Talk to Jazeera - Thaksin Shinawatra - Jan 07 - Part 2

[funnygames1]

You can always tell when Thaksin is lying...his lips move. What an unpleasant, greedy little toad he is. All those rural Thais who are now happy to give him his 46 billion baht back. Pitiful.

[TheShippy]

i love him

[vikingswinsuperbowl]

I wish you Peace Thailand. you have a very beatutiful country. It was an honor and privalge to visit your great land.

[GodWasDog]

THAKSIN BEST FOR RED SHIT BUT WORST IN THE WORLD TOP FIVE OF VILLAIN LEADERS

[vikingswinsuperbowl]

I am from USA and was wondering how come everyone is mean to Thaksin?

[Boriratrit]

@vikingswinsuperbowl He's attempting to overthrow the king.

[psrinual]

i want to say this im thai. and many peole in here r retard. thaksin is evil and corrapt. he won election because of buying vote and trick uneducated people. many people in here retard do tell us u shitty idea. few people can persecute thanksin. but if u persecute him u can be assasinated.

[mrrojntshavhmoob]

thaksin was a good PM he cares for the poor and the country paid off thai's debt,but one thing he doesn't know is that thai land is ruled by the white ppl,not thai ppl,white ppl will divide and conquer thai land,so they had to destroy good leader and put bad leader to run the country,white men call thaksin to a meeting and call thai to coup and block his way home,now white ppl not allow him to stay any where in those countries,white ppl will destroy thai land and blame for thaksin,just watch.

[krongtheep]

Thaksin is an honorable man of his word and he is gentlemen. He cares for the the rural poor folks and help them. What did upper class ass holes like Abjshit do? He is only warming the chair in office and talking shit. They cannot understand the countryside poor people, only Thaksin can. Long Live Thaksin.

[sainam9]

Thaksin Shinawatra, He is the best Thai Prim minister  in Thailand ever have.

[MrFUCKTAKSIN]

Taksin is a horrible TERRORIST++USA UK GMY and lots of countries are NOT welcome him. Taksin will DIE on a lonely island for which nobody cares. 555

F*UK YOU, TAKSIN

[mang80]

this is tragedy of Thai nation, worst ever PM. of Thai's history

[1979eye]

thaksin go to the hell! ค

[kitbumt]

The worst PM for thailand ever.

[pammy2010able]

from wikipedia "On Monday January 23, 2006, the Shinawatra-family sold its remaining 49.6% stake in Shin Corporation, a leading Thai telecommunications company, to two nominees of Temasek Holdings (Cedar Holdings and Aspen Holdings). The Shinawatra and Damapong (Potjaman's maiden name) families netted about 73 billion baht (about $1.88 billion). Following Thai tax laws, they did not have to pay capital gains tax."

[pammy2010able]

You love to make your life better by corruption! You love Thailand but you do not pay tax after you sale your company( 20,000 million bahts!!) This means that you do not love Thailand at all!

[frogjumpy]

Love Taksin.

[nititorn959]

คนทรยศ เชื่อไม่ได้ มันตอแหล

[chr5210]

Thaksin Shinawatra is a damn traitor!

[siamesek]

@chr5210 couldn't have said it better.

[thainish2005]

no matter what .. i still like him .....

[barthoedemaker]

You have to use iron fist. Very right Thaksin.

[thanaka0arm]

แล้วเค้าทำอย่างนั้นจริงเหรอ

ประเทศไทยอยู่มาได้จนถึงทุกวันน­ี้

เพราะทักษิณเหรอ คิดเอาใหญ่แล้ว

[sih1688]

I would like to know how thak sin make billions US$ in such a short times, and his young son is one of the big shareholder of a bank. Please tell us your secret, Mr Sin since your business checks were bounced before you became politician. Your secret to be a billionaire will benefit people around the world.

[stokes738]

You didnt quit you were ousted... If you love your country why did you rob it of billions you snake rename Thai rak Thai as Natzi Party

[tanakorn111]

how thai people hate the king . he has done lots for thais

[JanAnn23]

@tanakorn111

They are brainwashed by Thugsin. He uses a lot of propaganda and money here.

[barthoedemaker]

@JanAnn23 you mean brainwashed by your " beloved " king..

