    Thaksin returned to Thailand for a brief visit on February 28, 2008, before moving overseas on a self-imposed exile.

    His government was ousted on September 19, 2006, by a military coup led by General Sonthi Boonyaratglin.

    • More cleaning up…….

      Yingluck bemoans lost development because of Prayut coup

      Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Monday lamented the development opportunities lost to the country since Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha led a military coup that had stalled progress.

      Ms Yingluck wrote on her Facebook page that her policies announced in parliament a decade ago, on Aug 23 2011, would have borne fruit by now had Gen Prayut not led a coup against her Pheu Thai-led coalition government.

      Her government's flagship platforms included a rice-pledging scheme and huge investment in high-speed trains.

      "It is very sad that we have to come back to finding ways to restart the country again, after those lost opportunities," she said.

      Ms Yingluck has been active recently on her social media platforms, criticising the government for failing to shore up fruit and rice prices for farmers.

      She was removed from office on May 7, 2014 by a Constitutional Court decision, and her government was ousted two weeks later, on May 22, when then-army chief Gen Prayut seized power by military coup.

      She fled the country ahead of the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions ruling on Aug 25, 2017. She was found guilty of negligence of duty for ignoring corruption in the rice-pledging scheme and was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison.

      It was never explained how the former prime minister was able to slip out of the country.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...of-prayut-coup

      • Rice scheme hangs heavy on budget

        About 220,000 tonnes of low-quality rice under the former Yingluck Shinawatra government's loss-ridden rice-pledging programme remain in government stocks, with losses initially estimated at about 500 billion baht.

        Rachada Dhnadirek, deputy government spokeswoman, said that even though the rice-pledging scheme was terminated several years ago, the financial burden still hangs heavy on the national budget.

        The state-owned Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) reported that the Budget Bureau has set aside 69 billion baht under the 2022 fiscal budget for the government to pay debts incurred by the scheme to the BAAC.

        Currently, the government has a debt of 100 billion baht incurred by the scheme to pay to the BAAC, she said, adding the Budget Bureau is expected to earmark 10-20% of the national budget to pay the debt each year, which would take 3-5 years to clear.

        Ms Rachada also said the Public Warehouse Organisation (PWO), a state enterprise under the Commerce Ministry, will wrap up its accounting of the rice-pledging scheme, with about 220,000 tonnes of rice remaining in government stocks.

        All the rice is of degrading quality and is not fit for consumption by humans or animals. It can only be used for industrial purposes, she said.

        The PWO plans to release all the stocks by next September and the PWO will then be able to wrap up its accounting.

        Initially, the PWO estimated a loss of 500 billion baht as a result of the scheme during the 2011-2014 crop seasons, Ms Rachada said, adding some 1,443 lawsuits have been filed against those involved in graft related to it.

        She said losses were also caused by selling the rice at low prices at auctions. The old rice fetches low prices, she said, adding the government has to rent warehouses to store it, among other costs.

        Kriangsak Prateepwisarut, director of the PWO, said the agency has asked the Rice Policy and Management Committee chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to allow it to release the 220,000 tonnes.

        If approved, the PWO will need over six months to release the stocks by holding auctions to sell the rice that can be used in the industry sector, Mr Kriangsak said.

        Of the 1,143 lawsuits filed by the PWO, 1,136 have been lodged with the Central Administrative Court, and the rest are pending trials in the Supreme Administrative Court.: https://www.bangkokpost.com/business...eavy-on-budget

        • Thaksin reveals plan to return home this year

          Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is living in self-exile in Dubai, says he plans to return to Thailand "serve the people and the country" this year, but only his daughter Paethongtan will be told when as it is a "great secret".

          Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra on the @careorth Twitter account with the message: "This year I wish all Thais to see me return to Thailand and work for them."

          Thaksin was speaking on Tuesday night during a forum, CARE Clubhouse x CARE Talk on Youtube, using the pseudonym Tony Woodsome.

          The topic for discussion was "Lessons from the Tsunami to solve the Covid crisis. In order for the country to survive, the country should have a wise leader. Is this correct?"

          Thaksin said that in 2022 he wanted the Thai people to continue to exercise patience, the same way they had during the past year.

          "I personally want to make a blessing, but do not know whether that would be a curse for people who hate me. The blessing is for myself to be able to return home to help with the work," he said.

          Thaksin outlined his four New Year wishes.

          First, he wanted to take care of his grandchildren for his remaining lifetime.

