cherry-pick incidents as easy to shoot down as this.

YOU seem to be the only UDD supporter who offers up some worthy points (on occasion!).

Now you can see why the reds fell they were justified to burn the city...If the DP and military establishment order up yet another court verdict I fear Thailand's largest crisis is near...Bangkok could become just like the south of Thailand.
Everyone including myself said the DP would not give up power and we were absolutely right.

The case against YL cant be that serious if it is only under consideration.
