Admin_2 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 For a second, I thought that I had clicked on the wrong bookmark, but no...this is not from nothenation. This is from the Bangkok Post. "Thousands of professional media organisations, government agencies, the military, civic groups and business people have joined the "Stop hurting Thailand" campaign, urging political groups to end bickering that is causing social divisions. The campaign was initiated by 21 organisations including the Thai Journalists Association, the King Prajadhipok Institute and peace advocacy groups. The 21 organisations yesterday led a crowd of peace advocates dressed in white in a parade from King Rama VI statue in front of Lumpini Park along Silom Road to Bangkok Bank's headquarters. Joining the parade were Borwornsak Uwanno, secretary general of the King Prajadhipok Institute, and his deputy Wuthisarn Tanchai, Prime Minister's Office Minister Sathit Wongnongtoey, Senate Speaker Prasopsuk Boonyadet, TJA president Prasong Lertratanawisut and singer Add Carabao. Bangkok Bank president Chartsiri Sophonpanich joined the crowd when the parade reached his bank's headquarters. TJA secretary general Pradit Ruangdit read a campaign statement asking all political groups to end their incitement of violent clashes between different groups and stop insulting the monarchy or claiming connections to the monarchy for political reasons. The statement called for government authorities to act in an open and sincere manner while urging journalists to stringently adhere to their codes of ethics and abstain from exploiting their media outlets for political purposes. It urged the public to support the campaign by raising the national flag in front of their homes. Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and civic authorities in other provinces also held activities to promote the "Stop hurting Thailand" campaign. In Bangkok, the BMA backed the campaign at City Hall and its branch office in Din Daeng, and at the 50 district offices. The armed forces also joined the campaign. At army headquarters, about 2,000 officers led by Lt-Gen Sant Jariyajirawattana of the Office of the Commander paraded with national flags. About 1,000 marines from the Royal Thai Marine Corps lined up along a 2km stretch of Sukhumvit Road, in Chon Buri province, in front of their headquarters to show their support for the campaign. Red shirt leaders also gave their support. In Udon Thani, Kwanchai Sarakham, also known as Praipana, leader of Khon Rak Udon (Love Udon People), led a group of 800 red shirt supporters for a "Stop hurting Thailand" demonstration at Udon Thani city hall. Leaders of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship in Bangkok backed the sentiments of the campaign but warned the government not to use it to serve its own political interests."

Admin_2 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 A fellow TF'er has just told me that a mob is moving in on Silom, and the military has closed Sala Daeng. If you can, avoid that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melted012345 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 As Khun Pravit from The Nation mentioned yesterday at FCCT, this new rally is a disgrace and unbelievable idiotic thing from Thai journalists and Thai military which were open in their support for "good coup" and did the "good coup". "Coup is a form of violence so participating in this sort of campaign makes one dumbfounded" to quote him directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well, Khun Pravit, by continually insisting that the Red Shirts are mainly middle-class progressives who don't want the return of Thaksin Shinawatra, is something of a disgrace himself.

melted012345 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 That is so nice of you. That was not his words yesterday though. He was very open about the social status differences but hell, lets change subject anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well, let's see, we have people in white shirts of various backgrounds marching for peace, but Mr. Pravit, whose articles are clearly biased towards the red shirts, slams them as coup supporters. And here you are are doing the same. That is so nice of you. Sun melt the snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melted012345 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Listen to me. Tell me: is coup an act of violence against the nation and its people or not? If not, then fine. But if it is, dont you have any brain to see how the soldiers are there saying stop hurting Thailand? AND what on earth does it mean whether or not Pravit is "red shirt" or not? It is not at all valid point jesus. Who are you? some sort of american who thinks anyone who is not with me, is either commie or terrorist, or both? Your red shirt this has nothing to do with the point of the rally! And there is nothing wrong being called red shirt or not. But I know that people have been sacked because of being one though in Thai newspapers. You cant see beyond their white shirts? I bet if government tells you to eat cyanide because it is healthy you do it too. You have brain or you just eat any shirt that is given to you? wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