          "Second, no matter who is in government, I am ready to help it solve problems - free of charge.

          "Third, I want to give lectures - and a glass of iced-coffee would be enough for me.''

          Fourth, he wanted rich Thais to make contributions, to support business startups.

          Thaksin added: "I hope I could myself be a 2022 New Year present to the Thai people - to work for them and the country - when I return. As for the time of my return, I will whisper that only to Nong Ing [his daughter Paethongtan], and let her know when - not anybody else because it is a great secret. This will definitely not be a burden to the Thai people."

          Tipanan Sirichana, a former spokeswoman for the Palang Pracharath Party now working at the PM's Office secretariat, believed Thaksin's vow to return home was intended to cover up the accusation he had exercised his influence over a political party in breach of the law.

          According to Ms Tipanan, Thaksin's self-blessing was more for his political gain than in the interests of the people.

          "In fact, his silence would be of more help, if the country is to be in peace. If he wanted to make himself a New Year present to the Thai people, he should return home and enter the justice process. This is the quickest way for him to return to the country," Ms Tipanan said. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...home-this-year

          • Thaksin hit by storm that could sink Thailand’s main opposition party

            Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is seen by most neutral observers as the de-facto leader and patriarch of opposition party Pheu Thai.

            But the party has always insisted it is free from the influence of the wealthy ex-PM, who has been self-exiled overseas since fleeing a 2008 corruption conviction he claims was politically motivated.

            Officially, Thaksin is neither an executive nor even a member of Pheu Thai.

            However, fresh allegations of his political influence are now threatening to kill off Thailand’s main opposition party.

            The Political Parties Act prohibits any non-member from influencing a party’s affairs directly or indirectly. Parties who violate the law face disbandment by the Constitutional Court.

            Alleged intervention

            In recent months, Thaksin has made several moves that his critics describe as interventions in Pheu Thai affairs.

            Some have filed complaints with the Election Commission (EC), seeking its decision whether to send the case to the Constitutional Court. Among the complainants are social activist Srisuwan Janya and politician Ruangkrai Leekitwattana, who defected from Pheu Thai to join the ruling Palang Pracharath Party.

            • Yingluck faces another corruption charge

              The National Anti-Corruption Commission plans to indict former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra and others in the Supreme Court for allegedly wasting a 240-million-baht budget on publicising infrastructure projects in 2013.

              Public prosecutors had earlier turned down the case citing lack of evidence.

              NACC secretary-general Niwatchai Kasemmongkol said on Wednesday the commission had now resolved it would itself take the issue to the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions.

              He expected the lawsuit would reach the court in two weeks.

              The legal action will also include Yingluck's then secretary-general Suranand Vejjajiva and former deputy prime minister Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisan, and private parties involved in the roadshow project - Matichon Plc and Siam Sport Syndicate Plc and its director Ravi Lohtong.

              NACC alleges the Yingluck government illegally allocated 240 million baht to the "Roadshow to Thailand's Future Thailand 2020" project.

              The anti-graft panel considered the expenditure to be a waste and to have caused damage to the state. Therefore, the parties involved were in breach of the Criminal Code for malfeasance, the organic law on corruption prevention and suppression and the law on price collusion in government projects, Mr Niwatchai said.

              The "Roadshow to Thailand's Future Thailand 2020" was launched in 2013 by the Secretariat of the Prime Minister on the instruction of then-prime minister Yingluck.

              The campaign included exhibitions, seminars and other PR activities to promote the project and proposed legislation allowing the government to borrow 2 trillion baht to finance it.

              On March 12, 2014, the Constitutional Court ruled the bill was unconstitutional. As a result, events held during the roadshow were rendered null and void and the 240-million-baht already spent on the campaign had been wasted.

              Yingluck fled the country in 2017, failing to appear at the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions on Aug 25, 2017 for a ruling in her rice-pledging trial.

              The court later sentenced her in absentia on Sept 27, 2017, to five years in jail for failing to prevent false and corruption-plagued government-to-government sales of rice from her rice-pledging scheme. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...ruption-charge

              • NACC sues Yingluck, two publications over Thailand 2020 roadshow project

                The National Anti-Corruption Commission on Friday filed a lawsuit against former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, two newspapers, and three other defendants over alleged corruption in the Thailand 2020 roadshow project.

