“Kru Manit” reveals joyful 17th anniversary of “Thaksin’s” birthday celebration in Thailand, like the spiritual leader of Pheu Thai, still has a lot of charisma, points out that he has been Prime Minister for a long time, believes that after his sentence is over, there will be people to consult.
Mr. Krumanit Sangphum, MP for Surin, Pheu Thai Party, gave an interview after attending the birthday party of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister, saying that today is an important day for the respected elder, who is like the spiritual leader of us Pheu Thai people, the red shirts, and the general public who love him. Today, he has returned to Thailand and on the occasion of his 75th birthday on July 26, we had the opportunity to visit his house. He considered himself lucky in 2001 to be able to join the day he was graciously appointed as Prime Minister while he was the leader of the Thai Rak Thai Party. Now, more than 24 years have passed and he has returned to have dinner with his friends and children o
n this important occasion. If asked if he was happy, everyone was happy and cheerful. Today marks the 17th year that he has had the opportunity to hold a birthday party in Thailand. At around 2:00 p.m. today, we will join in cutting the cake and wishing him a happy birthday. If you look at the atmosphere and his children, they all seem happy.
As for Mr. Thaksin, he will be released from prison on August 22. Mr. Krumanit stated that if he is released from prison, we will be very happy because he will no longer have to worry about these problems and will be able to travel anywhere more conveniently because we must admit that he is very concerned about the Thai people. I have had the opportunity to meet him many times. The most recent time I traveled to Surin Province, I saw from his eyes and the eyes of the villagers that he was still concerned, especially about the people’s livelihoods and poverty. But on that day, I could not ask him to say anything more than that because he went to make merit and do a great
act of charity.
As for helping the government, does he need a position? Mr. Krumanit said that whoever comes to consult with him, he will give advice anyway. This cannot be denied. However, a political position is impossible because the law is written. We cannot violate it and must comply with it. However, giving advice with the DNA of the Thai Rak Thai Party cannot deny the truth. Don’t blame the Thai Rak Thai Party, the government, or even the general public. They are willing to give advice and Mr. Settha Thavisin, the Prime Minister, said that if consulting is beneficial, he is ready to consult even the MPs who debate. He listens, thinks about it, and puts it into practice.
As for whether Thaksin will return to power after this, Mr. Krumanit said that he still cannot see what power he has. But if asked if he has charisma, he does because someone who has been a prime minister for two terms and has been a prime minister for a long time, the first civilian prime minister to serve a full four years, he certa
inly still has charisma. Mr. Thaksin has administered the country and created many benefits, which are engraved in the minds of the people. But while some prime ministers who were later in power have finished their terms and returned home, the people have already forgotten. But since he has been abroad for 17 years, people have not forgotten him, which shows that he still has a lot of goodness. -316.-Thai News Agency