[JanAnn23]

@barthoedemaker

Reigning for six decades, my BELOVED king has contributed many benefits and royal projects to Thai citizens while Thug+SIN governed as well as corruptedThailand for five years employing populist campaigns to deceive poor people. BTW, I don't know how to describe the relationship between the king and we, theThai citizen to a foreingner like you. Go and do some research before criticising on others. Best Regards.

[barthoedemaker]

@JanAnn23 I did a library full of research, and I know WHY you love your King. Doesn't take away the fact he opresses freedom of speech.

[Ecstacykelz]

ฺีBullshit

[PetchOnSunday]

Thaksin you're full of crap !

I pity you.

[Soksabai79]

Ahbishit is using his army to steal Thaksin money and Cambodia Preah Vihear to complete his Thai King 35 billions dollars before he goes down to hell to meet his Nazi hero.

[barthoedemaker]

Son, the only one who's lying here is your goverment and beloved King. Why still poverty 2010? Explain please?

[corruptthaihater]

Thaksin is ranting and raving like a lunatic in this interview. He lies through his teeth time after time, and gives answers not even related to the questions!!

I have heard there is a plot to have him assasinated. It would be the best thing that could happen to Thailand if it were true.

Thaksin is pure evil.

Long Live the King!!

[t0mmmmmy]

You can say what you want, but this guy is a genious. He is an amazing actor.

[2551bali]

Thanks Veronica & AlJazeera,

Khun Thaksin should prepare for the NEW Gold based financial platform, and stay away from politics. Let me explain: As the (majority) elected official he should work together with UN-OITC and the new

(world) financial regulator to recapitalize Thailand, eradicate people's debt/poverty, establish "green" industries, free the

people from "greedy" elements in the present system. Good luck Khun Thaksin.

[narithchann]

thaksin is the best PM ever..... screw yellow shirt bullshits king...

[prisanahh1]

Bullshit... you love only you and yourself Thaksin. The most stupid interview i ever seen this tv program must be paid by him. FAKE!!

[kannika12]

The first and only ex-prime minister who is now serving a man who rules the country for over 30years! People of this country known darn well that the richest family of the country is their dictator! Where is your dignity, Taksin. You better not to step feeth at the Birth's Land of King Naresuan who sacrificed a lot to bring back our dignity! You were soldier before you had learnt lots of History of what this country had done to our descendents of Siam!

[KhmerSerey1]

thailand is no longer indebt because of thaksin...

[SatMaNaHeeChakri]

By the Thai law article 107, Rama IX must be executed for killing a Thai king, doesn't it?

[melyeaw267091]

The worst interviewer I have ever seen.

[antpoo]

oh boy i have to do assignment on this guy, yet i cant tell if he was really good or bad. i see the country people love him, yet the city people hate him. The media hated him, and is this why so many people think he is corrupt? because of elite propaganda?

he seems like a genuine and caring person.

[Thaitok91]

fake!!!!!!!!

liar - -

[barthoedemaker]

He should have ruled harder, he's right you have to use FORCE to get things done sometimes. Not everything can be done with just politics.

[kimora1976]

thaksin u don't love Thailand....you want to own thailand

[princegemmo16]

Can anyone in Thailand tell me of what kinf of Leader is Thaksin coz in the Philippines he is considered as good ally of the government during his ministerial era.

[prin077]

Dictator!!

[TommyRoxx69]

Go live somewhere else, Dickhead!!!

You can stick your democracy up your butt-hole for all I care...and yeh take those red-shirts goons with you too.

[LekTK2500]

Hey Thaksin, I'm not your people. I belong to my country. Stupid Liar.

[naloto]

[sukhum99]

[yulee1]

[raklakyim]

[jobo2s]

Majority of Thailand love you Thaksin !

WE LOVE YOU !

WE NEED YOU FOR THE GOOD OF THAILAND AND THAI PEOPLE !

THAKSIN IS THE HERO OF THAILAND !

[nwathan]

Thaksin is a fake, liar, and king of all corruptions.

