The Pheu Thai-sponsored draft legislation seeking to provide a blanket amnesty to political offenders since the 2006 coup is on the way, says Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung.
Mr Chalerm yesterday said he had completed work on the so-called national reconciliation bill, containing six sections.
Mr Chalerm is making sure the bill has enough public support before it is tabled for parliamentary scrutiny.

BULA: Discussion 6 " Those opposed do not want to see peace, prosperity, and progress of Thailand. Of course, there is a hidden agenda of these groups. It is not about Thaksin's alleged corruptions or political convictions. How would you see peace, prosperity and progress in Thailand.. if those irresponsible people doesnt follow rule of law or supreme court guilty verdict. Like Mr. thaksin, if he chose to defend than fleeing.. and other convicted/guilty politicians who choses to flee instead filing appeal in court.. Besides, politicians makes Laws and abide with the oath taking to protect thailand.

My thai friends tell me that if TS comes back to Thailand there will be civil unrest. This place will be just like Iran and China. A dictor in control. This is the mans plan. To rule Thailand. He is just waiting for the right time. I fear for Thailand.

This government member already show his intention how Thailand should be. The last 3 south provinces want to break away from the rest of the nation because of people like Chalerm. He doesn't give a hoot about any grieve situations taking place in Thailand. His single mind is fix on TS alone.Anyone has a brain size of pea is not capable of thinking any thing beyond TS.

If BP posters represent the "tip of the iceberg" concerning all the negative emotions about TS attempts to wiggle out of facing any justice then you have to think it is a very very big iceberg and maybe TS does not really understand the depth of the opposition he faces.

Discussion 15: Just how I feel! Thailand's political scene has so many dinosaurs that Spielberg could make a Jurassic Park film with them. A few of them are so old that they can hardly walk anymore.

Forgiving wrong doing doesnt work onless the people who commit the wrong doing admit they were wrong .Thaksin never will which is why after 5 years he is still sitting in Dubai .Does he honestly think the government will get him amnesty and he will just stroll in here after dividing the country with all his red shirt rhetoric ? I think not .

If Chalerm and the PT do not like the south and the southern people then maybe they should grant the people from Pattani and other provinces independence from Thailand. If this would happen then PT’s would have an even greater majority in future elections. But maybe the next thing would be that the Bangkok people also do not want to be part of the red-shirt Thailand anymore. Maybe Chalerm and Thaksin should declare the Isarn red-shirt republic. Please build a big wall around it and never come out again!
