A PEOPLE’S MP today (May 9) called on the authorities to question Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra over her father/de facto Pheu Thai boss Thaksin Shinawatra’s illegal stay at Police Hospital as determined by the Medical Council.
People’s MP Rangsiman Rome posted on his Facebook page to suggest the authorities in charge of combating corruption and maintaining rules of law promptly summon the woman prime minister for truthful inquiry into her father having spent a six-month period at Police Hospital without being “critically ill” as earlier propagated otherwise in public, following the Medical Council’s determination announced yesterday that no factual evidence had been found to vindicate such false claims earlier made in his favour.
Rangsiman who apparently referred to agencies of the judicial branch which he has suggested to do the questioning of the woman prime minister insisted that Paetongtarn, who may have been aware of all irregularities allegedly perpetrated in favour of her father, shed truthful light during the proposed inquiry to put an end to the notorious saga surrounding the mega-billionaire power player’s doubt-laden health conditions.
Paetongtarn has remained tight-lipped when asked by reporters to comment on the Medical Council’s resolutions which repudiated Thaksin’s “critical illnesses” propaganda as well as withheld medical licences of two unnamed doctors for compromising medical ethics by giving falsified information about it and issued a stern warning to one other for compromising his medical profession.
Some senior government officials had allegedly taken legal loopholes to keep the de facto Pheu Thai boss, earlier viewed as a convict at large, from being literally put behind bars for a single day to otherwise serve a curtailed, one-year jail sentence upon his return from self-exile abroad in 2023.
In lieu of Bangkok Remand’s prison, the prime minister’s father had been questionably granted privileges of a premium ward of Police Hospital where he had stayed with no evident traces of “critical illnesses” for a six-month stretch until he was released on parole early last year.
“If the factual event in which Thaksin had laid back on his Police Hospital bed sliding his cell phone’s screen up and down finally found nobody accountable for such legal wrongdoings, others who may have personal connections, power and money would be encouraged do the same to literally keep themselves from jail,” the People’s MP said.
The prime minister’s father had been earlier sentenced in absentia by the Supreme Court judges in charge of criminal lawsuits against persons in political positions to an eight-year jail term on power abuse charges perpetrated during his previous premiership which was commuted to only one year by royal pardon but was never practically served for a single day.