คำว่า "อยากเห็นบ้านเมืองสงบ" ตามภาษาแม้ว แปลเป็น

ภาษาไทยว่า "อยากให้ประชาชนหุบปาก" คือ ปล่อยให้

พรรคหุ่นเชิดของตนนำพาประเทศชาต­ิไปทางไหนก็ได้

รวมทั้งการพยายามที่จะยกแผ่นดิน­ให้เขมรเพื่อแลกเปลี่ยน

กับผลประโยชน์ทางธุรกิจของตน

[thaifreeking]

ในหลวงคือเผด็การตัวจริง ผู้อยู่เบื้องหลักทำลายประชาธิป­ไตยของชาติ

[geegeebear]

is true....เขาว่ากันว่า.... ......เอาหมอไปอยู่การคลัง เอาหมูไปเป็นสาธารณะสุข เอากระบือไปเป็นมหาดไทย เอาตัวจันไลไปเป็นต่างประเทศ เอาพวกอาเพศไปเป็นยุติธรรม ไอ้คนระยำไปอยู่ศึกษา แล้วคนปากหมามาเป็นนายก เอาพวกนรกเป็นเลขา เอากระเทย นะฮ้า มาคุมสื่อ.... แล้วบ้านเมืองมันจะเจริญได้ยังไ­ง...

[me27119]

เป็นไงล่ะ ไอลดรายจ่าย 4 เท่าเพิ่มรายได้ 4 เท่า มันทำได้อย่างที่พูดไหมล่ะ นโยบายดีๆใครก็พูดได้ คำนี้จะเด้งกลับเข้าตัวเองแล้ว

[Jakapob]

นายจักรภพ ยืนยันว่า การกระทำความผิดโดยตั้งใจ หรือเจตนานั้นไม่มี ยืนยันได้ ปฏิเสธล่วงหน้าได้ว่าไม่มีเจตนา­จงใจทำผิด และไม่เชื่อว่าได้เกิดความผิดนี­้จริง แต่ขณะเดียวกันต้องฟัง เพื่อดูเนื้อหาว่ามีตรงไหนทำให้­เกิดความเข้าใจผิดได้บ้าง ส่วนที่ถามว่าเมื่อครั้ง นปก. ปราศรัย อาจจะมีการโจมตีระบอบอำมาตยาธิป­ไตย ทำให้พาดพิงไปถึงได้นั้น ขอกบอกว่าการวิพากษ์วิจารณ์ระบอ­บอำมาตยาธิปไตย ไม่เกี่ยวกับสถาบันพระมหากษัตริ­ย์ เป็นเรื่องระบอบราชการที่มีผลปร­ะโยชน์เฉพาะกลุ่ม ไม่เกี่ยวกับเบื้องบนเบื้องสูง

[me27119]

แล้วควรแก้ไขยังไงดี ในหลวงควรดูแลลูกน้องดีกว่านี้ง­ั้นหรือ คือที่พยายามจะให้แก้

[kumgling]

เขาว่ากันว่า.... ......เอาหมอไปอยู่การคลัง เอาหมูไปเป็นสาธารณะสุข เอากระบือไปเป็นมหาดไทย เอาตัวจันไลไปเป็นต่างประเทศ เอาพวกอาเพศไปเป็นยุติธรรม ไอ้คนระยำไปอยู่ศึกษา แล้วคนปากหมามาเป็นนายก เอาพวกนรกเป็นเลขา เอากระเทย นะฮ้า มาคุมสื่อ....

แล้วบ้านเมืองมันจะเจริญได้ยังไ­ง...

[kumgling]

เหม็นสาบควายว่ะ! ...มึงนี่โง่จิง หรือแกล้งโง่วะ ...ฮุ่ยๆ ..ฮุ่ย!

[KmaenLaiKwai]

if kwai know what's best for the country and you don't know that...damn!! you must be dumber than kwai! I feel sorry for you.

[kumgling]

if better economy is at the cost of the nation, Thailand is doomed! ..i'm not against good economy, but don't rape the nation as you're running it! don't be sorry for me, but do feel sorry for our country!

[KmaenLaiKwai]

I think you sooo against Taksin because he so rich and he's happened to be from Chiangmai, which I call Lao Chiangmai.

[menkeechang]

Small man, big crimes, big ego, small chance, big karma.

[KmaenLaiKwai]

cyberak...you seem to be a smart person..ask yourself this "IS THAILAND BETTER OFF NOW WITHOUT TAKSIN?" If your answer is YES you're in denial the country is in a worse situation and what did the junta do to improve the country, NOTHING! and you know why...it's because they don't what the hell they were doing. This the first time i've ever heard some of farmers in the north eastern of Thailand wanted to move to Laos because lives were horrible and cause of the junta.

