Thaksin scraps plan to return next week

Thaksin scraps plan to return next week
Thaksin:” Awaiting the Pheu Thai government.”

A Pheu Thai cause said on Thursday that Thaksin Shinawatra’s plans to return to Thailand may be delayed until a government led by the people of Thailand is established.

The former elite, who is regarded as Pheu Thai’s de facto leader, had originally intended to return on August 10. Last year, Paetongtarn” Ung Ing” Shinawatra, Thaksin’s child, posted about the program on Instagram. Second Thursday, she said, her papa would arrive at the airport in Don Mueang.

According to the cause, the choice was made to make sure his gain went without a hitch.

According to the source, Thaksin made the decision to postpone his return after learning that the prime ministerial ballot that was supposed to take place today had been delayed pending a Constitutional Court ruling on whether or not Pita Limjaroenrat’s re-nomination as the candidate was legitimate in the next parliamentary vote.

The Lese Majeste Law, also known as Section 112 of the Criminal Code, was amended, but the Move Forward Party chief lost the second vote.

According to the cause, Thaksin even thought he should hold off on joining Pheu Thai’s new coalition because the latter was still in talks with other parties.

Currently, the Bhumjaithai, Chartthaipattana, and Democrat parties are the three events most likely to join the Pheu Thai-led union. The United Thai Nation( UTN ) Party and the Palang Pracharath Party( PPRP ) are still negotiating, but a number of micro-parties are anticipated to strengthen the bloc.

The news of Thaksin’s planned returning on August 10 was merely a strategy to win over Pheu Thai sympathizers, according to Pichit Tamoon, an influential member of the red-shirt United Front for Democracy opposed to the Chiang Mai chapter of Dictatorship.

Due to safety concerns, I don’t believe Thaksin may go back home whenever immediately. There are many people who despise him, according to Mr. Pichit.

Red-shirt followers may become disappointed if he does not come back, but we are adjusting to it because we have been waiting for about 20 years. It is up to him to choose a time to come back, Mr. Pichit said.

The former prime minister has never confirmed his plan with the law, according to federal police chief Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas on Thursday and nbsp.

Before being found guilty by the Supreme Court for assisting his then-wife, Khunying Potjaman Na Pombejra, in purchasing perfect area in the Ratchadaphisek region at a discount while he was perfect minister, Thaksin fled the country in 2008.

Sansiri Plc dismisses tax-dodge allegation
Chuvit: Replicating Srettha in the transaction

Sansiri Plc, a real estate designer, yesterday defended its former chief executive Srettha Thavisin, who is currently the Pheu Thai Party’s candidate for prime minister, in response to claims made by whistleblower Chuvit Kamolvisit that he was involved in tax avoidance.

Sansiri refuted claims in a statement released yesterday that the sellers were merely tasked with making payments at the agreed-upon prices and transferring ownership of the land, according to the purchase agreement made between the company and them for the disputed land.

According to Sansiri, the business was unaware of or involved in the sellers’ tax bills. Mr. Srettha, the company’s best executive, had given his approval to the property purchase that the property team of the business had submitted.

” Mr. Srettha approved the order of the land story in his power as the company’s top exec.” The property team, which was also in charge of coordinating [ with concerned people ]], was responsible for the land contract, payment, and land ownership transfer, according to the statement.

The equity shift took place in accordance with the Department of Land’s appropriate rules, regulations, and regulations. Mr. Srettha, according to the real estate tycoon, had completed his duties as the best administrative and had not participated in any property ownership transfers. The organization was adamant that it had firmly adhered to good governance and the law when conducting operations.

When Mr. Srettha was the chief executive of Sansiri, Mr Chuvit held a press conference yesterday to provide proof of abnormalities regarding the August 2019 offer.

In order to avoid paying taxes of 521 million baht on the company’s purchase of a perfect 400-square-wah( flat wah = 4 square meters ) plot on Sarasin Road in Bangkok, Mr. Chuvit claimed that Mrs. Srettha and Sansiri had conspired with the landowners to evade the taxes.

