Revealing 7 dangers: The ‘Pae Thong Than’ government will continue to rule the country with difficulty.

21 August 2024 – Mr Panthep Puapongphan, Dean of the Eastern College of Medicine. Rangsit University We posted a message on Facebook about 7 threats from Pae Thongthan Shinawatra’s government with the following content:

1. Risk of buildings Prime Minister and Ministers
Appointing the Cabinet The Cabinet must be appointed. That you have demonstrable honesty and integrity in accordance with Section 160 (4) of the Constitution and that you have no conduct that seriously violates or does not comply with ethical standards. Pursuant to Article 160 (5) of the Constitution, the Prime Minister undertakes to comply with this standard.
It means that the suspected dishonest cabinet is obvious. or you have behavior that seriously violates or fails to comply with ethical standards. If there is a risk that he will be appointed as a minister This would end the ministry of Ms Paethongtarn Shinawatra according to the Constitution, Section 170, paragraph one (4), reiterated by the former Prime Minister Mr. Settha Thavisin.
Therefore, the Prime Minister has announced each political party’s list of ministers today. To submit to the order to examine the qualifications of “each field” according to Article 160 of the Constitution regarding the qualifications of ministers.
In particular, ethical standards and honesty are evident. To show honesty as seen by the Prime Minister himself. Even though it may create dissatisfaction with some MPs to the point that they may have to split parties and move. But I believe that in the end it will be understandable for all political parties in “It is the Prime Minister who must be directly responsible to “reduce the threat” to the status of the person – career.
Regarding Miss Paetongthan Shinawatra’s case, will she be disqualified or not? It is unlikely that it can be easily determined in the past in terms of education and tests in the past childhood.
But Ms. Pae Thongthan Shinawatra owns property in the Alpine Golf Course Land Company, which is church land. The Supreme Court ordered on 12 February 2020 not to accept the application of Mr Yongyuth Wichaidit, Acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior. As a result, Mr. Yongyut Wichaidit was sentenced to 2 years in prison for using his power to benefit Pol. Hoping to be appointed to a senior position later.
It seems that cases like this will continue to be a threat to the minister’s credentials, which will inevitably be compared. With the judgment of the Supreme Court in the black case number Khom Jor 1/2021 from Ms. Preena Kraikupt who received an inheritance from her father who illegally occupied and used government land. The Supreme Court ordered on 25 March 2021 that Ms Preena Kraikupt ceases to perform her duties. And later, the Supreme Court issued a judgment on April 6, 2022, revoking the right to vote for 10 years and revoking the right to apply for election for the plaintiffs forever. According to the Constitution, Section 235, paragraph four, and the National Anti-Corruption Act 2018, Sections 81, 87, and the ethical standards of judges of the Constitutional Court and independent bodies, Section 3, Section 17, together with Section 27, paragraph two.
The question that arose in relation to the submission of a list of cabinet ministers to the order to examine the qualifications of “each bracket” of ministers in accordance with Article 160 of the Constitution, is whether Ms Paetongthan Shinawatra brave enough to question the order on the credentials of the Prime Minister from the issue of Alpine shares too or not? If you choose to choose? “Abandon the duty” without asking the order on his own affairs. It will be confirmed that the characteristics of Mr. Settha Thaweesin are repeated in already known cases. But is the honesty still evident?

2. Threats to the House of Representatives system There is a risk that the challenge led by the People’s Party would result in revoking voting rights. or deprivation of political rights of members of the House of Representatives of the People’s Party, 44 persons from cases where they had previously signed their names To repeal and amend the Criminal Code, Section 112
And as for the risk of announcing donations to the People’s Party, there are legal risks in many dimensions that are difficult to overcome.
At the same time, the Electoral Commission is in danger of being sued for allowing the party to move forward in campaigning for policies related to the King.
Both of the above It shows the dangers not only to the system in the House of Representatives, to the opposition and to the government. But they also face risks in the system for electing members to the House of Representatives.

3. A threat to the Pheu Thai Party’s iconic policy of adding digital wallets that could be politically tainted because it breaks the social contract. (By the Shinawatra family themselves) or if they continue in the same way, there may be a danger to the law and even a danger of being jailed as well.
While the policy that Ms. Pae Thongthan Shinawatra campaigned for. People must demand the policy to reduce energy prices “immediately” whether it can be done or not.
When you look at it, you see only decline and dangers ahead. which cannot be avoided

4. Threats to the security of the main institutions of the country, such as efforts to solve the issue of moving military commanders through political power. And the attempt to fight to change Section 112 of the Criminal Code for the benefit of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra is a real threat against the people. That could lead to the danger of a coup.

5. Risks in policies that may be related to the interests of the Shinawatra family, such as energy source areas that claim maritime rights between Thailand and Cambodia. Or implementing an amnesty law for Ms. Yingluck Shinawatra. If she does not move forward, she will be rejected. But there are certainly political and legal risks in moving forward.

6. Threats in all cases of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, including not being imprisoned for even one day. It is illegal to wear white clothes. or commit an offense under Section 112 of the Criminal Code These cases constitute a threat. It is like a chain hanging around Thaksin’s neck and mocking him. Shinawatra or not, and when, no one knows. And will he continue to push for amnesty for cases under Section 112 of the Criminal Code for Thaksin’s benefit?
While Ms. Paetongthan Shinawatra was the Prime Minister Will he rely on his power to complete the process which is neglect of duty or wrong performance of duty for the benefit of his own father or not?

7.Risk from the economic crisis situation both from the increase of housing debt The government debt has increased. Stomach problems are fixed Energy prices continue to rise. Gradually closing industrial plants Competition for trade and real trade protectionism from foreign countries
But there are also important issues related to geopolitical conflict. which is in danger of becoming a global conflict or war
Ms. Paethongtan Shinawatra is the Prime Minister and her team will have the vision and ability to overcome the volatile economic crisis. Can it change quickly? Especially the provision of food security Energy and medicine, etc.

Check out the 7 risk situations mentioned above. Thailand will continue to run the country with difficulty. and very difficult And is there a risk that a new prime minister will be needed to succeed Ms Paethongtarn Shinawatra?

With best regards
