Yingluck Encounters Whistle Blowers At Landfill Fire Scene

[Flashermac]

Three whistle blowers gave acting Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra a loud shout and whistle sound when she arrived at Phraekasa landfill site in Samut Prakan to inspect the fire situation Monday.

 

But they could not approach closer to the acting prime minister when she arrived as her body guards and security officials intercepted them, two men and a woman.

 

They shouted and blew whistle at her, and calling her to show responsibility over several cases which she and her caretaker government had done wrong.

 

Earlier before making a landing, PM Yingluck flew in a helicopter to personally view the damage of a fire that broke out at the Phraekasa landfill, which still spews plumes of toxic smoke into the atmosphere.

 

Although the fire has been put out, there remain some plumes of toxic smoke emanating from the site.

 

Thus far 1,144 persons have had to receive treatment from the toxic fumes at the Phraekasa local administration medical facilities while another 417 persons are being treated at the Wat Phraekasa temple medical center. One soldier who was part of the fire-fighting force was also injured when he fell into one of the garbage dumps at the site.

 

The PM stated after the visit that she was satisfied with the fire-fighting efforts and was even seen without a sanitary napkin over her mouth in order to reassure the public that there was no residual danger from the fumes except for some remaining unpleasant odor. Finally, she ordered that all care and aid possible be given to those who were affected by the fire.

A M79 grenade was fired into the house of People’s Democratic Reform Committee leader Suthep Thaugsuban on Buddhamonthon Sai 2 road last night and landed in the lawn behind the house and exploded.

 

Nobody was injured. It was the third time the house has been attacked with M79 grenades and the fourth grenade to land at or near the house. Ekanat Phrompan, a PDRC leader, said his mother told him of the attack at about 7.00 p.m.

Anyone notice a difference in behaviour from the two sides?