The reported purchase amount was 1.57 billion rmb, or close to 4 million per square woo, according to reports. It was the most expensive area purchase the business had ever made.

According to him, Mr. Srettha approved the purchase and sale contract with the 12 owners of the land combined under a single subject act. Each of the 12 owners would be responsible for excise tax on the sale proceeds, which would complete 521 million baht, under the” ordinary relationship” they formed.

Mr. Chuvit claimed that each of the 12 went to the Department of Land to transport smaller plots to Sansiri in order to avoid paying taxes. The operation took 12 days to complete.

Activists make case for MFP-led govt

The Pheu Thai Party has been urged by a coalition of pro-democracy organizations to change its mind about excluding the Move Forward Party ( MFP ) from the coalition government’s formation.

In a joint declaration released yesterday, 32 organizations warned that pushing the MFP, which won the most House votes in the May 14 poll, into the opposite would be bad for the nation and its politics. It might also result in a severe political position, the statement continued.

According to the report, leaving the MFP may ultimately backlash on the Pheu Thai Party. It also warns that doing so will alienate the party’s supporters, which could reduce the support base of the second-largest party.

The system, led by Campaign for Popular Democracy secretary-general Metha Matkhao, urged senators and MPs to support a candidate for prime minister who would retain Pheu Thai and the MFP in coalition government in order to advance democracy.

The community added that by allowing the two major parties to control the government alone, the” elite,” which are understood to be liberal parties, should make sacrifices.

In the meantime, Veera Somkwamkid, the leader of the Anti-Corruption People’s Network, cautioned that if a democratic dispute got worse, it might lead to another military takeover. In order to avoid falling victim to the” revolution trap” and being used as a political slave, he urged the government to closely observe social developments.

Social activist Sombat Boonngam-anong, however, expressed confidence that Pheu Thai will concentrate on its effort to rewrite the constitution and pave the way for new, just election regulations.

Pheu Thai was urged to assist by Panwadee Tantisirin, a prominent figure in the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, who claimed the group is still fighting for democracy.

She claimed that despite its surveys victory, it hurt to see the MFP able to guide the formation of the government.

The Pheu Thai Party’s candidate for prime minister, former chief executive Srettha Thavisin, was defended by Sansiri Plc on Thursday in response to claims made by journalist Chuvit Kamolvisit that he had participated in tax avoidance.

When Mr. Srettha was the chief executive of Sansiri in August 2019, the former treatment parlor king presented records that he claimed were compelling evidence of constipation.

In order to avoid paying taxes of 521 million baht on the company’s purchase of the premier 400-square-wah property plot on Sarasin Road in Bangkok, Mr. Chuvit claimed that Mrs. Srettha and Sansiri had conspired with the landowners to do so.

The site’s reported purchase amount was 1.57 billion baht, or almost 4 million per square hua( 4 square meters ). It was the most expensive property skill the company had ever made at the time.

According to him, Mr. Srettha approved the purchase and sale contract with the 12 owners of the land combined. According to Mr. Chuvit, the 12 users formed an” ordinary relationship” under which each would be responsible for excise tax on the sale proceeds, which would complete 521 million baht.

Mr. Chuvit claimed that each of the 12 people took 12 days to complete the process of transferring smaller plots to Sansiri in order to avoid paying such a high income. These trades weren’t taxed in the same way as a regular partnership.

Just 59.2 million ringgit in taxes were paid on the deal, according to Mr. Chuvit.

He claimed that Mr. Srettha was unable to dispute his involvement in the case because the company’s minutes revealed his looks and name on the 12 copies of the documents that listed the names of various sellers.

Sansiri stated in its statement that while the business was tasked with making payments at the agreed-upon prices and transferring ownership of the land, the sellers were in charge of paying taxes and rights transfer fees.

According to the statement, the business was unaware of or involved in the sellers’ tax obligations.