                The lawsuit filed with the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders named Yingluck, former deputy PM Niwatthamrong Boonsongphaisan, former PM’s secretary-general Suranand Vejjajiva, Matichon Plc, Siam Sport Syndicate Plc, and Rawi Lothong, managing director of Siam Sport, as the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth defendants respectively.

                The lawsuit alleged that Yingluck and the five other defendants had caused damages of Bt239.7 million to the country by approving the Thailand 2020 roadshow project to the two publications without properly inviting bids for the project.

                The lawsuit alleged that Yingluck, Niwatthamrong and Suranand had committed malfeasance and nonfeasance from late August 2013 to March 12 2014 to unfairly help the two publications with the public relations project.

                Niwatthamrong, Suranand, a representative of Siam Sport, and Rawi were present to hear the charges. The court allowed them to be released on bail. Yingluck fled the country in 2017, shortly before the Supreme Court was due to issue its verdict over corruption in the rice pledging scheme run by her government.

                The court will announce on April 19 whether it would accept the case for judicial review. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40011650

                • Former Thai PM Yingluck to be charged over transfer of NSC chief

                  The Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) in Thailand has resolved to file malfeasance charges, under Section 157 of the Penal Code, with the Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Political Office Holders against exiled former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra over the illegal transfer of Thawil Pliensri, secretary-general of the National Security Council back in 2011.

                  Secretary-General of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) Niwatchai Kasemmongkol told the media today (Monday) that a joint committee of the NACC and the OAG have agreed that there is sufficient grounds for the OAG to indict Yingluck, as proposed by the NACC.

                  In 2020, the NACC faulted the former prime minister for abusing her power when she transferred Thawil to the Prime Minister’s Office in 2011. He was succeeded by the then national police chief, Pol Gen Wichean Potephosree.

                  Wichean was then succeeded by Pol Gen Priewpan Damapong, a close relative of Yingluck, who was due to retire in the following year.

                  The NACC ruled that the transfer of Thawil was done with undue haste, taking just four days to complete the entire process to pave the way for Pol Gen Priewpan to assume the national police chief’s post.

                  According to the NACC’s findings, Yingluck placed a phone call to the Office of the Secretary-General of the PM’s Office on September 4th, 2011, to arrange for a vacancy in the Office to accommodate Thawil’s transfer.

                  On the same day, a memo from the PM’s Office was sent ordering the acceptance of Thawil as an advisor. Another memo was then sent from the to then-deputy prime Minister Kowit Wattana, seeking his approval for Thawil’s transfer. The dates of the two memos were later changed from Sept 4th, which was Sunday, to Sept 5th.

                  Thawil later took the case to the Administrative Court and he won in both the Administrative and the Supreme Administrative courts. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/former-...-of-nsc-chief/

                  • Thaksin's daughter moves closer to becoming Pheu Thai PM candidate

                    A daughter of former prime minister Thaksin has been promoted to a higher position in Pheu Thai, but Paetongtarn Shinawatra declined to say whether she might eventually run as the party's candidate to lead the country.

                    At a Pheu Thai meeting held in Udon Thani on Sunday, Ms Paetongtarn was introduced as the project leader of a drive to attract new members to the main opposition party.

                    It marked another step forward in her political career, following her position in charge of introducing innovation and bolstering public participation of all age groups in the party founded by her father as Thai Rak Thai.

                    In naming her the project leader, Pheu Thai leader Cholnan Srikaew hailed Ms Paetongtarn for embodying the "DNA" of Pheu Thai before turning the floor over to her to set the future direction of the party.

                    Ms Paetongtarn said Pheu Thai hoped to expand its current membership of 8 million to 14 million in a push to attain victory in the next general election.

                    "The Pheu Thai Party must not only win the election, but also be the core party in a new goverment so that party policy will be implemented," she said, admitting that the party had made mistakes which could serve as lessons for improvement.

                    Asked outside the meeting about her chances of becoming a candidate for prime minister, she said that until Parliament was dissolved it was too soon to talk about the issue. The party has many members qualified to be nominated as a candidate for the premiership, she added.

                    The Shinawatras have produced two prime ministers in Thaksin and his younger sister Yingluck. Both were ousted from Government House by military coups.

                    Seksakon Atthawong, vice minister to the PM’s office, warned Ms Paetongtarn not to follow the footsteps of her father and aunt, who he said used their parliamentary power to further their own personal interests.

                    Mr Seksakon was a member of Pheu Thai before defecting to Palang Pracharath.
