Parliament, "Kittisak" admits to being disappointed after "Thaksin" did not have to go to jail for even one day. Received a suspended sentence and returned home to Chansongla. Pointed out as a wonder of the world I believe I'm not really sick. Worried about causing violent conflict among the people Corrections - Minister of Justice must be responsible Aiming to debate the government Mr. Kittisak Rattanawaraha, member of the Senate (Senator), mentioned the case of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former prime minister. received a suspended sentence and After leaving prison and staying at Ban Chansongla, he said he felt tired. He has already said that Mr. Thaksin will be a miracle of the world that will be recorded in this world. Think of doing good and doing bad even if other people don't know. But your own heart must know. is to go to hell alive Mr. Thaksin must have already received this karma. I think the general public If your mind is truly fair and impartial, you will know that Mr. Thaksin is not really sick. I emphasize that I am not really sick. But they claim that Mr. Thaksin came here according to the law. The people who claim this must be verified. The obvious one is the Department of Corrections and the Minister of Justice,' Mr. Kittisak said. 'The case of Mr. Thaksin People must follow that in the case where the court decides, there will not be a single day of imprisonment. Do you think this is fair to the 200,000 prisoners currently in prison? Some people were imprisoned because they were poor and stole things, but Mr. Thaksin had a case where the court ruled that he was dishonest and fled abroad for 16-17 years and came back and didn't have to go to jail for a day. He asked the people: Is Mr. Thaksin's case truly a miracle of the world? And if Mr. Thaksin still acts above the law here I am worried about the country and how much conflict and violence among the people there will be. I can't decide anything. But I see that conflicts have already begun, so I can accuse Mr. Thaksin of creating the problem. It c reates division among Thai people throughout the country,' Mr. Kittisak said. Mr. Kittisak said he had talked with fellow senators and members of the committee. Senate politics that Mr. Thaksin is one of the issues that will definitely be discussed. But you must be careful about legal issues, infringement or defamation. But I think that if I come to do my duty here, I shouldn't be worried. Because in the case of people breaking the law If we don't mention it at all, we shouldn't be performing our duties here. As for if Thaksin were to play a role or participate in the administration of the country, Mr. Kittisak asked whether Thailand already lacked good people. And I would like to ask if Thailand can't survive without Mr. Thaksin. He agreed that Thai people who are not Mr. Thaksin must help take care of the country. Come solve the country's problems. But if a prisoner who had been on the run for more than 10 years was brought back, he would not have to go to prison for even a day to run the country. He stil l cannot see where foreign countries or Thailand will go. As for how you view many ministers saying they will go and pay respects to Mr. Thaksin? Mr. Kittisak said that we cannot violate our ideas. The love of people especially politics I can tell you that there are no true friends or permanent enemies. Whoever goes to pay homage, whoever bows to whom is their right. But for Senator Kittisak, he will only pay respects to good people. There is only morality. As for the view that there are now 2 prime ministers after Mr. Thaksin left the police hospital. Mr. Kittisak Said that it was a miracle for Thailand and that he thought there were more than two people because there was another Miss Paethongthan Shinawatra or Ong Ing who thought it was a miracle for Thailand. 'Think that heaven is in your chest, hell is in your heart. Anyone who does wrong, others don't know. Heaven knows, and from the beginning He did not put a price on Mr. Settha (Taweesin) because he thought he became Prime Minister by dropping a som or winning a 3-wheeler in the lottery or whatever. And even more today, when Thaksin is here, Mr. Settha will be a star without light,' Mr. Kititsak Said. Source: Thai News Agency