According to the speech,” Mr. Srettha approved the order of the land story in his power as the company’s best exec.” & nbsp,

The property group, which was also in charge of coordinating( with the parties involved ), was responsible for the property agreement, payment, and property ownership transfer.

The Department of Land’s right procedures, laws, and rules were followed during the ownership move, it added.

The organization also claimed that it had adhered strictly to the rules and good governance when conducting business.

Pita Limjaroenrat, the president of the Move Forward Party, is disqualified for owning 42, 000 stock in a failed TV company, according to Mr. Chuvit, while more serious offenses go unpunished.

He claimed that” the government doesn’t lose any money from that situation.” However, Mr. Srettha avoided paying taxes in this case, which resulted in status restitution of 521 million ringgit.

He continued,” I will present all the paperwork to the legislators and the House speaker for their consideration in order to determine whether they will help a person who has violated the law by evading taxes.

Mr. Chuvit stated that the Securities and Exchange Commission would even receive his knowledge.

He insisted that Sansiri’s failure to purchase a plot of land he owned had nothing to do with his publication or his desire for personal vengeance.

He continued by saying he had nothing against a candidate for prime minister from the Pheu Thai Party, which has also put forth two other individuals. He privately backs Chaikasem Nitisiri, a legal professional who has Thaksin Shinawatra’s full backing and is still the true force behind the group.

At a press conference on Thursday at The Davis Hotel in Bangkok, past massage parlor king Chuvit Kamolvisit claims that house magnate and lawmaker Srettha Thavisin, the Pheu Thai Party’s candidate for prime minister, evaded taxes.

Pheu Thai government formation news on hold

Now that the ballot for a new prime minister has been delayed for at least another two days, the Pheu Thai Party has postponed its anticipated news about the formation of the government.

After House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha indefinitely postponed the ballot until after the Constitutional Court issues a decision on an associated problem on August 16, deputy president Phumtham Wechayachai broke the news on Thursday.

Pita Limjaroenrat, the leader of the Move Forward Party( MFP ), was nominated for prime minister on July 19 after he lost an earlier bid the previous week. The court claimed that it needed more time to consider the validity of that decision.

Legal experts and legal scholars, who claimed that voting for prime secretary was not a political motion and was therefore not subject to the customary administrative rules of parliament, harshly criticized the July 19 choice. According to those rules, a motion that was rejected may be reintroduced into the legislative session.

Move Forward acknowledged that Mr. Pita was unlikely to receive the help he required following the July 19 vote in parliament, which allowed Pheu Thai to try to form a government.

On Wednesday, Pheu Thai stated that it had become obvious that if the election-winning Move Forward remained in the eight-party fusion, it would not be able to secure support for a state. The latter will then join the opposite.

The information sparked irrational rumors about which events Pheu Thai would form a new partnership and how the government would be chosen.

When the day for choosing a prime minister comes, that information may be made public, according to Mr. Phumtham.

Pheu Thai will keep working with different political parties in the interim to win over more supporters. The sheriff party leader stated on Thursday that it is confident it has garnered enough support for its candidate for prime minister.

” The more seats we get, the more reliable the state is.” Stability will enable the government to more effectively pursue solutions for resolving the nation’s crisis. ( Story continues below. )

Pheu Thai chief Cholnan Srikaew cited Move Forward’s emphasis on amending Area 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the lese-majeste law, in his extraordinary statement on Wednesday.

According to Dr. Cholnan,” It turns out that they do not take any transform to Section 112, and some parties also stated they would never meet a government with Move Forward anyhow.”

Pheu Thai had previously informed Move Forward that it would be leaving the initial eight-party bond and attempting to form a new partnership that may support Mr. Srettha.

Although the one-member Fair Party has announced that it will join the opposite seats in support of Move Forward, many of the original partnership members are anticipated to remain.

On Wednesday, MFP secretary-general Chaithawat Tulathon emphasized that Pheu Thai had previously requested that his party change its mind about the royal slander rules. It merely made note of the fact that other parties had previously stated they had not back a government that tried to alter Section 112.
