waerth Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yes thats the way get it done! Put your most controversial partymember on the case. I am sure people will remember the way Chalerms family reconcile people with Buddha ..... http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2011/05/22/national/Yingluck-puts-Chalerm-in-charge-of-amnesty-move-30155910.html Abhisit Vejjajiva and Yingluck Shinawatra, the country's top candidates for prime minister in the July 3 election, yesterday gave voters two contrasting messages. The incumbent premier said he would start working on his existing and new policies from day one, while Yingluck pledged that her party would grant an amnesty to convicted politicians to pave the way for national reconciliation. Yingluck said the Pheu Thai Party, backed by fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra and the red shirts, would draft an amnesty bill under the stewardship of party-list MP candidate Chalerm Yoobamrung. A neutral committee would be set up to oversee the process to ensure that it was based on the rule of law and the principles of equality. Pheu Thai party-list No 1 Yingluck yesterday expressed confidence the party would win more than half of the 500 House seats and it would be ready to form the next coalition government with other parties. Speaking in Chiang Mai, the Pheu Thai's stronghold, Yingluck said the party would not discriminate against any party and would select those who have ideologies and solutions that could solve national problems. Prime Minister Abhisit, meanwhile, told supporters in Bangkok that the Democrats were more experienced than their rivals in running the country. Over the past two years, the party had implemented many policies, such as free education, allowances for senior people, subsidies for farmers, regulating motorcycle taxis, incentives for first-home buyers, and refinancing credit-card debts and high-interest private loans. If voters choose the Democrats, the party could continue and improve these policies from the very first day it takes office, but if the Pheu Thai wins the election, these policies might be scrapped. If re-elected, the party would also introduce four policies - increase the minimum wage by 25 per cent within two years, crack down on drugs, increase subsidies for farmers by 25 per cent, and increase education loans for an additional 250,000 students. While campaigning at Wat Arun, a group of red shirts held a placard with a message "What about 91 bodies?" referring to those killed in last year's government crackdown on protesters. Meanwhile, Yingluck said she was confident she would not be disqualified as an MP candidate for her alleged role in the Thaksin assets-seizure case, in which she allegedly committed perjury by testifying in court that Thaksin's assets belonged to her. "This case [Thaksin assets seizure] is related to political officer holders and is not a criminal case so it is unlikely that I will be subjected to disqualification. I have to admit that I am facing heavy pressure because politics is abnormal. I have to be patient and explain. I wish politics to be constructive and with competition over policies," she said. Yingluck also rejected criticism that having many red-shirt leaders on the Pheu Thai party-list would adversely affect national reconciliation efforts, saying problems were inevitable but the party was willing to work for the public so she hoped people would understand. Yingluck said the party had drawn up a plan to grant amnesty to all those concerned and had put Chalerm in charge of drafting an amnesty law. A neutral committee would be set up to oversee the process by adhering to the rule of law and the principle of equality. The red shirts gathered to welcome Yingluck at all places she dropped by to visit, chanting and asking her to bring Thaksin home. After paying her respect at Chiang Mai's Doi Suthep Temple, and a few other places, Yingluck took to the campaign stage at a sports stadium, where up to 5,000 people were expected to attend. She cancelled a visit to Lamphun and opted for Warorot market, where Thaksin believed the party had strong support. Yingluck said that of Chiang Mai's 10 constituencies, the party felt it had a tough fight for two. She urged local people to vote for Pheu Thai. Party leader Yongyuth Wichaidit, Chalerm and red-shirt leader Natthawut Saikua also took to the stage. They said voters could help bring Thaksin home and ensure Yingluck became Thailand's first woman PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Are Chalerm's sons on the list of hitmen under police surveillance? << While campaigning at Wat Arun, a group of red shirts held a placard with a message "What about 91 bodies?" referring to those killed in last year's government crackdown on protesters. >> What about 2,000 bodies? p.s. And why is Yingpuen painted up like a Kabuki dancer? Now that we can see more of her, we realise that previous photos have been rather flattering.

ThaiHome Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Are Chalerm's sons on the list of hitmen under police surveillance? Should be easy for the police to keep tabs on the older son Wan, as he is running for the Bang Bon constituency seat in Bangkok. TH Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