[me27119]

I would say that Thailand is still a whole right now is better than broken into two. If Thaksin stays, I'm sure there will be no more peace in Thailand. The Junta is here only to solve the corruption and the turmoil problem, and I think they did well. During Thaksin's reign, It's the frist time I saw many Bangkokers vote no for any PM. cause of Thaksin and his corruption.

[KmaenLaiKwai]

I know this is not a good time for you...because PPP won, but that's mojority of thais's choice and you have to accept it and move on, it's time to unite and make Thai's economy prosperous again. Please no more coup! peace......!!

[hoysiab]

Kmaen, you may enjoy Samak and the lot for now. Hey, it wouldn't be long before another election comes along. By then, watch out for the silent majority (I'm one of them!).

Go ahead and enjoy your soap opera. ....They can't fool me!

[hoysiab]

Kmaen, you may enjoy Samak and the lot for now. Hey, it wouldn't be long before another election comes along. By then, watch out for the silent majority (I'm one of them!).

Go ahead and enjoy your soap opera. ....They can't fool me!

[KmaenLaiKwai]

Yes! I'm absolutely agree with you if you don't like the political party in power right now just wait for next election, but in the mean time you have accept the fact that PPP won, was chosen by majority of Thais and you have to understand that majority rules.

[hoysiab]

yeah, but out of curiosity, since you are a a Cambodian, it's our internal matter, why get involved? ...don't tell me you are one of Nevin's, the most famous vote buyer!

[hoysiab]

if you happen to be a cambodian thai, hope you are happy with the cost of living going up now that your lot is in power!

now that pork is over 100 baht a kg., take your pm advice, eat chicken bones soup instead of pork! ..Is that the best solution he can come up with? ...poor thais! now we are in the hands of pig's face, dog's mouth with ant's brain! ...serves you right!

[KmaenLaiKwai]

yeah...it's because of the coup, since then, the economy is in a bad shape. The junta ran the country for 14 months what were the improvements? None! made it worse and you expect the PPP to perform miracle in 2 months you got to be kidding me.

[KmaenLaiKwai]

Who do you want me to be? I can be Thai, Laotian, Cambodian, or American. If you don't want others to express their opinions regarding your country's internal affair, then, don't post it on Youtube. Who the heck is Nevin anyway?

[ekacha]

They are not kids. They are terrorists who died by junta's heavy hands.

[cyberak]

Khun Ekachai aka Ekacha - As Special News Editor for Channel 3 do you really believe that it is correct to kill people without trial?? Can you really say that you never provide propaganda services? and why did you introduce me to Jazz Communications saying that there was a job to help bring peace when it is simply not true. Did Thailand Longstay not make false promises in order to try and promote Thaksin??

[xmeaw]

Here again, it's someone who never looked ahead what Thaksin did with the selling of business subsidized from government to other countries. It's true that he didn't have to pay Tax for selling stocks. It's also true that he did not express any sympathy toward the poor people (from whom he expected votes) by returning something to the country.

[devoteeofram]

Thais are learning monarchy don't go along with democracy.

[ekacha]

Thaksin is a good man and the best Thai Prime Minister ever. Since Thailand has been taken over by the evil junta almost a year ago, Thai people have experienced hardship and have no more political liberties. Help Thailand please!

[foreveryoung62]

The man's a liar. He had his chance at power and he made a mess of it furthering his personal agenda and enriching himself and his family by manipulating every law and using bullying tactics over his opponents. He does not understand the true meaning of fairness or democracy. It's a pathetic attempt by him to portray himself as a victim and look like being on higher moral ground.

[ekacha]

At least, he is better than the junta who always oppress people's liberties. Thaksin is a true politician. What do you want, a monk or religious man to be the leader of the country or a politician who know how to serve the people and so shrewd to get thing done.

[foreveryoung62]

Appreciate your views and please note that you're able to express them here and many people do so freely in the pages of bangkok post and the nation daily. Your love for people's liberties is just and fully legitimate. Thaksin, unfortunately failed to further people's liberties in the true sense. He opressed opposing views with threats and law suits that would ruin the person forever.

[foreveryoung62]

Thaksin destroyed any democratic institutions that came in the way of his personal plans to install a one man rule and if he had not been stopped would have wrecked this nation's fabric of individual thought just like the first family of singapore has done over the decades.

[foreveryoung62]

What's needed is grassroots level education campaign (Thailand's saddest reality is it's very poor education structure and system) and the development of democratic INSTITUTIONS that weather the test of time and ensure development of individuals and philosophies simultaneously for long term beterment of the populace. These things don't happen in a heartbeat and usually take over a generation.

[ekacha]

One of grassroots' family told me since the junta took over the country, they cut off the budget for supplement the education fund for the the students of poor family. Normally under Thaksin administration, the student of poor family got subsidized education fund for 3,000 Baht per a year

[me27119]

Oh! you means the 3,000 Baht they get every year during election?

[foreveryoung62]

What Mr. Thaksin was aimimg for was anything but that and would have taken the country permanently backwards.Certain institutions like the judiciary and press need to be above the offices of the elected officials (that Mr Thaksin keeps repeating he was) and should function independently and with integrity. Thaksin had no such plans and probably no clue as to their value.

[ekacha]

That sounds like Thai junta's propaganda.

[cyberak]

Khun Ekachai - do you , Colonel Ruamnakorn, Royal Network Television or Channel 3 make propaganda for Thaksin? Did Channel 3 arrange roses for Thaksin on Valentine's ?

[me27119]

It's not Thai junta's propaganda, but it's the fact about Thaksin.

[foreveryoung62]

Any patriotic thai should be thankful that we were saved from the meglomaniac with dictatorial ambitions.Thailand's got a long way to go and the way forward is thru education for all and strong institutions that preserve and further the common citizen's needs and rights.Thais deserve a lot more than a lying egotistical man who thinks he should have 100 % power and control so that he can make zillions. He is a good buisnessman but a poor politician and a dismal national leader.

[ekacha]

Right now, the Thais live without Thaksin, they've found hardship by standard of living and have no resources to improve their education, health care or even human right ideas. Thailand is going back into dark age under bureaucratic and junta administration. Bravo!

[me27119]

Why do we always have to rely so much on the government to pay for our education and health care? I want to ask you one thing that how does selling lottery, giving out free things,and sell house at lower cost to get people in debt improve the living standard? These project only have short-term effect unlike encouraging people to stand on themselves.

[KmaenLaiKwai]

I agree with you 100 percent....the junta ruined the economy that's the fact!

[kumgling]

He meant THUG-SIN, stupid!

[KmaenLaiKwai]

if you think the economy is better after the coup...you must be out of your damn mind. well, I can't argue with an idiot it'll get no where.

[me27119]

Why not look for a PM who is both good and active? If the candidate is corrupted, then don't choose him. If the candidate is bad-mouth, then don't choose him. If the candidate is inactive, then don't choose him. It's us who decide the future of Thailand

[undonebusiness]

@me27119 nice talk, mike.

[Littlebirdee]

Mr. Thaksin, it was the king who was behind the coup because he afraid you will become the first President of Thailand. There should be no more Monarchy in the world. How dare the Thai king called himselft as my Hindu God, RAMA? It's also insulted to Buddhist people: PraBhudaLuang, PraChaoYouhua of Thai Monks. He is a real Buddhist, 555!

[toonandton]

ถึงไอ้หมาทักษิณ...คิดถึงเมืองไ­ทย...รีบกลับมาเมืองไทยซิ

ไปตอแหลสุมหัวอยู่เมืองนอกทำไม.­..คุกไม่ได้มีไว้ขังหมานะ

[Chhaylin]

He looks like a mad man, not smart at all...

Disguising his evil I think.

Just one of psychopathic personalities who's in the top of government or companies.

[thaitel]

the best leader of thailand ever.

[deemaak]

Thaksin, I love you. Thank you for everything. You have help Thailand and Thai people so much.

[beersingha3]

Will you belive him???

[ekacha]

Yes,at least better than believing the Junta.

[cyberak]

Thaksin brought death and trouble, the Junta have freed the Thai people from Genocide like Tak Bai and Krue Se where innocent moslems were slaughtered under the Thaksin regime
